If you are to game at 720p on a bigger resolution monitor, do you run it Fullscreen(= blurry but full-sized screen) or Windowed(= sharp but small screen)?
depending on the game, fsr(or dlss if you have the option) may be available in options to help you out, otherwise you could give a free option a go, such as Magpie

[First Impression] ROG Ally and Ayaneo 2021 as RPG/Visual Novel machines
For games that won't go full screen, at least we have Magpie as a last resort. The experience won't be as seamless though...

Downscaling resolution to 1080p is blurry
Another thing you can try is playing the game in a borderless window at a lower resolution and using Magpie to upscale it to fullscreen. Magpie offers a variety of upscaling options that can produce a less blurry image than the bilinear interpolation that is typically done when upscaling by the GPU or display.

Live Upscale Videos On PC/Steam Deck
Configure VLC to play the video in an extra window with the same resolution as the video source and upscale the window to fit the screen. On Windows 10 the FSR upscaling can be achieved with Magpie. On the Steam Deck the system built-in FSR/CAS combination is used.

3d pc gaming nReal Air Works Great
also using enabled antialiasing in game settings (or even globally set in video driver) consume much less resources then rendering full size bigger resolution image for reducing aliasing. there are also such tools like Magpie (https://github.com/Blinue/Magpie/blob/main/README_EN.md) or Lossless Scaling tool from Steam. they enable FSR supersampling to any game on any GPU.

Bought the game and played last night…. Absolutely incredible……
To everything that the community has said, I also want to add that No Man's Sky has FSR tech (the game runs at a lower resolution and it's upscaled). You can use Magpie or even better, Losless Scaling to create a similar effect in SC and win some extra frames :)

Diablo 2 LOD Monterey with Porting Kit working
Hey. Just posting to say Diablo 2 LoD is 100% working in Monterey with Porting Kit by Paul the Tall. I searched for the base game then expansion in the Library tab, installing the base normally but the expansion by clicking on the "Install Patch/Mod" option. I was able to upgrade to 1.13c this way too. The resolution was able to be increased to 1440x900 with no black bars with D2DX.
