how to correctly use lsfg?

Hi everyone, I just installed Decky Loader and lossless scaling for frame generation, and I have a question. As I understand it, for frame generation to work correctly (as it was written in the guides I read), you need to disable the TDP limit in the Steam sidebar. But then any demanding AAA game will consume all available 15 watts, and battery life will be very short, right? Because at least for me, if I set the TDP limit to, say, 10, the game starts to lag, and this leads to a second question: how to properly limit FPS? Should this be done in the game itself, or in the Steam sidebar, or in the lsfg plugin? To what level, 30 or 60? I apologize in advance if my questions seem stupid, but in the videos I watched, little was said about this, and for everyone else, everything works just with the click of a finger.

Disabling TDP Limit isn't necessary at all in order for frame gen to work. If you lower it too much it will hurt performance at some point regardless if using decky-lsfg or not. As for your second question, there are may ways to limit the fps, but what you don't want to do is limit it using the steam sidebar. This will cause unintended side effects like lots of input delay. Some methods of limiting fps yield better or worse results depending on the game, so its up to you ultimately decide which way to limit. Personally I would either go with limiting it via in game option if available, or via using DXVK_FRAME_RATE. If you use decky-lsfg-vk to do the fps limit, it's essentially using the DXVK_FRAME_RATE method. Ultimately you will end up with a launch option looking something like this.
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=30 ~/lsfg %command% . And if you set the fps multiplier to X2 , you will get 60 fps if the lsfg-vk hooks properly. You will get lower than 60 fps if your game itself drops below 30 fps since lsfg-vk is just essentially doubling your frames in this case. Hope this helps.
