Clarity boost

This feature improves the visual quality of the stream to make it look clearer and sharper. Unlike Edge's exclusive Clarity Boost feature, this works with all kind of devices and browsers.

How to use

Clarity boost's settings

Important

Disable Edge's Clariy Boost feature first if you're using it.

  1. Open Better xCloud's Stream settings.
  2. Switch to Audio & Video tab.
  3. Adjust settings.

Explain

  • Renderer: there are two options

    • Default: default renderer
    • WebGL2: better performance + battery life
  • Renderer configuration

    • Default: let the browser decide
    • Low power: use less battery
    • High performance: prioritize rendering performance over power consumption
    • 📝 It's recommended to only use Default or Low power. Using High performance doesn't provide better visual image.
  • Clarity boost:

    • Unsharp masking: simple and provides acceptable visual quality
    • AMD FidelityFX CAS: only available in WebGL2 renderer. This provides better visual quality than the Unsharp masking method.

Which renderer to use?

If your device supports it, using WebGL2 + AMD FidelityFX CAS will provide the best visual quality + better battery life (up to 30%).
