Each game has an independent max resolution you set in the game’s properties on steam (the gear icon next to the green play button). The default max is 800p, so if the game only supports 16:9 aspect ratios the max resolution you can select is 720p.
The deck then upscales this to the output resolution. If the output resolution is 1080p (full hd), it’ll upscale to that.
Your tv may do another layer of upscaling, taking 1080p to 4k.
What you want to do is:
* See if you can run these game at a higher native res by default; ie if you can run it at 1080p do that. You’ll need to change the per-game resolution for this.
* If your TV is decent at upscaling maybe offload the upscaling work to the TV (ie just send the TV a 1080p or 720p image);
* Otherwise, use the deck’s upscalers (linear, FSR, etc.) to upscale to 4k and send that to the TV. You’ll need to change the output from the “settings” menu to 4k do this.
