Superposer

Playing games

Per-game settings

Open a game in Superposer, then Settings:

SettingWhat it does
Performance presetQuality, Balanced, Battery or Custom; see Performance presets
Translation layerAutomatic (D3DMetal for 64-bit games, otherwise DXMT), D3DMetal, DXMT, DXVK (experimental), wined3d
Game resolutionRender below your display's resolution and let Superposer upscale
Display modeFullscreen, or a resizable Mac window
UpscalerMetalFX, bilinear, nearest (sharp pixels), integer, or off
Frame rate limitCaps how fast the game draws
Frame generationOff by default; see Frame generation
Performance overlayThe Performance HUD from the start
In-game toolsSuperposer's overlay, hotkeys and controller hold in this game
Runtime and D3DMetal versionLatest / Default, or keep the game on another installed version; each shows the game's last test on it
CompatibilityDLSS → MetalFX, Advertise AVX, MSync, High-resolution mode, Apple's Metal HUD
AdvancedEnvironment variables for special fixes

Each value says whether it's the Default, Superposer's Recommended value for that game, or Your setting. Changes apply the next time the game starts; Reset All to Recommended… undoes yours.

If a game has its own DLSS, FSR or XeSS, set the resolution and upscaler inside the game; Superposer then doesn't scale on top.

A game with both a Mac and a Windows version shows which one runs. Use the Windows Version Instead… is for Mac ports that run worse; Switch Back to the Mac Version… undoes it. Steam must be closed for either, and saves may not carry over between the two versions.
