   Let's do some performance testing of #Steam Game Recording!

   Starting off on #SteamDeck LCD with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I ran the benchmark at MED quality preset with Game Recording off, then Background Game Recording on and recorded results for the *2nd* run of each. I also ran each set of benchmarks twice to ensure I saw the same results.

   For this example, we're seeing a 5% performance hit.

   (In results screen, you can see the GPU working just a bit harder w/ recording on.)

   More to come.
