Damn people are able to play baldurs gate on there? I tried and everything becomes so blurry that it’s not even worth. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong

Set resolution to 900p, turn all settings to low or off (especially Antialiasing and god rays) except for textures at medium and the AMD upscaling to ultra high quality. Enable slow HDD mode if you installed the game to an SD card. Increase text size.

Runs very smooth for me.

Setting to low isn't necessary. Runs great on Medium.

Turn off FSR. I've got 30 hours into it and prefer it on deck over PC.

Try turning off FSR in the graphics settings, it looks much better and clearer with it off.

Second this! FSR makes everything blurry in BG3

I don't have it on me but there's an article with recommended settings and it runs pretty well

Maxing out AA was a big help for me, with there being some weirdness due to the option resetting to off on game restart. I'm not sure I'd that's been fixed in the latest patch.
