    people seem to think the steam deck is a potato. you’d be surprised at what it can handle with decent or lower graphic settings.

      As long as you stay on the small screen. In TV mode, 3D games will stutter or look ugly or both. I stick to pixel art mostly for this reason.

          I couldn’t even get Visions of Mana to run at decent FPS, not even on potato settings, and that’s really not AAA graphics material. Expedition 33, same thing. Everspace 2 runs ok, but with settings turned way down, and it really doesn’t look pretty anymore on my TV. I definitely cannot get anything visually comparable to, e.g., a God of War or Horizon to run at the performance my ps4 ran those.

          There’s a lot of cool 2D games, it’s fine for those. I’ve stopped trying with the other things.

          If you know some magic trick, enlighten me.

            Never tried any of those ones, sorry.

            Mostly keep it cool, reduce FPS/mess with power settings, lower graphics if needed. Check protondb in case there are little tweaks needed.

            I’m sure you’re not lying, but our experience has been great. Forza 5, DayZ, Valheim, ARC, Long Dark, Zomboid - we’re very happy with the performance of the titles we play.

        no? I play docked and handheld. I actually prefer docked for stuff like BG3.

        runs fine. looks fine. I’m not sure ive ever experienced a stutter effect while docked.
