Somewhat clickbait title, but what are some games (AAA or not) that just do not run well on Deck. There are some games that are listed as verified like Baulders Gate that I hear simply can not run on deck at an acceptable frame rate/stable performance.
Is this acceptable?
Baldur’s Gate 3 (Patch 4 / FSR 2.2) - Just the Worst Parts Test
For some it is - some it is NOT.
How about Hogwarts?
Hogwarts Legacy Highlight Reel (Settings/Performance, Night/Day, Biomes, Mechanics)
What about Valheim?
Valheim - Dark, Fog, Complicated Building - realistic fps showing
If you find these all acceptable? Good to go. If not? I would think the Deck wouldn’t be a good fit.
I own a deck as of now. Have the LCD but want to upgrade to OLED. By big fear is purchasing a game and not being able to actually play it. I can deal with 30 no problem. Im a switch owner so I can deal with sub par graphics no problem. But not getting a consistent 25-30 is brutal.
Honestly, I’m kinda out if I can’t see 40-45 REASONABLY sustained. I’m fine with a dip here and there (like on the puzzle elevator in the Hogwart video - very jarring, but didn’t get me killed :D …)
Just remember - and not everybody knows this; sorry if you do…
Steam actually has a generous return policy. 2 weeks or 2 hours - full refund … pretty much no questions asked. Now, if you run through 10 games a month? They are likely going to cut you off (the number isn’t published - not that I’ve seen) for a month - but use this to get satisfaction on those unknown games. I do it alot.
Oooooooo. I will have to try it out then!!
