It’s not entirely clear whether the deck fluctuating between 200mhz and 1040mhz is in itself an issue. I get this in The Ascent but it performs absolutely fine but in Cyberpunk 2077 and The Surge 2 the frame times are all over the place resulting in a stuttery not very playable experience.

I do NOT get this issue on my LCD deck but I do on the OLED. Having said that I don’t think it’s related to the OLED specifically because I have read reports of the LCD deck having this issue too.

On the benchmark in Cyberpunk I lock the FPS within steam to 60hz/30fps (LCD) and noticed the maximum frame rate is as expected 30fps and the minimum is not much below that 28 or something. On the OLED even though it’s locked to 90hz/30fps the result is too an AVERAGE of 30fps but the maximum frame rate is 88fps and the minimum is 15fps. That to me explains the stuttery performance but I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried every possible combination of settings and it’s always the same stuttery experience.

I have already recorded a video and intend to do that as part of an RMA process.

“Just send it to valve”. So I can’t post my experience of this in a thread literally discussing this issue?

Definitely felt it. I had to open the overlay to see wtf was going on because cyberpunk was a locked 30fps(LCD model) and now it’s all over the place (OLED model).

I’m getting it on the OLED model in Cyberpunk 2077, The Surge 2, and TOTK in yuzu. Performance has been hit quite badly with tons of microstutters.

I ran Cyberpunk side by side LCD Vs OLED, exact same SteamOS build, exact same graphics settings in both, (game video, game graphics, deck QAM) and on the OLED where I have this issue the frame times are all over the place and it is visibly stuttering whereas on the LCD deck it is a locked smooth consistent 30fps

The clock speed flickers rapidly to 200mhz and back up and now and then also gets locked at 1040mhz whereas on the LCD it adjusts the GPU clock speed in a more normal manner.
