Possibly, I could just be lucky that I’ve not found a game yet that seems to have taken a performance hit on my end.
But even Forza Horizon 5, a game that I would assume would become absolutely unplayable if it dropped down to 200, manages to drop to 200 for multiple seconds at a time and maintain the same frame times that I had in 3.4 for me.
For what it’s worth, I think there are two bugs going on with the GPU clock at the moment.
For some people it’s effecting performance, for others it’s purely visual (which seems to be the group I’m in).
I’ve just updated and I’m still seeing the exact same behaviour (visually jumping between 200 and 1024) as before though, so whatever their temporary fix was, it’s hasn’t worked.
This has completely busted external display fps limits for me.
60=30fps
30=20fps
15=12fps
12=10fps
10=9fps
And 40fps is also now 30fps…
Game speed in this is also tied to framerate, so if you’re playing with a framerate limit below 60 it’ll play slower.
Try setting the “Fullscreen Display” option in settings to “Auto-Detect (Exclusive)”. The game works fine for me, but I’ve seen a few linux users say that the game ran in slow motion until they changed that option.
Similar issue here, I used to play 1080p 60hz, but since 3.5.5 1080p 60hz could only result in a max of 30fps when set to 60fps for me (and all framerates below that were also incorrect, 30fps being 15fps for example)
I managed to resolve the issue by bumping up to 1080p 120hz, at which point all of the usual framerates became available to me again.
On top of that, I had stutters in select games that never used to be there, I managed to resolve this by setting the steam deck display settings to 1440p.
