Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is “working great” or “perfectly”. I believe I’m in the minority, but I just can’t enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m used to playing mainly on PC. Still enjoy my Steam Deck a lot though, even if it can’t keep up sometimes.

40fps @ 720p is absolutely fine for me but I need decent shadows, textures and anti-aliasing or it just looks really rough.

Frame pacing is also super important. It has to feel smooth and not inconsistent.

Low to medium graphics settings, 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 800p.

Anything in that range or higher and I’m happy

I have a hard time playing anything other than Indies on the Deck. Performance is pretty terrible with triple A games IMO.

constant framefrate is about the only thing i really need. above 8 fps is considered ok 30 is my standard and 60 if it can do it is great.
