What do you consider "good performance" of a game on the deck?

3 years ago by GrimReaperCZ to c/steamdeck

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.

Depends on the game. Older games and 2D games I expect 60FPS at native resolution with a lot of the graphical options enabled. Morrowind, Stardew Valley, Doom 3, etc.

Newer games I don’t mind turning down the graphical options to try and score that 45-60FPS. Cyberpunk, Jedi Fallen Order, Skyrim, etc.

I know what you were trying to say with your comment but Skyrim is about 12 years old now lol. Not quite a newer game

If you play other games from that era they play a lot better than Skyrim

Sometimes I forget that Skyrim is that old.
