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

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.

    I genuinely think it’s all dependent on the game. Very low frame rates can be quite playable on games that don’t require good reactions, think something like slay the spire, I’d argue Fallout works pretty well as well thanks to VATS. On the other hand, fighting games need to be at 60 FPS period. I am usually happy on the deck so long as I can hit 45 FPS.

      I think I could agree with that. I play more action games than anything, so that’s why I’m mostly opposed to anything lower than 45 FPS I guess.
