I overclocked my steam deck, and now it runs at a 90% locked 30 fps in new Atlantis.
So, I’d say within the next update and maybe Proton update, we can see it improve heavily.
This game is shit
I’ve installed Steam Deck Essentials mod (basically lower-resolution textures) and it runs really nicely on medium.
I think in terms of the hand crafted moments and questlines it’s among the best Bethesda has done but the exploration is caca lol. I still had fun with it personally
have you tried using the texture performance mod to decrease texture resolution and see if you can get a stable 30?
Honestly from countless reviews and opinions from friends, Starfield is not a great game
There are so many other games have came out that I would rather spend my time and money. I would probably buy it like 3 years later with a massive discount.
I love it, been playing for a few hours every day for a few weeks now.
Altough I’ve got graphics set down quite a bit I haven’t had any problems with frame drops. (That I’ve noticed).
Steamdeck 64gb led version
count fingers
That’s cool. But also:
- There’s no excuse for them launching such an unoptimized game. None at all.
- The game just isn’t very good.
It’s on game pass which works well on the deck after the initial install
Very true and gets him an actual locked 30 fps experience.
on a scale of 1-10, how easy is it to get a overclock going and how far did you bring it?
love your kill la kill profile picture btw
CPU and GPU are easy with keyboard and a USB hub
Do not touch the RAM if you are not willing to remove the battery, but the CPU and GPU are fairly easy and if you ok with less battery life, go for it.
Just pay attention to the temps and know where to set your system.
You can also try undervolting it, which is available right in the stock BIOS now.
I would highly recommend using curve optimizer. You apply it from the OS and the setup I’m using doesn’t default to applying on boot until you want it to. So you test it as a temp setting for a while and if it’s stable you can tell it to apply every time. No real way to brick your device and for AMD cpus curve optimizer is one of the best “free” performance/battery tweaks.
would that work on a deck with the 119 BIOS?
Installed it on my Xbox for launch. Played a few hours. Got bored. Not sure about the hype for this
The game was supposed to be the salvation for Xbox this gen. Every single Xbox loyalist hyped the game to the moon but you can’t control reviews on Steam and the game is in its well deserved place around ~70%.
You could play something good in the mean time
Borefield.
I’m running my deck (LCD) with 4GB VRAM and CU2 Recommended Settings and since the most recent patch I’ve noticed MUCH better performance, currently running it at 800p without FSR, all low settings except Indirect Lighting (Ultra), Volumetric Lighting (Medium), GTAO (Medium) and Crowd Density (Medium). Game looks and runs brilliant with these settings
Is your deck oled ? and are you using custom fast ssd like 2tb wd sn770m ?
Have you tried installing the performance mod?
