For anyone apprehensive giving a “playable” title go it seems that most of these are pretty solid bets. If RDR2 is anything to go by, which plays phenomenal and plays pretty much out of the box, I expect there are some fantastic titles out there beyond “Great on deck” verified category. As the descriptions say the only downsides are some text sizes or an infrequent use of keyboard. Maybe some controls that are a little different.
Anyone tried a playable title that proves to be good on SD?
There is a number of “playable” games that run better than “verified” ones. Steam verification system is garbage, because it entirely ignores performance. Games that run 60fps at full details are “verified” because they have things like third party launcher that requires you to touch the screen, or have some prompts on the screen showing pc controls. “Verified” games, on the other hand, run at 30fps at the lowest possible details. It’s just stupid.
Cool. Anything you can recommend?
Vast majority of games below runs at either 60 or 90fps, either at full details, or with some details lowered to reach 60/90fps.
Only Cult of the Lamb runs below 60, but only under certain circumstances. Only Fallout 4 doesn’t feel all that great, even though it technically runs at 60.
