Yup, it’s the new normal if you want to have a decent experience for way too many games these days.

    I haven’t tried them but I often hear about people modding “potato mode” versions of games (pretty sure one is already out for Starfield and Friends, for example) - fighting game players sometimes use them even if their systems are good to minimize any hitches that would screw up their inputs in a match.

    I’m not sure to what degree that sort of thing runs on Deck because of how Proton works, but theoretically that combined with the Deck’s other performance-enhancing modes will help some games run better for you!

      That’s interesting. I didn’t know potato mode was anything other than obscure YouTuber content. I rarely play anything demanding, but I’ll look into potato mode for some games.

      What I’m really looking forward to playing is fallout new Vegas, disco Elysium, and divinity original sin 2.

      I’m sure they will all run super well on the deck.
