What is your experience playing DS3 on the Steam Deck with an external monitor? what resolution do you use? What kind of performance were you able to squeeze out?

I'm currently playing at 1280x800 on a 4k tv and while this may not sound rather good, my couch is some meters away from the tv so in the end it's not that bad (or I'm not that picky). I'm on high graphical settings and get generally between 50 and 60 fps. Would you recommend switching to 1920x1080?

i'd try 720p if that matches your tv.

no black bars, probably no visible downgrade and maybe a tad smoother fps wise.

you could try 1080p, your deck wont explode or anything, but it probably leads to more fps fluctuations.

720p could be a good idea to get rid of the bars and not losing too much, I will give it a shot, thanks
