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?

what kind of performance do you get from DS3 in 1080p?

I wasn't playing DS3 but Elden Ring.

It was not the best performance but unchanged from using the main screen.

Lately I've been streaming from my gaming PC so I can play on the couch, which means I get amazing performance.

But the external monitor didn't degrade performance meaningfully.

so you notice no difference in performance from playing on the deck screen in 1280x800 to the external monitor in 1080p?

[–] huginn@feddit.it 1 points 8 months ago

No I didn't. But honestly I can't swear to the exact output resolution when I was playing.
