I don’t even bother trying to run newer games on steam deck. If it doesn’t run at 60 fps docked on 720p with FSR I’ll wait for the next iteration. I’m a couch gamer and always will be
You should really try embracing the 40fps screen refresh rate. It's actually half way between 30fps and 60fps by frame time so it looks a lot smoother than you'd think.
Nothing else has a screen that can actually do 40 Hz refresh so you usually can't use 40 fps because it wouldn't align with the screen refreshes.
40 fps unlocks a ton of games for the steam deck to run well.
40 is fine if I’m just playing on the Deck’s small screen but I prefer playing on the TV where 60 is better
If you only play docked, it'd probably be better to have a full PC hooked up to your TV than a steamdeck
I don’t have money for a full PC lmao
Fair. Even if you went cheap/second hand it's probably more than a steam deck
