I’m surprised Cyberpunk runs on the Steam Deck as well as it does. It truly is an incredible little machine.
I am continuously shocked that people play things like BG3 or Cyberpunk on their Steam Deck.
When one has no other choice, one plays one’s favourite game under any conditions. When I was little, I played Minecraft at 15 to 20 FPS and the lowest draw distance.
I sat through Yakuza Kiwami 2 at unstable 20fps like 4 years ago, and recently played E33 at 20-30.
30fps is terrible until you play for like 20 minutes and get used to it, though the instability was actually bad. I tried 120fps for the first time recently with Silksong, but going back to 60 wasn’t bad either.
yep, I got through about 50 hours of Subnautica at ~15 fps back in the day.
Even portal with RTX is kinda playable on the steam deck though if you use that config that one person made to enable fsr3 and do some default settings changes, and put the gpu clock up to full
When I played games I gta3 worked on my pentium 3 like shit, minimum resolution, probably less than 10fps and very slow. Still played a reasonable amount. The vice city arrived and played much smoother without constantly blocking. Managed to play it to the end.
Yeah that’s fair. I definitely made do with less than ideal playing conditions when I was younger and it was all I could manage. Bit of a privileged take from me.

We’re so spoiled by graphical power nowadays. It’s easy to forget there was a time when a consistent 30 fps was like using 4k+ with high fps today.
Then again, I played some newer titles for the first time in a while, and the state of optimization brings some of the feelings right back.

Any potato can run any game.
I mean the human eye can only see 30fps
This takes me back to the Xbox 360 era.
This is absolutely untrue. Most people can see the 60hz strobe of the US electrical grid. This is why cheap night lights seem to flash.
It’s a meme
I assure you, the US is very real
