Agree. AAA titles aren’t suited to run on a Deck and should be streamed from a PC with remote play…but I this k this is the appeal of having the games in a portable format, that people are willing to put up with such shit performance.

Pretty much the same titles over and over again.
I’ll never not be shocked at BG3 because it runs potato quality but to each their own, I suppose.

It really depends on the specific game, many older AAA games or non-unreal games run fine.
It’s also interesting seeing how some games run much better now than they did on release. CP2077 (non-dlc parts) runs pretty well now for example, much better than it did when the Deck first came out.

I thought elden ring ran beautifully. Is bg3 that rough on deck?

Runs fine on mine but it definitely runs it at a weird res and upscales to maintain performance

The default settings look pretty bad, but with some setting changes you can get it to look a lot better without sacrificing too much performance.
It’s not really the type of game that has to run at a solid 60 FPS or anything.

I love potatoes, also BG3 works fine on the deck?
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 day ago
Define “fine”. Is it playable? Sure. But it also looks quite bad at 800p/low/30fps

I don’t think looks bad at all

Ok 🤷

I can’t say I’ve ever cared about how a game looks.* Sure maybe it’s worth discussing, but it’s always the last thing on my list.
I played BG3 (Once, all the way, second time up to act 2) exclusively on my Steam Deck in handheld mode. Sure Act 3 has a little bit of lag, but nothing that ever bothered me. All the characters in the game were unique, I know Gale from Karlach from Lae’zel.

Fair enough. Certainly some devs spend a ton of time making games look incredible so there’s obviously a bunch of users like me who do appreciate that, and also many who don’t!

I wouldn’t say don’t.
If your game can’t look good on the lowest settings then there’s an art-direction problem.
