Have been playing Elden Ring a lot on the Deck and it was a pretty great experience already, mostly 30fps but some bad stuttering and frame drops in certain areas of the map on high but still very playable.
The game feels waaaay smoother now and the few drops I experienced were extremely minor. Super ACTUAL rock solid 30fps. I even got stable 40fps in a dungeon.
In addition, because of the SMT fix, the annoying frame pacing issues on GameCube and Wii games is now completely gone. Mario kart Wii was especially bad, now 100% perfect from what I can tell.
Post the improvements you’ve noticed!

Yeah I’ve been running 3.5 since years of the Kingdom came out
Yeah. Been playing tales of arise and it amazes me how the framepacing has improved a lot.
What fps and graphical settings are you getting now? Getting my deck in a few weeks and this is the first game I want to play
I remember reading something on sd card mounting points change in 3.5. Will i have to do anything about it after upgrade? Most of my games are on sd
Lol, I literally finally changed to the preview branch last night
In my case, the “performance boost” was so remarkable that it destroyed the whole system. Like being stuck at 87% for hours, and then deciding to commit suicide on the next restart. Yep, 3.5.5 is the worst update ever. All my data is gone. It completely destroyed the system, so not even the SteamOS backup entries worked for me.
Is this the same one that has been in the main beta channel? I’ll have to check for updates. My version says 3.6.
Played some Forza horizon 5 for 20 mins last night and played great, other day kept crashing
So mix updates and overall dev optimization, the Decks potentially a real game changer compared to the big 3.
How is Starfield on 3.5 with crypt utilities? Anyone try it yet?
I think they fixed the shader cache
Mini Ninja’s now projects up to 6:20h of battery life instead of up to 4:30h. That’s quite a change. Seems like a far more consistent 60fps all around too.
I was kinda bummed about the OLED coming out. Now that 3.5 is out and color boost was added I’ll hold off buying it. Keep up the good work Stream.
Is 3.5 formally out now?
Halls of Torment performed a decent amount better in the late stages of a run. Still room for improvement though.
As a complete noob that’s trying to learn more about the Deck and its features, can someone explain to me what the 3.5 performance boost is and/or how to implement it into my Deck?
