Perhaps I didn’t do enough research into the expected performance for some beefier titles that i have in my library, but why is 30FPS the norm?!

Seems like people set the bar for whether a game runs well on deck or not to be 30FPS. That’s ridiculous… 30FPS is peasantry. Aren’t we PC gamers?!

    You’re talking about a handheld device that uses like 25W of power??? We’re you expecting 4090 performance from a handheld?

    If you think that steam deck is not a console to play at 30 fps and you hate 30 fps, let me tell you that you made the wrong purchase, and no, stable 30 fps except in shooters is not as horrible as you want to make it seem. Alan Wake 2 in quality mode at 30 fps stable on PS5 and I have played many next gen games like this and it is enjoyed perfectly, “I am not a peasant” and I do not suffer, only a fanatic and a PC fanboy would say that he cannot play at 30 fps and it must not be tolerable, good luck with that then

    Well

    30fps was pretty common before 2010

    it’s always been common on consoles from like 1990 to 2020

    it is ultra common on Switch

    this is why I just don’t play the newest games on it unless they are properly optimized like Lies of P. a majority of games made will run at 60fps on steam deck but nobody should expect it to run most new games well.

    Bro I grew up playing single-digit-fps 3D games and loved it.

    I was walking uphill 15 miles the entire time too!

    I’m not really a PC gamer. I hope that valve will do the steamdeck right and go the console like direction.
