Is there a database for listing which games run on Steam Deck at what FPS and what settings?
Protondb has user reports that (usually) include performance stats and settings, as well as any additional setup like launch options or specific preferred proton versions.
I also check Valve’s own “top 100 played on steam deck” list to see what other people are rockin, always surprised to see shit like Fallout 4 on there.
Fallout probably got a boost from the new series, that was quite well received.
It definitely did . So did New Vegas. I know I fired up New Vegas again.
I have yet to run into any game through Steam that really doesn't work. Even ones listed as incompatible, or having issues.
I'm having a lot of fun chilling in the couch playing Civ 6.
then you haven't tried many lol
Thanks to Humble Monthly I have over 400 games on my Steam account.
In just the last three weeks I've played No Man's Sky, Worms WMD, Civ 6, Bravery and Greed, Darkest Dungeon, Warframe and just today LEGO 2K Drive.
And that's not counting emulation.
If you're complaining that some AAA games don't work, that's because AAA games have sucked for the past 5 or so years. Starfield, Jedi Survivor, Cyberpunk all still struggle to run nicely on even the best hardware out there. Not a problem with the Deck, but rather the state of the industry.
I'm curious about the emulation on Steam Deck. Which emulator run well enough to play daily? Can it run Switch emulator at 30fps, or specifically Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
I use Yuzu through EmuDeck. Even with Nintendo having given the crunch on Yuzu it's still my preferred emu and can run almost anything with little to ko flaws.
Those are all the Switch games I've played, but I'm also playing, and have played other emulated games:
The two games I'm playing through RPCS3 work best by setting the resolution to 75% native and turning on 50% FSR in the emulator's graphics settings. It looks better and runs better that way, as opposed to using the native resolution.
Thank you so much.
With the sale going on, the 512GB OLED is almost double the price of the 512GB LCD. Do you think it's worth the money? Personally what would you recommend?
I bought a certified refurbished 512 GB LCD model. This was shortly before the OLED version came out. You can get a lot of games to run 4 hours on it, longer if the game hardly challenges the Deck.
Other games just juice the Deck like a lemon.
Games like Worms WMD last a very long time on the Deck.
No Man's Sky lasts 4-ish hours, though perhaps a little under 4 hours.
Civ 6 sucks the battery dry in less than 2 hours, but with tweaking some settings now lasts 4 hours.
Phoenix Point runs well but drinks battery power like an alcoholic, lasting only an hour.
Switch games emulated through Yuzu can last a surprisingly long time. I've managed to play Breath of the Wild for nearly 4 hours.
All in all I would say the LCD model is not a bad choice at all. However, if you can afford the OLED model, I'd recommend getting that one; it's exactly like my model in performance, except better in a few areas. The battery is bigger and lasts much longer. The screen looks gorgeous being an OLED. Valve has made opening the Deck easier, for maintenance and modification purposes.
