Is that in the newer DLC area? Because the other commenter in this thread is getting 60fps except the DLC area. Disclaimer, I don’t have the game, so I can’t help diagnose, just pointing out there might be an optimization or setting you could look into.
I’ll answer my own question, according to this article from April, its slightly more powerful, but then only comes with 12GB of ram instead of 16gb like the steamdeck, so who knows what actual performance will be.
@lemmy_user_838586 , Steamdeck is also powered by a full Linux distro + Steam + Proton/Wine (+ KDE Plasma) in many cases. Whereas Switch has a leaner custom BSD-based system.
There is definitely more overhead involved (mostly due to proton) but not as much as you might think. The Plasma session has no performance impact, because it isn’t running when you’re not in desktop mode. Being a “full Linix distro” really doesn’t affect the gaming performance.
@anyhow2503 , as an old Linux and KDE user, I totally agree with you. But a custom minimal UI optimised for the specific use case and hardware (and optimised kernel) will likely consume less RAM still.
So get a steamdeck?
Have one. That’s the crazily fluctuating framerate I was alluding to.

Idk if you’ve seen the digital foundry video but there are no settings on the steamdeck that make it perform comparably to the switch 2.
Steamdeck is far less powerful than the switch 2.
You got a source for that?

I’m looking forward to Valve releasing a more powerful Steam Deck in the coming years !
They probably will :)
They’re always good for a sequel
Probably wouldn’t hold my breath for a third one though.

We should be good for a while 😀
