I'm sorry but with nvidia nis the game looks like a blurry mess. It looks like cheap ai made it. Fsr 2.0 is definitely the best option if you want visual clarity.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support and am thrilled to hear that you found the video helpful. Your feedback means a lot!
Used DLSS Mod Enabler with setting low except texture at high. got me 50-60ish fps. quick access setting set at 60/60 fps, tdp auto, and gpu limit at 1000Mhz. got me 2 hour - almost 3 hour. didnt feel any input lag or im just not sensetive to it. but duel is smooth and fast paced. easy to get perfect block. played on hard.

Same here. These settings made my Steam Deck crash (black screen). I just reset it to default (i.e. my previous settings), and let's see if it crashes again!
@@nespppp I reached out to Valve and they had me do a BIOS reset. I played fine for about 20 more hours. Then it crashed again. Reset again, its been fine. It's almost like my deck has a glitch where it crashes with every 20 hours of gameplay. 🤔 Because it was crashing all my games.

You can play the game at maximum settings with a mostly solid 30fps. 30fps is fine. Anything more is just pure greed Turn down shadow quality and AA for even better stability and battery/playtime. Shadow quality has little to no effect on visuals, but is one of the most demanding settings in any game I'd also recommend using an external cooling system for AAA games. Anything above 75C is too much for any hardware I'd also recommend not buying handhelds for AAA gaming. You can buy consoles or Mini PCs for the same price and get so much more out of them. It's not like you won't be tethered to the wall anyways Errything else in this vidya is quite useful info. Especially with the MHz chart
75 degrees is too much ? Valve themselves said the deck will perform optimally up to 95 degrees. And the apu is rated for up to 100-105. You can’t expect any of these handhelds to stay under 80 degrees unless you expect them to only play indie games or run evry AAA game at 30 fps

Im so glad I didnt buy one of those crappy steam decks, before they come out they claimed at least I was told it would play any steam game at 60fps. So glad I got my 5 dollar refund back because this is god awful on all 3 settings. You did well to get it working, but at that Im still glad I didn't purchase this system.

If the steam deck is crappy because it doesn't get 60 fps in every game by that logic the ps5 and Xbox series x are dog shit because Gotham knights red fall dragons dogma 2 starfield and some other games are locked to 30 fps and most games on ps5 and Xbox series x have to be played in performance mode to get over 30fps, steam deck is slightly more powerful than a ps4 pro, I've got Hogwarts running at 70 fps on my steam deck but the frame times were trash and I had to make it look like a ps1 game and play in 480p resolution, it wasn't worth it to play like that, 30 fps on a AAA game from 2023 on a handheld is great, atomic heart also released in 2023 gets like 70 frames on the steam deck and looks great, dying light 2 after optimizing I get an average of 55 fps and it looks great, honestly how is the steam deck crappy?
You probably shouldn't talk about what a Steam Deck is all about unless you tried one by yourself... Nobody sane wants a AAA running at 60 fps at a high level of graphics on the Deck, but being able to play pretty much any PC title wherever you want, with a quality somewhere in the PS4 field (excepted for the resolution), if not better, with a good screen (especially the OLED) and decent autonomy, it's priceless. If you want like a handeld PS5 in the 200-600$ range, then, keep on dreaming.
A solid 30 FPS is perfect for me, man, this is great stuff.

The ghosting is pretty horrible though

Use the settings he said but change it to FSR 2 and FSR Quality 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 removes the bluriness
Cap a setting is always the most stable option. FPS cap, power limit. This helps to avoid throttling, better temperatures and consistency.
AWESOME WORK DUDE. Thanks.
Thanks man, I am still surprised how can Cyberpunk 2077 be more optimized for a Steam Deck than Hogwartz
Great video, I was able to get higher frame rates using my own optimization but the frame time was just horrible with my OG settings
Man, I've tried to lower the GPU clock to 1300 mHz my gtx 1650 laptop and it works like a charm !!! Thanks
Thanks! Big help, i hope they update to fsr 3
Thank you so much!!!
Input lag is so bad on this when you set the fps limit through steam overlay. If you set it ingame you get stutters…

When I did the settings in the start I got 60 fps
You can get 60 fps, but then it dips and fluctuates, by locking the Steam Deck to 40Hz you remove the fluctuations and get more battery life.
