When I tried playing 2077, BG, or Elden Ring they basically ran like they were on a Potato. I’m surprised anyone could do anything playable on those games.

Check if framegen is on. BG3 randomly turned it on and it ran like a potato and looked horrible

you might need to tweak your settings, man.

Elden Ring is the only one I have extensive experience with, and it ran great on the Deck.

Do you have a SteamDeck OLED? Maybe try BG again, for a lot of this year I had problems with it too mostly around HDR. Then I tried again this fall after a substantial bug fix and it ran great. Just a little stuttering loading assets once in a while.

I got Elden Ring to run at stable 40fps which was fine for me, but I can see how folks wouldn't accept that.

Yeah I’m happy to have a Playstation 5 alongside my Steam Deck for demanding games like Cyberpunk.
