So I'm 0-1 so far (Samsung-screened SD OLED). Tried Baldur's Gate 3 with a large variety of settings, it either crashed upon boot or booted with no video.
I know it's a DX11 game so it rarely agrees with tools like this, but I was hoping, lol. If I try anything else, I'll edit this same post so as not to take over the thread.
EDIT: OMG. Make that 1-1. It was user error, I'd accidentally slid the files into the folder next door instead of the plugins folder.
After fixing it, I booted it up and... WOW. I already had BG3 set to 720p Balanced, after doing the x3 multiplier (because who cares about input lag in this game) I'm now up into the 75 to 90 FPS range.
This is absolutely NUTS, I've never consistently gotten more than 30 on the Deck on this game. What a game changer, at least for non-action games. Will have to see how bad the input lag feels on action titles, but just speeding up modern/slower RPGs alone is a big, big thing.
