Got any particular games you'd like tested? I got mine in yesterday, and I've got a pretty big library of games to throw at it.
I'd love to see how Expedition 33 performs. The deck was fine if graphics were turned waaaaay down, but I'd love a couch experience with nice visuals.
I just did some testing.
The game ran a quick benchmark and set stock settings of 1080p, medium preset, FSR scaling, and quality scaling mode to yield a steady 60 fps with about 70% GPU usage. Frame generation was enabled, but there was enough horsepower for it to not actually be used. The picture was a bit grainy however.
With both FSR scaling and frame generation disabled still at medium and 1080p, it'll play around 45 fps.
I would say the optimal settings are close to stock, but you'll want to upgrade from FSR 3 to FSR 4 released recently on Proton Experimental. This will probably be unnecessary later when FSR 4 gets rolled into the regular Proton releases. The game looked much less grainy with this.
To do this, on the Steam page for the game, you'll want to go to Settings (the gear icon) > Properties > Compatibility > enable "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" > Proton Experimental. Do note the settings in game are currently hard coded to say FSR 3, so you won't see it mention running on 4.
There's probably more tweaking that can be done, but that's kind of getting away from the point of this thing. I have a beefy PC and would still be happy to play it as above.
Sweet, thanks for checking/testing. Now I just have to wait for my number to be called. 😂
Nice. I already have that one. I'll check it out in a few resolution/settings configurations later tonight.
