Lowering settings to “Low” on the Steam Deck doesn’t result in significant visual degradation, thanks to the device’s smaller screen size. This allows for smoother performance without drastically affecting the visual experience.
These settings should provide you with a solid 60 FPS indoors and around 50 FPS outdoors on average. While minor FPS drops may occur when changing locations, the performance should stabilize quickly.
For more demanding maps like Chongqing or Miami, expect an average of 45 FPS in outdoor, open-space areas, especially where intensive CPU loads occur due to NPCs or complex lighting. However, this slight dip in performance shouldn’t be a major issue for most of your gameplay.
Recommended Settings:
• Fullscreen Resolution: 1280x800
• Display Mode: Fullscreen
• V-Sync: Off
• AMD FSR: Off
• Resolution Scale: 1.00
• Level of Detail: Medium
• Texture Quality: High
• SSAO: Minimum
• Shadow Quality: Low
• Mirrors Reflection Quality: Low
• Reflection Quality: Low
• Variable Rate Shading: Off
• Motion Blur: Off
• Simulation Quality: Best
If you experience frame drops in more demanding maps or areas that impact your gameplay, consider the following adjustments to improve performance:
• Enable FSR 2
• Toggle Variable Rate Shading to Performance/Ultra Performance
• Lower the Simulation Quality
Keep in mind that these changes will enhance FPS at the cost of lower overall display quality.
