Steam Deck Frame Generation and optimization [Tips]

[evgeniysnik]

Hello guys. Want to share with you some tips about steam deck optimization. By default FSR Frame Game definitely broken on steam deck. But you can use Uniscaler11 mod to get smooth 50~ fps with pretty high graphical settings and no input lag.

After mod integration you can try next ingame settings:
1) VSync: Off
2) Dynamic Resolution Scale: 0ff
3) Upscale Method: AMD FSR3 (if you want to upscale) or Off (if you want to have clear image)
3.1) If you don't use FSR3 Upscale -> use AMD FSR3 Native AA
3.2) If you use FSR3 Upscale -> Use Upscale Quality: Balanced (for performance) or Quality (for image quality)
4) Texture: Medium (WARNING: never use high)
5) Texture Filtering: 16x
6) Shadow Quality: medium (or low if you want more stable fps)
7) Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
8) Screen Space Reflection: High
9) Level of Detail: High
10) Hair Quality: Medium
11) Terrain Quality: Medium (to enable tessellation)
12) Clouds Quality: Low
13) Translucency Quality: High Res
14) Parallax Occlusion Mapping: On
15) Field of View: -6
16) Depth of Field: High
17) Bloom: On
18) Motion Blur Strength: 0 (Warning: never use more than 0, if you use upscale)
19) Lense Flares: On
20) Fullscreen Effects: On
21) Vignette: On
22) Screen Space Shadows: On
23) Sharpness: 1 or any
24) HDR: Off (to avoid flickering)

Have a wonderful journey, outcasts!

No surprise. Why someone would be a PS5-tier remaster of a PS4 game than attempt to run on it on handheld weaker than the PS4, I've no idea. You're buying a remaster then degrading it to sub-og fidelity running at half the frame rate of the og game.

I just finished this game on Steam deck OLED had hair and textures on medium and all else on low and the fsr on and it was running 45-107fps

Did u try the mod he suggested in the OP post??? My above settings worked well and looked great.. They didn't require mods, or proton but I do use the ... button's GPU overclock in the lightning tab.... Most of those settings i could go without but it would be nice to have extra extra nice graphics....

Steam deck mod file location is annoying but it will definitely boost the fps a lot... usually it removes clutter and fogs but that one says it fixes the fsr to be more effective
