on steam deck it may not matter since D3D11 or 12 would then be forced to used Vulkan

Always DX11 for newer games + older builds.

DX12 eat old CPUs.

im sorry but that 2600k is bottle-necking that gtx 1080 jus saying the gpu percentage is very inconsistent and the cpu utilisation is really high which means the cpu is working too hard and the gpu can't do anything to help it.
