Final Thoughts

We optimized the above settings using the right combination of Low, Medium, and High values. They are specifically tuned for the Steam Deck.

You must also enable the Manual GPU Clock and set it to 1600 MHz for the best results. The game will finally run at a stable 30 FPS without looking like total garbage.
