New World Aeternum, the MMORPG title, is a fantastic title to play on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and others.

Therefore, they can’t handle the CPU load required for playing New World Aeternum.

However, with some optimization, we can turn the tide around and make New World Aeternum run at 60 FPS on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and others. Read on to learn more.

The Steam features a custom AMD chip, which has only four CPU cores, making it quite a limiting factor in this game. On the other hand, the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go are equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z-series chip.

The only exception is MSI Claw, which has an Intel chip. Nonetheless, they are all quite similar in performance. Therefore, the same settings apply to them. Here are all the best optimized settings to achieve 60 FPS:

Note: The settings provided below are for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw and shouldn’t be used for other handhelds.

Final Optimizations

After applying the above settings, you must make one more change, depending on the model. On the Steam Deck, you must also enable the Manual GPU Clock and set the slider to 1600 MHz for the best results.

On other handhelds, enable Performance or Extreme mode to achieve full 25W or 30W, depending on the maximum capacity available. These tweaks will allow the handhelds to deliver a stable 60 FPS without frame drops.
