Reply to comment by HellsMalice in Steam Deck now shipping across Asia, plus a new Steam Deck Stable Client update by thebelsnickle1991

>Might need to be on low settings for the big titles like Cyberpunk if you want to be closer to stable 60

The Deck is not capable of a stable 60 in Cyberpunk. Older games run great but I would tell people to expect a 30~40 cap on most modern titles.

Absolutely, I would say that Cyberpunk is not "playable" at native res. You can get to 30 sometimes but it's bad enough that it's not gonna be a good experience. By comparison Horizon Zero Dawn can get dips from 40fps but you'll still enjoy yourself.

The built-in Deck configuration for Cyberpunk does give me a pretty stable 30 which I would consider very playable! But I wasn't able to achieved a locked 60 even at 400p on the lowest possible settings.

I think a 30-40 target is perfectly fine for portable play but the post above was setting up potential buyers with unrealistic expectations. You won't be able to run games like Spider-Man, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring etc. at a stable 60 even if you drop the settings as low as they can possibly go.

So are the internal components upgradeable?

The storage is upgradeable but the rest of the system (CPU/GPU/RAM) is a single package.

I don't have my deck with me but doesn't the Steamdeck preset enable FSR? I found FSR turns game into mush at that resolution, especially Cyberpunk with its UI rendered in-world so I only play at native res.
