The game is fun, but I would definitely not say that it runs great. It's runs at a bare minimum 30fps with low/medium settings and dips below 30. The FSR implementation is awful and basically unusable - it blurs your character beyond recognition. I have to use the Deck's frame limiter and FSR to get it to run decently. The game is not well optimized.
But as I said, the game is cool. Worth a play if you like rpgs.
To be fair, it's not the type of game that requires high framerates to play.
I mean, it's not a visual novel. It has action, cutscenes. I'd say 30fps is bare minimum for me.
What settings are good for BG3? I just got it and am wondering how best to tweak it
That's disappointing. Haven't tested it on the deck yet as I'm waiting for new screen to arrive. It runs great on my moderate gaming PC with a 6600xt. Runs at 1080p ultra and hovers between 100 and 120fps. Usually closer to 120.
Moderate gaming PC? My PC can't even hit a consistent 60FPS at the lowest settings! But all the upgrade parts seem expensive...
