Spyro Re-Ignited Trilogy Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for Spyro Re-Ignited Trilogy: 

For Quality (60FPS):

• Medium Preset (Or Ultra for 30FPS)
• 15W TDP
• Expect about 2 Hours of Battery Life

For Battery Life (30FPS):

• Low Preset
• 5W TDP
• Expect about 4 Hours of Battery Life

You could run the game at Ultra, 30FPS perfectly well. However for a platformer, I prefer to run at Medium, 60FPS.

Space Engineers Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for Space Engineers: 

To Run at 30FPS:

• Low (Shadows & Post-Processing Disabled)
• 15W TDP
• Expect 110 Minutes of Battery Life

We do not recommend this game for Steam Deck, the controls are difficult to use given the complexity of the game's UI, and stuttering is ever-present, even if the averages can hold 30FPS on low settings.

Our test on high settings resulted in the Steam Deck crashing, including the OS, requiring a hard-reset of the system.

We recommend disabling shadows anyway, as the game does have issues with integrated GPU's resulting in shadows flickering. The same happens on AMD G-Series processors.

About the Game: 

Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses, pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather resources to survive.

Divinity: Original Sin II Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for Divinity: Original Sin II: 

Recommended Settings: 

Given the gameplay, we recommend Ultra settings for Steam Deck users. The game runs generally in the 50's, and never drops below 30FPS. The game is perfectly enjoyable at these levels. Dropping to Medium ensures a constant 60FPS. There is no advantage to Low settings as the CPU becomes the bottleneck at this point.

Minor stuttering through-out on every setting, given the type of game however, it's hard to notice.

About the Game: 

The critically acclaimed RPG that raised the bar, from the creators of Baldur's Gate 3. Gather your party. Master deep, tactical combat. Venture as a party of up to four - but know that only one of you will have the chance to become a God.

BattleBit Remastered Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for BattleBit Remastered: 

Recommended Settings: 

The game mostly runs at 60FPS or close to when on Ultra settings, stutters when opening the map or scoreboards. Can drop into the 50's in intense moments. High is recommended for a very smooth experience that will be fine for most players.

There is a community layout for controls on Steam that is optimized for the Steam Deck, takes a bit of getting used to, but it works fine once you are.

About the Game: 

BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, massive multiplayer FPS, supporting 254 players per server. Battle on a near-fully destructible map with various vehicles!

Rocket League Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for Rocket League: 

Recommended Settings: 

Quality with SMAA On ensures an almost constant 60FPS on at least the majority of maps. We didn't test any settings lower than quality as any extra gains in performance would have minimal effect on the playing experience. High Quality frequently dips into the 50's, and therefore we don't recommend it for competitive play.

About the Game: 

Rocket League is a high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem with easy-to-understand controls and fluid, physics-driven competition.

Civilization VI Benchmarks (Steam Deck)

Here are the benchmark results for Civilization VI: 

Recommended Settings: 

High Settings, given the nature of the game, 30FPS is adequate for a decent playing experience.

Benchmarks taken from the in-game benchmark test, which takes place fairly far into the game, so performance should stay close to 30FPS even on High.

Ultra resulted in a crash to desktop, so we don't recommend trying those settings.

About the Game: 

Civilization VI is the newest installment in the award winning Civilization Franchise. Expand your empire, advance your culture and go head-to-head against history’s greatest leaders. Will your civilization stand the test of time?
