Steam Deck | 5 Tips For Better Battery Life + Performance

how you get twisted metal on the steam deck

I bought a used steam deck yesterday, extremely happy with it. But i was playing spiderman and it died so quick 😭 leade to this video hope these tips help me

Genius comparing FSR on resolution that is 1:1 screen pixels 🤦‍♂️

damn, water is indeed wet, who knew?

@VicariousNick I have a weird question? Do you know approx. how long the Deck battery would last if it was on idle mode on lowest brightness and no wifi connected/airplane mode off?

Trying to download a game but I have slow hotspot and I don't want to turn off my Deck when I leave house or the download will restart.

I just need this to play modded Stardew valley lol

I was wondering if it would save battery for streaming through steam from a PC to the deck? I tried moonlight and my internet sucks (I think) and there was a lot of stuttering.

Tonight Ii am going to test streaming from my PC to my deck. The only problem I have with my battery is with Jedi Fallen Order. Every other game doesn't burn through my battery at all (running off the deck).

Fallen order, It seems like I burn 25% of the battery per 30mins or so

Soooo stoked for this thing, mine comes in two days 🎉

For the past week since i bought my steam deck, what I only do is keep on tinkering on it and it's satisfying for me 😂

Great information man am still waiting for my steam deck 😃

Only thing I didn’t like was the wreck fest thing at the end where it was on an hour and 40 but your claiming doing every tip from start to finish you would get over 3 hours but never actually showed that massive jump

These videos make me want to buy this immediately

I know this ain't the the topic of the video but is there anyway way to play black OPPS 3 on the rpcs3 emulator using the steam deck i cant pass the screen that ask for an update

I already do some of the stuff mentioned in the video on my steam deck 😶

I am not sure that footage was 1280x800... it had black bars on the top and bottom like 720p does because 720p is the wrong aspect ratio for that screen. I would prefer (if the game supports) to go all the way down to 960x600, and then FSR helps a lot, and you are giving it a nice performance boost, along with using less GPU/power.

Can you link protective stickers? I went to the unboxing video, but didn't see it.

I'm ordering my Steam Deck in a few days. I only plan on playing Quake (with Quakespasm) and Brutal Doom (with GZDoom) on this thing for the most part, as well as a few Retroarch games. So hopefully I'm able to get 6 hours of life out of this thing and I'll be happy. Thanks for the tips!

If you get a constant 40fps... change the TDP as well so you're gpu/cpu doesn't over work too, you'll get an extra 30-45+ mins.

Do you know how to turn on FSR on cyberpunk? I tried everything and it still says it's off

Great tips & tricks and video, love my steam deck😃👌

I go back and forth on getting this which would mean selling my Xbox series x and accessories to get it I do have a PS5. That's how I wld fund it and feel ok doin it. However I swear everyone who owns this uses the excuses to get better battery life tone all the settings down. And they also get offended when ppl like me state that this handheld should of came out at its best with better battery life. People need to make their games look worse and not utilize this machine to it's fullest potential in order to play AAA games for more then 90 minutes or stayed plugged in. Yet want to knock the switch lol. It's like yea the switch may get less graphics but it can be played truly portable for 4 to 5 hrs at a time on most any game for 2nd gen model and the oled model anyways. Your paying all this money for a portable handheld that you cannot run it at its best potential because if you do you get terrible battery life. Makes me not want to get it.

FSR also supports 540p and I believe 480p.
