I think I’ve found some pretty good settings to run Teardown for around four or more hours on the steam deck. These setting aren’t prefect and start to crumble when there’s a lot going on but for most circumstances it works pretty well, maybe share your insight in the comments.
Settings changed in the Steam UI
- Turn off framerate limiting and set the refresh rate to 40
- Turn Half Rate Shading on
- Turn the TDP limit to 10 watts
- Turn the GPU Clock Frequency to 1100 MHz
Settings changed in the Options > Graphics tab
These settings don’t look much different from the games default on the deck while keeping to that 4+ hours of gameplay.
- Set render scale to 75%
- Set render quality to Low (surprisingly doesn’t make the game look terrible)
- Set Vertical sync to Adaptive (this is why we set the refresh rate to 40)
