If you’re playing the new version of Resident Evil 4 on the Steam Deck, you’ll want to use this setting to get the most out of your battery life and get the best performance out of your device. The first thing you should do is reduce all graphics settings to minimum. This will still deliver solid performance with a stable 30 FPS and hardly any stutter outside of heavier action sequences.
We also recommend limit the game to 30 FPS as it will provide the most stable experience, allowing you to avoid stutters and wrongful deaths. You can limit it to 40 FPS, but the game will need to be rendered a lot before you get that smooth and stable experience that you can get right out of the box with 30 FPS. You should try to launch the game with your TDP limit set to 8 as it will extend your battery life and give you around three hours to play before you need to recharge it again.
