“Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure RPG set in the dark future of Night City — a dangerous megalopolis obsessed with power, glamor, and ceaseless body modification.”

NOTES: FSR 3.0 in the video is incorrectly labelled as FSR 3.1 in my benchmarks, this is due to a misunderstanding on my part and it’s quite weird why they implemented FSR 3.1 Frame Generation but not the upscaler FSR 3.1 either since it is far superior to FSR 3.0.

In addition, Frame Generation seems to not be working at all on the Steam Deck from my testing and provided worse performance, so modding the game is likely better for now if you want Frame Gen.

Performance overall is a little disappointing and it feels like a step backwards, I made sure to do a fresh fully updated SteamOS install before this test just to make sure everything was performed under default and fresh conditions.

Please stay tuned for more videos coming very soon.
