Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is "working great" or "perfectly". I believe I'm in the minority, but I just can't enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it's because I'm used to playing mainly on PC. Still enjoy my Steam Deck a lot though, even if it can't keep up sometimes.

Consistent 40 FPS is the absolute minimum in most games for me. 45 FPS is pretty ideal, 60 FPS is a bonus. 30 FPS is not really enjoyable to me since I notice the low framerate too much.

Exactly this for me as well... I will add the caveat that if I had to lower the native resolution to boost performance, upscale/FSR artifacting needs to be minimal and not mess with legibility. Some games look phenomenal upscaled (like, 99% as good as native resolution) and it's not an issue... others, not so much.

EDIT: phrasing, grammar is hard when typing I guess.

I can deal with somewhat blurry game if the UI is sharp. So games with built in upscaling are ideal but not very common sadly.
