Is performance in some games worse than steam os?

On my Oled, installed using normal installer mode as someone else recommended. In Lies of P, I rerun the same route over and over and notice almost a 10fps decrease compared to steam os. Also noticed more drops in the benchmark for Forza 5. Is this to be expected and should I just wait for more updates ?

Not expected, Forza Horizon 5 is the same for me on my OLED.

I've noticed this during some play tests. The Last Remnant seemed to have run slightly worse on the same TDP limits when compared to me playing on my Steam Deck OLED

Might not be the best video but top is the Ally X Bottom is the Steam Deck OLED Both running at a TDP limit of 11w Both have the exact same settings and resolution But the Ally X has large drops into the 40’s during the cutscenes while the OLED stays at a 60 consistent

hmm, your frametime is all over the place and neither the CPU nor GPU are maxed out so it's not a hardware bottleneck -- what are your settings in QAM?

my guess is your TDP limit you cannot expect 1:1 performance between the deck and ally X at the same TDP especially under 15W also explains why the frames are dropping despite not being maxed out

Ally X Plugged in Although I’m guessing it’s bc it’s the power governor set to performance when compared to battery

Ah right, shucks Guessing its probably due to the SD's chip being more efficient at those low watts
