How to Increase FPS in Games & Performance on Steam Deck using Windows 11 (Fortnite Tutorial)
1To increase FPS and improve performance on your Steam Deck running Windows 11, here are some effective steps you can follow:
1. Adjust Windows Settings for Performance
Disable Background Apps: Go to Settings - Privacy - Background apps and turn off apps running in the background that you don't need.
Power Plan: Set Windows to a high-performance power plan. Go to Settings - System - Power & Sleep - Additional power settings and select "High Performance."
Disable Visual Effects: Reduce visual effects for better performance. Go to System Properties- Performance Options, and choose "Adjust for best performance."
2. Optimize In-Game Settings
Lower Graphics Settings: Reduce the resolution, texture quality, and shadow details in games. Lowering these settings can drastically improve FPS.
Limit Frame Rate: Set a frame rate cap that matches the Steam Deck's refresh rate to avoid unnecessary strain on the GPU.
Turn Off V-Sync: Disabling V-Sync can prevent input lag and potentially improve FPS.
3. Update Drivers and Windows
Install the Latest GPU Drivers: Make sure you have the latest AMD drivers installed, as they include optimizations for gaming on Steam Deck.
Windows Updates: Keep Windows up-to-date with the latest patches and updates.
4. Disable Unnecessary Windows Services
Turn Off Xbox Game Bar: Go to Settings - Gaming - Xbox Game Bar and disable it, as it can consume resources.
Disable Startup Programs: Open the Task Manager, go to the Startup tab, and disable any unnecessary startup programs.
5. Use Performance-Enhancing Software
AMD Radeon Software: Use the built-in tools for performance monitoring and tweaking available in AMD’s Radeon Software, such as Radeon Chill, which can help balance performance and power usage.
Windows Game Mode: Enable Game Mode in Windows 11, which optimizes the system for gaming by reducing background processes.
6. Overclocking
GPU Overclocking: If you are comfortable with overclocking, you can use tools like MSI Afterburner to slightly increase your GPU clock speed. However, be cautious as this can cause overheating.
7. Thermal Management
Improve Cooling: Make sure your Steam Deck has proper airflow. Consider using an external cooling pad or fan to help manage heat.
Undervolting: This advanced technique can help reduce the heat generated by the CPU and GPU, leading to better performance over time. It requires specific tools and knowledge of safe voltage levels.
8. Upgrade Storage (Optional)
SSD Over HDD: If your Steam Deck has a slower storage device, upgrading to a faster SSD can improve game load times and overall system responsiveness.
9. Optimize Steam Settings
Enable Steam Overlay FPS Counter: Go to Steam Settings - In-Game, and enable the FPS counter to monitor your performance.
Disable Steam Overlay: If you’re not using it, disabling the Steam Overlay can sometimes boost performance.
