Pick a performance target first
Choose whether the session is about FPS, battery, or visual quality. Mixing all three goals makes every setting decision muddy.
- Use one route with traffic for repeat testing.
- Check rain, night, and dense scenery separately.
- Record battery behavior after a real play session.
Tune for weekly events
The most useful handheld setup is the one that survives weekly playlists, not only an empty-road benchmark.
- Test event starts and packed corners.
- Keep input latency predictable.
- Avoid settings that make car control harder.
Keep PC and handheld advice separate
PC guides can chase higher fidelity. Steam Deck pages should prioritize stable play and quick settings decisions.
- Link to PC settings for desktop users.
- Keep handheld notes short and testable.
- Update the page after patches change performance.
