UMA Frame Buffer Size 4G

God of War runs remarkably well right out of the box. This means you can dive into this unforgettable adventure without the need for extensive compatibility setting adjustments. The developers have done an excellent job ensuring a smooth gaming experience on this platform.

If you’re looking to further enhance your gameplay, there’s a subtle tweak you can make in the BIOS settings. Consider adjusting your UMA Frame Buffer Size to 4G. This adjustment provides your GPU with more headroom for handling textures, ultimately reducing stuttering when loading in new textures during gameplay.

Balanced Settings (720p@30fps | ~2h30m)

The goal here is to achieve a gaming experience as close to the original PlayStation 4 versionas possible. Our focus is on achieving a stable 30 frames per second with most settings set to their original values.

To kickstart this process, we begin by lowering the resolution while harnessing the power of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.2, allowing the game’s visuals to remain striking while ensuring smoother performance. Afterward, we delve into the Graphics and Display settings to make a few additional adjustments that fine-tune the balance between visual fidelity and performance.

These tweaks work like magic, giving us a gaming experience on the Steam Deck that’s remarkably close to a traditional console. Achieving this visual fidelity and performance on a handheld honestly feels like black magic.

Enjoy extended gaming sessions with 2.5 to 3 hours of playtime on a single charge.
