Assassin's Creed Shadows is one of the worst optimized titles of the year, as it fails to run well natively on Nvidia RTX 5070Ti.

    (Didn’t play it yet and probably wouldn’t before big patches after a year or so, take me with a pinch of salt)

    I cannot understand how is this game rated Steam Deck compatible if it is badly optimized? Valhalla was fine on SD but it never had perf issues that bad on current/next-gen. Anyone tried it out on SD (or maybe another handheld)?

      The game have problems with NVIDIA specifically, coming from Ubisoft they probably only tried to optimized to AMD to get the Steam Deck Compatible badge before launch.

        I might be wrong, but hasn’t the 5000 series GPUs been having performance issues? Might that have something to do with it too?

          I’m aware of:

          • Unbalanced power over 12VHPWR by design, inducing some melting in some cases.
          • Missing ROPs on 5080.
          • 5070 not reaching 4090 performance levels because that was just a marketing lie.

          None of those really seem to apply. Were there any more?

            I think it was a combo of the ROP and 5090 not reaching 4090 performance levels is what I was thinking of now that you mention it. I was mistaken, my bad
