Crusader Kings 3 | Steam Deck (OLED) Performance Test | Low vs Medium vs High + Optimal Settings

#crusaderkings3 #steamdeck #performance #performancetest
I compare the performance of various presets on the Steam Deck OLED for Crusader Kings 3.
For this video I just tested the Medium and Low Preset, because when I selected the high preset, the game just crashed the whole Steam Deck and I had to restart.
For the medium preset, the FPS is very inconsistent, fluctuating between 25 and 60 FPS. Also, the GPU is always at 99% load, which means the battery life won't be very long.
Thats why I choose the low preset with a maximum FPS of 30 as my go-to setting. The GPU is not always at 99% load, which gives you a much longer battery life. There are sometimes dips to about 20 FPS, but you can still play the game normally.
What do you think? Do you want to play Crusader Kings 3 on the Steam Deck? And with what graphical settings?
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

How does the game run at late game with 867 start? Also are you using CryoUtilites in this? I usually start lagging pretty bad around year 1000, I'll try these settings thanks.

Hey. So at the start in 867 the game runs mostly the same as in the video. No, I didn't use CryoUtilites here. But maybe this could help if it lags around year 1000.
