Rationale

This guide assumes that you strive for the best visual quality, while not compromising on a rock solid 60fps experience. It also assumes that you purely play in portable handheld mode, rather than hooking up to an external display.

With some tweaking to a few settings, you can probably maintain similar quality at a higher resolution like full 1080p, but that has not been tested by me.

The following settings report to give 2-3 hours based on the overlay metric, but of course varies. (Original LCD Steam Deck, newer OLED models will last longer.)

In Game Settings

As stated in the Rationale, we're looking for the best visuals while keeping 60fps. This is a herculean task, and impossible outright for some games. This one's impressive, and it actually runs surprisingly well. You don't need the full whack of what the Steam Deck can provide.

Graphics Settings :

Resolution :

1280x800

Screen Mode :

Fullscreen

VSync :

Framerate :

60fps

Model Quality :

High

Shadow Quality :

High

Anti-Aliasing :

FXAA (TSR is unfriendly to the LCD model, but fine on OLED.)

Reflection :

Low (On OLED Models, this can be set to HIGH without issue.)

Ambient Occlusion :

High

Rendering Scale :

100% (100% of 1280x800 = 1280x800)

Blur :

Off (For visual clarity while boosting around the map!)

Steam Deck Settings

You can't just set a game to a certain quality and just stop there, we can do some further optimisations to increase battery life, or reduce frametime variance.

Power Tab -> Performance Settings

Performance Overlay Level :

To preference. (0-2 is very safe due to black bars on top/bottom.)

Use per-game profile :

Frame Limit :

60fps (LCD Deck, 90fps on OLED untested!)

Disable Frame Limit :

Off

Allow Tearing :

Off

Half Rate Shading :

Off

TDP Limit :

On, Set to 9 Watts. (Lower causes clocks to drop and reduce FPS.)

Manual GPU Clock :

Off (If enabled, set to 1100-1200Mhz. This reduces some cases of variable frametimes.)

Scaling Mode :

Auto

Scaling Filter :

Linear

Happy Racing!

Now that you've tuned your handheld to be a well performing machine, go out and show the world that you're The Ultimate (Racing) Lifeform!

@Rai I already know you're on an OLED Steam Deck, and the guide is built around the original LCD model, which does have minor performance differences in a way that matters for this game.

Rai 21 nov @ 20:44

bro what... game runs at 60fps full 1280x800 res and everything on high... just use FXAA instead of TSR, no need for a whole guide lmao

Works great for me, thanks! The default settings are straight up criminal, from looking awful (even as someone who isn't a total graphics snob the default Steam Deck settings genuinely look atrocious) to RUNNING awful, not even able to hit 30fps consistently. These settings actually helped, the game looks nice and it actually hits a very consistent 60fps most of the time.

I 'think' i got it. Thanks!

@Whisper the Wolf what do you mean by restarting it?

Whisper The Wolf [skapare] 25 okt @ 9:08

@King Flamurice

You -may- need to give it a little more TDP, only 1-2 watts more though.

Since I don't have an OLED, I can't confirm anything, but I have noticed the occasional slowdown ingame. It seems to be uncommon and quite situational in my experience, and giving it a ton more resources doesn't resolve it. I recommend restarting the game at the earliest convenience, since that fixes it for me. We are having to run it through Proton after all.

Good luck!

I have an OLED and i'm experiencing visable slowdown. How is that? I assumed i just missed something but i looked at my current setttings and matched this one.

Worked perfectly for me thanks for this

Whisper The Wolf [skapare] 6 okt @ 8:31

@Doggydude You'd be surprised what memory speed can do to determine one's performance. (The only difference between OLED and LCD, 6400Mhz vs 5500Mhz. I believe this to be the main limit for this game, rather than the CPU or GPU.)

Either or, I'll leave a note saying Reflections and Antialiasing should be left on, or at least to taste for OLED users.

Doggydude 6 okt @ 7:30

@whisperthewolf The OLED has negliable gains in performance over the LCD model. Absolutely no drops with the settings I said. The LCD model should be the same.
