Historical GamersNexus Steam Deck OLED test batch. The video was originally published February 23, 2024 and the written review followed April 4, 2024; the exact hardware test date was not published. Tested on the Steam Deck OLED 1TB on battery at 1280 × 720 using Vulkan and the upper-end Favor Performance preset, with no upscaling. All framerate caps were disabled and tearing was allowed. The matching chart reports 53.0 FPS average, 36.9 FPS 1% low and 33.1 FPS 0.1% low. The Steam Deck used its stock power management; the source lists a 4–15W APU range but does not report a fixed per-test wattage. Exact per-option settings, VRAM allocation, SteamOS build, capture tool, capture duration and run count remain unavailable. This is an older, separate test batch and not a September 2026 retest.

Historical GamersNexus Steam Deck OLED test batch. The video was originally published February 23, 2024 and the written review followed April 4, 2024; the exact hardware test date was not published. Tested on the Steam Deck OLED 1TB on battery at 1280 × 720 using the Low preset with FSR Quality. All framerate caps were disabled and tearing was allowed. The matching chart reports 45.8 FPS average, 37.4 FPS 1% low and 34.0 FPS 0.1% low; the article also provides a frametime chart for this workload. The Steam Deck used its stock power management; the source lists a 4–15W APU range but does not report a fixed per-test wattage. Graphics API, exact FSR version, per-option settings, VRAM allocation, SteamOS build, capture tool, capture duration and run count remain unavailable.

Notebookcheck Highest profile, 1920 × 1080, 4x MSAA + FXAA, 16x anisotropic filtering. Standard gaming benchmark on an EXTERNAL MONITOR, not the Deck's 1280 × 800 internal display. Exact unit: Valve Steam Deck 1 TB OLED, Steam Deck OLED APU / Radeon 8CU, 16 GB RAM, SteamOS. The review's testing conditions specify a maximum 15W APU budget (15W sustained / short burst); this is a power limit, not measured total system draw.

Test route: Publisher standard GTA V benchmark; external display
SETTINGS: Notebookcheck Highest profile, 1920 × 1080, 4x MSAA + FXAA, 16x anisotropic filtering. Standard gaming benchmark on an EXTERNAL MONITOR, not the Deck's 1280 × 800 internal display. Exact unit: Valve Steam Deck 1 TB OLED, Steam Deck OLED APU / Radeon 8CU, 16 GB RAM, SteamOS. The review's testing conditions specify a maximum 15W APU budget (15W sustained / short burst); this is a power limit, not measured total system draw. Historical result: Marc Herter's English review was published February 15, 2024. The GTA V comparison chart and results table report 19.5 FPS for this exact OLED unit; both the chart heading and result were visually checked. This is the original 2015 PC release, now catalogued as GTA V Legacy, not GTA V Enhanced. The documented rendering path uses MSAA/FXAA, not a DLSS/FSR or frame-generation mode; external scaling/modifications are not documented. The result is the publisher's benchmark FPS result, not an instantaneous OSD reading or an FPS cap. It is not a current playability or GTA Online compatibility claim. The reviewer could not install FPS logging tools including MangoHud, so no capture tool or lows are inferred. Exact test date, game build, driver/SteamOS build, power connection, duration, run count, VRAM allocation and the complete individual menu settings are unavailable. Lows and battery life remain blank. Imported/source-checked September 12, 2026; no new hardware testing was performed by HandheldAtlas. Research note: this source explicitly says manual Witcher 3 and Ratchet & Clank benchmarks were not possible; do not import performance values for those games from its power/noise tables.
