For Steam Deck players looking to optimize popular games, this article brings together recommended game settings for the most-played titles consistently topping Steam Deck’s popularity charts. We’ve compiled the best display settings to enhance your gaming and visual experience on a larger screen, aimed at achieving at least 30 FPS for smooth performance. If you’re aiming for even higher FPS, use these settings as a starting point and consider lowering specific visual elements to achieve a more fluid gameplay experience.

The reason these games consistently top Steam Deck’s most-played charts goes beyond stunning graphics. These titles offer vast worlds, intricate stories, and diverse gameplay mechanics, giving players incredible freedom to explore for hundreds of hours. To fully immerse yourself in these detailed worlds, consider outputting the games to a larger monitor or TV with the BenQ GR10, rather than the small 7-inch display. This setup provides a clearer view of complex interfaces, while a controller—or even a keyboard and mouse—elevates the experience, allowing you to dive deeper into the adventure without distractions.

The BenQ GR10 USB4 Gaming Mobile Dock is compatible with a variety of handheld consoles, including the Steam Deck LCD/OLED, ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and Lenovo Legion GO, perfectly fitting these devices into its dock. With a USB-C upstream supporting up to 40Gbps—four times the bandwidth of official Steam Deck dock—it can deliver top performance up to 4K 120Hz or 1080P 360Hz, ensuring an exceptional display experience.

Furthermore, the GR10 supports HDR10, allows gamers to see finer details in the game’s dark and bright areas, providing a richer and more immersive visual experience.
