Is the performance for docked games better in game mode or desktop mode? Let’s say CS:GO - would the performance (docked) be better in game mode (resolution set in properties to 1080p) or desktop mode (1080p)? Thanks.

How do you use your Steam Deck docked?

@cianmor I found that the resolution of games was correct for my monitor more often when in desktop mode. Also allows for using steam features you can’t in game mode. But I tend to switch as required if something seems to work better in one over the other

in game mode the resolution is fixed on 800p by default. you have to switch to native resolution in the steam settings of a game
