This game runs and look amazing on the Deck... BUT... beware of GPU and tinkering steps.
SteamOS GPU toggle to 1600Mhz
Joystick sensibility set to custom
FPS set to 30 via SteamOS
The Deck experiences heavy FPS drops in the land of the Dwarfs (Svartalfheim). To fix this issue, you need to set SteamOS FPS cap to 30, and manually toggle GPU frequency to 1600Mhz. After sleep and resume, the issue will come back. Simply toggle OFF and ON SteamOS GPU Frequency again. That should fix it for now. Optional: Set Powertool Scheduler to PERFORMANCE.
A great experience on the Deck BUT beware of the needed Tinkering to make it work. Svartalfheim (land of the Dwarfs after 3 hours of Gameplay) breaks the Game on the Deck. You'll experience heavy FPS drop to 20 and won't be able to play it anymore.
To fix it, set FPS lock to 30 via SteamOS, and GPU to 1600Mhz. If you have Powertool installed, set it to Performance will help as well. After Sleep and Resume, the FPS issue with drop to 20 will be back. To solve it, toggle back OFF and ON SteamOS GPU to 1600Mhz.
This tinkering is very easy if you want to enjoy God Of War Ragnarok on SteamDeck.
For the OLED, you'll need to toggle HDR on in the game setting after every restart. Unfortunately, the option doesn't stick in the current version.
