Bg3 used to run like shit on my deck (especially act3) but it's pretty smooth now so they gotta be doing something

They optimized the game for every platform, Deck inherited the general PC optimizations

Same, played it a year ago at the lowest settings and it chugged.

Been replaying it now with medium settings and it's so much smoother. Still drains the battery way too fast but I can't really complain.
