Two things can be true. Fallout 3 is poorly optimized for sure. The steam deck’s CPU performance also sucks. I’ve had this issue with plenty of games.

- worldofmatthew 4y agoFallout 3 has massive issues on any new operating system. There are unofficial patches and mods to fix that but Valve does not auto-install anything unofficial, even if it would make things far better.
- capableweb 4y agoI recently played through Death Stranding which is more recent, better graphics and seemingly better optimized than Fallout 3. I'm pretty sure if the CPU can handle Death Stranding (and other more complex games) without problem, it could handle Fallout 3 if the programming was on point.
- wiseowise 4y agoSteam Deck’s CPU is far more powerful than CPUs of the day when those games were released, the issue somewhere else.
- sosodev 4y agoWhere do you suspect the problem might be? I know that the memory latency is the primary issue for that engine. It sucked on the CPU of that era, it sucks on the steam deck, but it does not suck for most modern CPU because they have way more L3 cache and better latency outside of it (as the article states)
