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?

The only real difference is that desktop mode uses x and game mode uses Wayland. You can usually get a better experience in game mode (Wayland) because of the performance tools that let you easily cap frame rate/etc.

That is interesting… does this have an impact on performance? Or maybe having less stutter or Freesync with Wayland?
