[Game] System Shock remake 1.2 update massively improves performance on the deck, and comes with better controller support (steamdeckhq.com)

almost 50% better frame rates, which made playing at 90 FPS throughout the game possible on low settings and playing at Ultra quality settings at 30 FPS a possibility as well.

The game also uses less power now while running at a higher frame rate.

Controller experience is also reportedly a lot better:

The gamepad [changes] are fantastic and allow you to use the inventory menu and others much more easily, making playing on the Steam Deck 10x better.

1G uma buffer is the default setting, usually 4G is the modified setting people use.

Testing on a LCD deck would make sense too, but as long as they're doing before and after tests on the same device it should still highlight improvements fine. The LCD deck might not have the exact same performance change as the OLED, but if the OLED gets nearly 50% more frames the LCD will probably be pretty close.
