Some of the biggest are ones we\u2019ve already seen in a September beta, like support for VRR and HDR external displays, the ability to tweak your screen\u2019s color and undervolt your processor with new firmware, and a graphics driver update with a big performance improvement for Starfield<\/em> (though it still looks like mud in cities). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But there\u2019s one thing on the list I didn\u2019t expect: The update gives the official $79 Steam Deck Dock the new ability to support VRR external monitors itself. (Last I checked, the Steam Deck Dock page said \u201cFreeSync support is in-progress, update is forthcoming\u201d.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Personally, I\u2019m most excited by the ability to customize the MangoHud performance overlay to show what I want it to show. For example, I\u2019d like a minimal version that\u2019s just FPS, wattage, and battery life remaining. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There\u2019s also \u201cslightly improved sleep resume speed,\u201d \u201cImproved Bluetooth connection stability, especially with multiple controllers,\u201d lots of KDE Plasma changes to how the Linux desktop mode looks and works, and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
