[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.

Both versions were tested on Steam Deck OLED models with no CryoUtilities and a UMA Buffer set to 1G (default).

No, just no, I hate testing like this, it's not a stock deck with the 1G uma buffer, it's just not, and the OLED deck is already known to be more power efficient and has a small fps improvement due to that power efficiency. They should be testing with the middle ground LCD deck with no buffer modifications and then test with modifications to see the difference.

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.
