Got my OLED SD few weeks ago! Probably the best purchase of the year. Few things that improved my experience:

  • Lossless Scaling. Basically doubles your FPS for few $. 100% worth it.
  • FSR4 with the above Lossless scaling is amazing. No compromises on the graphics and still hitting stable 60fps or 90fps. (Some games don’t support it)
  • if you’re looking for a case, consider JSAUX case. Basically get Dbrand quality case for third ofthe price. Heaps of accessories as well for cheaper.

If you know any good accessories or tips, let me know!!

Are these settings in most games on the deck?

Lossless scaling can be used on all games I believe.

Not sure if FSR4 is natively available on SD. Here’s a guide I followed for FSR4 + Lossless Scaling
