As great as Valve's optimization is with Elden Ring, you also have these other cases where Sonic Generations drops to 15 fps (and Horizon Zero Dawn issues based on LTT video) even though that's a verified title not to mention how terrible the desktop experience has been.

That's very strange. I just played Sonic Generations for half an hour and it ran fine. Most of the time solid 60 fps, in some area transitions it drops down for the fraction of a second in the 40 - 59 fps area.

Perhaps you had downloads in the background while playing? I'd recommend to disable background downloading. 

Did you try Seaside Hill specifically? The framerate drops was really noticeable when I used the dash button. It is unlikely that it was due to background downloading because I tried other games and those ran fine. I even tried going back and the same issue was still there.

Regardless though, I did sell mine for now cause of the fan. I'll probably give it another chance sometime next year or when Steam Deck 2 comes out.
