Only surprise for me is that Witcher 3 is so high up. In my experience it doesn't actually run very well and needs the settings cranked down for an unstable 30 fps. Glad people are enjoying it, though.
People could be playing the pre-upgrade version of the game, which is still available as a beta option (afaik). It has much better performance.
I've seen some guides on settings for getting the upgraded version to run better as well, apparently stuff like grass detail makes a huge difference in how well the game runs.
There’s a steam deck graphics preset on the next gen version that works really well. I have the FPS locked at 45fps and it is really smooth. I am also playing the next gen version on my PS4 and it is really laggy compared to the steam deck.
