# THIS GAME’S GRAPHICS CONFIGURATION PERFORMS WELL ON STEAM DECK

**But once again, “Rift Apart” had been marketed as a PS5 exclusive for certain reasons. Even the game’s original PC system requirements indicated that a desktop Radeon RX 470 or better would be needed for 720p resolution at 30 frames per second, as revealed two weeks ago. Although these desktop graphics cards cannot be directly compared to the integrated GPU of the Steam Deck, benchmark charts suggest that they would outperform it in terms of raw performance.**
Perhaps “Rift Apart” has been exceptionally well optimized for the custom AMD “Aerith” chip in the Deck? Maybe it heavily relies on AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution and actually runs below 720p, but with intelligent static upscaling.
All Valve guarantees with the Steam Deck Verified badge is that the game has been spot-checked – it launches and runs relatively smoothly with the developer’s default settings.
