And this is one of the very rare situations in which I will opt in for data collection.
Having robust data on FPS per hardware component per game, over the entirety of Steam, is beyond useful.

It was obviously going to happen. They spent months just to support a single game, and the entire logic behind the app was that the developers would have to manually add support for each and every game. So either they'd be constantly wasting a lot of money chasing the games, or they'd have a useless app that can mod 10 popular games and ignores everything else.
That said, Vortex is a mess with a salad of different mod installation methods, patches on top of patches, and cryptic errors.

Worth noting that you can mod 32 GBs of RAM, and a few people did the mod, finding literally zero performance benefit.

The worst part is while variable shading can help... The fixed half shading on the Steam Deck's APU barely gives any performance benefits at all. It will make everything look horrendous on many games, and net you pretty much zero FPS. Keep it always off.
