Quick Answer
Do not treat 1666: Amsterdam as Steam Deck optimized yet. The safest current answer is to expect Early Access performance risk, check official PC requirements first, and wait for repeatable handheld reports before publishing exact settings.

Cautious Settings Approach
If you test anyway, start with the lowest preset, reduce resolution scale, cap the frame rate, disable or reduce costly post-processing, and watch thermals during the first city sections. This is a test approach, not a proven best-settings table.
What We Need Before Calling It Verified
- Current build number.
- Steam Deck model and OS channel.
- Graphics preset, resolution, frame cap, and upscaling state.
- Repeatable FPS and stutter behavior in the same area.
- Screenshot or clip evidence.
