Shouldn't the powerlimit range come from VBIOS anyway.. depending on the GPU.
136W minimum for a 6600XT surely sounds a bit too high for a Minimum. On nvidia at least usually the limit ranges are sane. Higher end GPUs have higher minimum thats allowed.

RTX 3080 for example:

 GPU Power Readings
        Power Draw                        : 37.30 W
        Current Power Limit               : 370.00 W
        Requested Power Limit             : 370.00 W
        Default Power Limit               : 370.00 W
        Min Power Limit                   : 100.00 W
        Max Power Limit                   : 370.00 W

Spoiler, click me

If you use x11 you shouldn't have faced any issue. The problem is with Wayland. I've been suffering them and there are a lot of people having too, you can check their forums on the Linux section.

Although 535 was still stable for me, some people already had some then. And they messed enough with them to make playing on Wayland impossible. They were really outdoing themselves for a while, I almost got some hope thinking playing on Wayland as an Nvidia user would be possible.

Ahh ok, wayland, yeah, but X11 still works perfectly, so why is there sudden rush with wayland? its not even default on most distros yet.. Give it some time.

security issues has been a thing for quite some time for many things. Usually developers get some time to prepare fixes ahead when those issues are discovered and before becoming public. So i dont really see much of a problem with that since all the drivers have been already updated with fixes.

what mess has nvidia made with drivers recently? the drivers have been working flawlessly for me quite some time... i think there where few game regressions with early 535 versions but updated ones fixed those and 545.xx and current 550.xx have been super solid also.

Quoting: TheRiddickAll good.

What I would like NVIDIA to be doing is release a update o NVReflex and Frame Generation support, that be neat.

afaik reflex will work once that gets merged:

Yeah, seems thats the reason i haven't had any crashes at all with the game.
Always wondered why some people had so many crashes with this game.

So far seems to work like all previous drivers (535 and 545) for me. No issues to report.
Im on X11 though so yeah. Cant complain really. Everything works as expected.

Portal with RTX and prelude was very well made. Textures were replaced there also. Enjoyed playing through it again.
Half life 2 Looks great from the few shots it shows in the video. Modders are amazing!
Hopefully it will have decent performance, but i dont have high hopes for performance with anything related to RT really at least on native resolutions.

I bet most of your "unsupported" games are "Valve is still working on...", which usually means that it works all fine.

This is the site i used yes.. For example EA Sport WRC shows unsupported, but i have been playing it since launch. Clocked 75 hours in it. Sons of the Forest is another one. Works perfectly.
Portal RTX, WRC Generations, WRC 10, Dirt Rally 2.0, RAGE, State of Mind, Mafia, Mafia 3 Definitive Edition, Valley, Project Cars 2, Elder Scroll online just to name few that are marked as unsupported but working without issues on my Linux PC.

But i guess they are somehow unsupported on Steam Deck maybe.

Edit: What i meant that they were tested by valve but marked unsupported i guess due deck incompatibilities?

Pretty sure everything i have on my library works on linux. Though i guess there could be few free to play games that have anti-cheat and not working, which i have downloaded.

113 unsupported is way too much though, but its steamdeck verification.

VERIFIED: 165 games (19.86%)
PLAYABLE: 333 games (40.07%)
UNSUPPORTED: 113 games (13.60%)
UNKNOWN: 220 games (26.47%)
