Some really, really lightweight games can be done at 4k and depending on the graphical style it might be a good result. The two I know of are Rush Rally Origins (60 FPS at 4k maxed out! 14 watts! Only during the gameplay, menus are oddly more intense lmao) and Offroad Mania.
But aside from the odd game here and there you're not supposed to expect 1080p from the Deck, not with recent/AAA games. I actually managed to trick myself into disappointment when I got it! Not knowing what to expect, and also not wanting to wait for a long download I tried Offroad Mania. Worked like a charm, obviously. Then I installed Hot Wheels Unleashed... and that's what created disappointment. See, it runs maxed out at 800p same as my desktop with a 3060 runs it at 4k: "it's the same as my computer but at a lower resolution! Sweet!"
Didn't last long before reality hit me XD
