The optimal Tekken 8 graphics settings for Steam Deck can help the game run smoothly. It is the latest entry in the long-running fighting game series and can run well on modest systems like the Steam Deck, which struggles with most modern releases. Besides being well-optimized, the game also bundles many customizable graphics options that must be fine-tuned for the best experience. We recommend spending some time tweaking the settings before diving into gameplay to ensure stable framerates.

Manually going through the settings can be a bit overwhelming for some, especially if you want to enjoy the game without getting into the technicalities. To help you get started quickly, we have prepared this cheat sheet with the best Tekken 8 graphics settings for the Steam Deck at various framerates.

Best Tekken 8 graphics settings for 30 FPS on Steam Deck

The Steam Deck can easily do 30 FPS in Tekken 8 without major compromises. You can play the game at the console's native 1280x800 resolution while hitting this framerate consistently without major stutters.

We recommend a mix of Low, Medium, and High settings for the best in-game experience. Besides, the fighting game also brings support for AMD FSR, which helps boost framerates further on modest hardware. However, if you are solely targeting 30 FPS, FSR isn't mandatory.

The Tekken 8 graphics settings for the game are as follows:

Screen mode: Fullscreen
Resolution: 1280 x 800
V-Sync: Off
Variable rate shading: Off
Rendering quality preset: Custom
Rendering scale: Custom
Upscaling: TAAU
Anti-aliasing quality: Medium
Shadow quality: Medium
Texture quality: Low
Effect quality: Medium
Post-processing quality: High
Background quality: High
Measure/Display FPS: On

Best Tekken 8 graphics settings for 60 FPS on Steam Deck

Getting 60 FPS can be a bit tricky on the Steam Deck. Tekken 8 is locked to this framerate; hence, it will allow maximum smoothness, but you must crank down the settings seriously to hit 60 consistently.

We recommend a mix of Low and Medium settings with FSR set to Quality if you want high framerates. Do note that the game won't look the best with these settings applied. However, if you want the extra edge higher framerates can give, this combination is worth it.

The detailed settings list for the Deck is as follows:

Screen mode: Fullscreen
Resolution: 1280 x 800
V-Sync: Off
Variable rate shading: Off
Rendering quality preset: Custom
Rendering scale: Custom
Upscaling: FSR Quality
Anti-aliasing quality: Medium
Shadow quality: Low
Texture quality: Low
Effect quality: Medium
Post-processing quality: Medium
Background quality: Medium
Measure/Display FPS: On

The Steam Deck is one of the weakest handhelds out there. It is due for an upgrade sometime soon. Despite this, it can play the latest games like Tekken 8 without major performance issues with the above tweaks applied. The new Tekken title isn't particularly demanding on PC, which helps modest hardware like the Deck catch up.
