Since this is basically a small PC, Twitter user @TheSmcelrea tried to install the latest version of AMD Adrenalin Software on the Steam Deck, compared to the specific drivers provided by Valve, discovering, as confirmed also through the publication of a screenshot, that it works correctly, also allowing you to view the control panel and activate some exclusive features of AMD, such as Radeon Chill and Anti-Lag.

However, using generic drivers could potentially lead to to some problems, as it is possible that some unique features of Steam Deck are not exploited, as well as introduce instability in the system. Precisely for this reason, their installation must be carried out at your own risk. It is not even said that Valve offers, with a future version of the drivers, the possibility to access the Adrenalin panel natively to change some settings.| ); }
Recently, a new Beta update was released which introduced several new features and improvements, including support for the fTPM functionality, thus allowing the installation of Windows 11. Among other notable changes, there is is the addition of the ability to use both trackpads at the same time to write, an option already present on the original Steam Controller and which should make typing much more comfortable.
