Steam Deck performance is probably underwhelming

Hi, I can run Geekbench with GPU support but the results look a bit underwhelming. rocm-smi shows 0% usage for the GPU and the power consumption is under 3 watts. I'm not sure where it is running but it completes fine after a lot of time. Here is my result from SteamOS: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/4414078

I wonder if there is something I can do to improve this situation. Other software seems to be using the GPU fine (for example hashcat)

Thanks,
George

    We haven't done much testing with the Steam Deck so I don't know what's going on here. We'll dig into it and see if there's something we need to do to better support the Steam Deck.
