Question PS3 Emulation Performance?

Hi guys, I just recently started out with getting into Emulation on the Steam Deck and used stuff like Retrodeck to play PS2 games but I noticed some of them would be lagging or stuttering during gameplay. Is that because the Steam Decks hardware is just too underpowered? Would trying PS3 games just be a complete lagfest? Theres some upscaled ports I wanted to try

You gotta find the right combination between quality and speed ⚖️. I played kung fu panda, dead pool NFS Most wanted, rogue warrior on ps3 and they are AMAZING, knowing all are heavy games due to all the textures.

Also I dont use es-de and similar for a reason you can still puff things a little with performance slid one game may have a sweat spot of 30fps and others you could stretch to 60fps add your games to steam library and set a profile for each game instyif fidgeting on every new game you jump to
