Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.

  Steam Deck screen is only 800p so that’s the resolution for all games. And it’s perfect for the screen size.

      Yep quite right, I was just clarifying because you said “low res like 720p or 480p” - the Steam Deck is 800p native. Total agreement.

    I’m so glad Valve did not give in to the tech-number-nerds who want 2K resolution on tiny screens, saves so much battery life.

  I’d be happy if it played Owlcat RPGs at near full settings. Those games are allot more fun than BG3, imo.

  I digress though. It’d be nice to be able to play recent games again. If the deck can do that on my TV, I’m down.

      WotR, never played Kingmaker. And I just got Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. I don’t understand how these games aren’t more popular.

    We hook our Steam Deck up to a 4k projector and it looks amazing. The built in upscaler from 800p to 4k is astonishingly good. Obviously not AS good as native but and many games are limited to 30fps but holy smokes it’s more than good enough.
