Comment on [Game] Doom the Dark Ages will not run well on steam deck at release
kadup@lemmy.world 1 day agoI run ray tracing (and path tracing) just fine on a RTX 4060 Ti.
But yes, sure, no handheld at this point in time can handle ray tracing particularly well. The Switch 2 will outperform the Deck in that regard, but likely not enough to matter.

I’m honestly quite interested to see how well the Switch 2 handles CP77.
Also, I edited a bit and added more to my comment likely as or after you made yours.

This says a 4060ti can do Dark Ages at about 50fps at 1080p.
Looking at other benchmarks, it … oddly looks like the 8gb vs 16gb version of the 4060ti perform essentially exactly the same
I mean I guess that counts if you’re a 1080p person… I tend to think of 1440p 60fps, everything on ‘ultra’, as a minimum threshold these days for ‘running ray tracing well’, as raytracing becomes exponentially more performance costly as you go above 1080p… which is the whole reason modern frame upscaling and framegen had to be invented.
A 4060ti cannot run Doom Dark Ages, 1440p at 60 fps. Unless you turn down some other graphics settings… I am not seeing that in any benchmarks.
If 1080p is your benchmark than sure, I guess a 4060ti can almost run at 60 fps.
Also… I am using currently actually existing prices, not MSRP, as my basis for the previous statement.
There are very, very few 4060tis (16gb) actually available new right now, $600 is the lowest US price I am seeing, though there are a good number on eBay going for around $550, so I guess there’s another technical ‘you got me on that one.’
