Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 day agoThis has been a major annoyance I’ve had too with gamers. It was never meant to play games at 240fps with ultra graphics. It’s meant as a way to make “most” games playable on the road. A great low cost entry point, or something to compliment your big gaming rig. I don’t need an upgrade because it does what it does great, plays most games on decent settings well enough for the duration of a flight or trip. If you want ultra graphics, you will have to pay ultra prices and probably do a big desktop. Even “Steam Deck 2” will still probably only do 30-45fps games on medium, just newer games will be a bit more playable.

I want a higher resolution screen to make specific games more playable, by rendering text and stuff like that at higher resolution (while the rest of the game could keep targeting lower resolutions and get upscaled)

There is a zoom function. Haven’t tried it myself yet as I haven’t had the need yet. But there is on the deck.

I have good eyes, the zoom won’t help me because it doesn’t add pixels to the frame (maybe unless you’re downsampling?). I want more physical pixels, and then higher resolution text to make use of it!
