    At Ultra with no dips below 90 FPS @1440p?

      How is that the standard for a thing that costs less than just my graphics card and is fully portable?? I don’t even need my gaming pc to do that shit.

      For what it is, the steam deck performs exceedingly well.

        It’s not, but it should be.

        It’s like people (like you) forget that not that long ago, a high-end graphics card used to cost $300. It is entirely possible to go back to those days, but greed is holding us back. There’s no reason why Valve couldn’t make a $500 Steam Deck that runs games at 1440p with RT. But Nvidia’a greed and AMD’s inability to keep up in the GPU sector (along with their greed) is holding us back.

      90 FPS @1440p

      On a handheld? What even for?

      60 FPS is already a meme on computer, even more now that certain companies hallucinate frames for their games with AI.

        Yeah what an absurd comment lol… That said, the OLED model does do 90fps

      What handheld, wait no, console period can?

      Most people don’t care that much to play at 90 fps on 1440p on a mobile device.

      I suspect part of the issue is you’re a kbm player primarily?

        No console can, and that’s my point. Which is why I can’t get into console and handheld gaming. They’re overpriced and underpowered, thanks to greedy chip makers. There’s no reason why a high-end GPU can’t cost $300 like they used to not that long ago.

  See other comments, this was on purpose to make it more portable. The deck doesn’t need to be a powerhouse, it needs to be portable. We already have powerhouse desktops

  • Psythik@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yes but where’s my powerhouse portable?

    source

    • scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      By definition it cannot exist. You can have a powerhouse or portable. The fact that they made the deck as powerful as they did is frankly amazing.

      The ROG Xbox Ally X is rumored to target 1080p at $899.99, ONEXPLAYER has models using the latest and greatest AMD AI 9 HX and 144hz at $900 ~$1K-ish and Aya Neo has some too.
      There’s many options for “Powerhouse portables”, you just gotta be willing to pay for 'em.
