increasing the settings on the Deck will just tank the framerate more though
>>
>>720672769
Can you read? INSTEAD of maxxing them on the deck. Any game will run like shit on deck if you run it with 16x MSAA downsampling from 8k and the deck at 3 watts. Unless they show settings on both the game and deck the video is utter bullshit. I'm saying this as someone who sold my deck because it's a fucking cinderblock in the hands so I hardly ever played it.

Yeah, it's dogshit, same with battery life and such. But unlike tendies, deckfags actually move on from their shitposts and shitpost way less in general. Tendies are just horribly fucking desperate to not feel like they're getting screwed by nintendo. Hence why they immediately latched onto outlaws of all games to try and resume their shitposting again. It's because it's literally all they got to try and shitpost over.

The Deck can't really be compared to the Switch 2. The Switch 2 gets games made for it, the Deck is running literally the same version you play in your $1000 PC.

The Deck has sold less than 2m units, i think. I don't think it's sold on Walmart or anything, they just sell it from Steam.

I wouldn't buy a handheld PC now, they are too much of a novelty and most of them are expensive as fuck for mid performance. If you are gonna buy a Rog Ally X or whatever, it's better to just buy a PC or a Switch 2.
Most people will say: "huh, but with handheld pcs you can play all your Steam library". But, realistically, do you want to buy a brand new $900 machine to play games you bought in 2015? I know i don't, which is why i barely use my Steam Deck.

Its awful but people who buy Tendie Tablets dont notice shit like that. They probably don't even know what it means.

Deck is for streaming my game library from my PC to my bed. I don't really care if it can play something or not, because my PC can.

Hopefully they will release an OLED Switch 2 in about 2 years and the LCD Switch 2 will get cheap for people who only play it docked.

>>
Buying a switch/switch 2 makes some sense as it has games.
A deck is a waste of money, since its just like those shitty gaming laptops everyone made fun of, over priced and weaker than your desktop.
Only a cultist would spend the $800 for a PS5.
Xbox owners don't exist.

Actually modding games no, but the Series X can at least run emulators with the dev program thing.
You do have to pay 20 bucks, but you do get a box that is very capable of emulation due not using CPUs that are worse per core than the nintendo switch ones this time around.

And it makes mister fags mad.

They're basically about the same power, the Switch2 just uses ARM, which is more efficient by sacrificing a shitload of compatibility. Considering it's a locked down prison system that needs games explicitly made for it anyway, that suits Nintendo just fine, but ARM would have been dumb as hell for the Deck.
But Valve's also working on an ARM compatibility layer so we'll see what happens.

exclusives are the reason to get a platform

In this specific case is just nvidia raytracing being faster than AMD raytracing.
The switch 2 beats even the Xbox series S in the raytracing effects on this game.
It does lose on everything else of course, but the RT part is better.

Exclusives are anti-consumer cancer for convenient idiots and taking games hostage is why Nintendo thinks they're allowed to act like such a piece of shit these days.

the shitch is so weak it can't even run a game from the year 2000

Honestly, the biggest detriment for Nintendo right now is their simple refusal to put their old games on sale. I have had my switch 2 since August and I am finally buying the first game on it since I bought it and it's not even one of theirs. Its fucking Hat in Time but that's pretty close to Mario gameplay so I'll take it

On FLOPs alone, the Nvidia GPU on the S2 is more powerful. But I only now noticed that it's a bigger die: 163mm^2 vs 200mm^2
Maybe this size difference is what makes the GPU much stronger? Bigger size generally means more transistors.

But the deck has a better CPU.

I was going to get the OLED Deck, but after Valve fucked over the customers of the LCD model, they can blow me. I got a PS5 instead.
What am I talking about, you ask?
The shoulder buttons on the LCD model are the weakest point on the unit, only held on place by their three contract prongs. Over time they will eventually break.
Now that in itself isn't an issue. The issue that while Valve made every other component to the Deck available for self repair, they refused to release the fucking board the shitty shoulder buttons are attached to.
Meaning you're just fucked
Fuck Valve. Fuckers aren't getting my money anymore.

It can run it at full speed after some optimizations and shit.
But it still takes 100% of the deck to pull it off.

To be more specific, that's what you can do to push a deck into running this game well.
But you have to fuck around and find out, and tweak and all that shit, and what Yuzu* can't do, you obviously can't do, so it's not a full nintendo switch replacement.
>>
so is this the snoy's new cope? randomly list off slop like ridge racer to try pretend its a "win" against nintendo because its not on the console?
>>
I wish Valve would have ran full on anti-Nintendo and pro Deck ads while the Switch 2 controversy was still a thing. Like show how expensive a Switch 2 with games is and how limited it is compared to a Deck. They had real potential to eat into the handheld market and kill Nintendo

That would have killed the Deck, Valve knows what they're doing. If they didn't, they would be PlayStation and Xbox, lol.

so exactly like the AAA games being ported to the switch 2?
>>
>>720668386
Seriously comparing a brand new system to one from almost 4 years ago?
>>
>>720683505
S2 is running on old ARM architecture while the XboxS is more modern. The cpu and memory performance of the switch is a lot worse. The gpu is newer and supports more modern upscalers
>>
>>720688139
The Deck is not a console so it doesn't need to compete, it offers more than games and it's flexibility is unparalled, it's my favorite device of all the devices I've ever had.
>>
>>720687438
Old Nintendo games, back when Nintendo knew how to actually make games.
Modern Nintendo games suck ass.
>>
>>720687751
Anon, please. If deckies wanted to list out every game nintendo's piece of shit couldn't run we'd be here forever.

>>720688139
Valve doesn't want to have to deal with braindead normalfags not knowing the barest basics of how to operate a computer. They might do a push with the deck 2 when things are super refined, but selling hardware isn't valve's goal. They know they're extremely well positioned for the long haul and just want competitors to make the hardware for them knowing everybody is going to use steam anyway. Nintendo on the other hand is extremely poorly positioned and has nearly all their eggs in one hardware basket that if struggles tanks everything else they do with it. Valve doesn't have to try to kill nintendo, they can just keep rolling along and crushing everything at their leisure.
>>
>>720668386
Switch games are optimized for switch, while Steam deck has to run games that are meant for a full blown gaming PC
>>
>>720689857
>price will never change
It got discounted and consistently went on sale. It also ate the tariffs without raising the price while all the consoles bent right over and fucked their users.
>>
>>720690229
They sell refurbished ones even cheaper too

>>720668386
>playing a game with mandatory raytracing on a system that doesn't support hardware accelerated raytracing
>acts surprised when a system with hardware accelerated raytracing outperforms it
Reminder that the Steam Deck has an RDNA2 GPU, while AMD didn't really figure out hardware RT until RDNA4.
>>
>>720674410
But I wouldn't go out to buy a $500 handheld for a game that I can just play on my phone. If I were to spend hundreds on a gaming system, then it'd better have games I can't get anywhere else. Otherwise, I'd save my money and stick with what I have.
>>
>>720690602
>buying an used Deck
I've seen what people do with their decks, the price doesn't make up for it.
>>
>>720691082
Switch 2 has raytracing?
>>
>B-BUT YOU CAN PLAY MOTHER 3 ON THE DECK
LMAO, I can already Mother 3 portably without a Deck. You guys are desperate to shill the Deck.
>>
>>720688709
main difference is that you can play like 70% of your steam library without having to pay extra, suuuuuuuuuuure you can play switch 1 games on the nsw2 but it would fucking barely or you have to shell out for the upgrade instead of leaving that shit for free, you can emulate shit on it and even if you don't want to use a regular emulator by sideloading you can just use retroarch on top of normal priced indie games because steam has region locked prices
>>
>>720692089
>main difference is that you can play like 70% of your steam library without having to pay extra
Like 99% of your steam library. There are very, very few games the deck cannot run. And even in those cases there's ways to still play them with a deck.

the upgrade patches are free, retard

How can you guys just lie so brazenly? Every Switch game that doesn't have a patch but has uncapped framerates or resolutions would hit their caps. Plenty of games got free updates too. It's only a small handful of games that offer paid upgrades, and they usually offer additional content and features on top of the performance updates.
>>
>>720692361
Most games still look and run like shit and paid 'upgrade' patches shouldn't be a thing at all. Nintendo can suck my dick. They deserve all the hate they get.

Fucking Disgaea 6 was a blurry mess on Switch 1, but Switch 2 runs the Graphics mode at 60 fps and sharp visuals. A lot of those games that ran poorly on Switch 1 now run at 60fps on Switch 2. Why the fuck are you lying about something that's so easily fact-checked?
>>
>>720692858
funny how sales counted when the deck was announced and all of you were fantasizing about it outselling the switch
now that the deck miserably failed you had to backpedal into pretending sales don't matter
>>
>>720692943
Nobody is lying here but you trying to pretend some exceptions are the norm.
>>
>>720692732
Nintendo sure is quiet on those sales numbers bro
They dumped a shitload at launch and then radio silence
Endless red flags
>>
>>720692952
Nah, I'm pretty sure I said the deck could sell a single unit and as long as it was my unit it wouldn't matter. It still kicks the shit out of the switch.
>>
>>720692995
>some exceptions are the norm
Are you retarded? Any game that has performance issues on Switch 1 runs better on Switch 2, and that video used examples like Disgaea 6 and Saint Row 3/4 as examples.
>Nobody is lying here
Bullshit

States Switch 1 games would barely play on Switch 2 without a paid upgrade which is a lie.

Then where are the numbers tendie? Why has nintendo been so quiet for what a huge success it's been? It sure seems like it sold well at launch to scalpers and diehards and then ate utter shit. One of the many reasons you pissbabies are still screeching your asses off over the deck.

Kek

Yes. Its GPU uses Nvidia's Ampere architecture, which means it has Nvidia's 2nd gen RT cores.

Anon, I have some bad news for you. The Xbox Series X|S are the last Xbox consoles to ever exist. Next gen "Xbox" is an AMD APU called "Magnus". It's being launched in a third party living room Xbox with no disc drive or backwards compatibility, just the Xbox full-screen experience, Game Launchers, and Windows desktop for $1400 late next year. In 2027, they're going to launch another third party Xbox handheld using the Magnus APU as well, same as the home console. Starting with these, Microsoft will release third party devices increments, instead of waiting generations. These will all be expensive, very expensive. It's over. If I were an Xbot, I would think about just getting a Steam Deck 2 in early 2027, the REAL launch date.
>>
>>720694263
They KNEW there was a problem because on the OLED models the fixed their engineering mistake and made the should buttons much more secure.
