I'm using a Legion go 2 as a dual monitor lol

>>731143672
Steam Deck LCD. I'm not getting a new one. I'm playing most of my games there, mainly games from older consoles as well as some indie PC games.

>>731143923
Do you have it connected to an external GPU?

I'm finally upgrading from my rog ally z1 extreme to this monster of a device.
Expensive as hell but I don't see games getting more demanding in a while and it runs effectively everything on medium or high.

Steam deck oled I got for 350 like new off facebook.
I've mostly been using it to play pokerogue in bed. Beat a mono electric run last night.

Sounds fun is it a good game? Should I download it?

I have the Xbox Rog Ally X, barely using it but last game I played in it was Bannerlord

>>731143672
yeah I got a legion go s and an OLED deck, they're fantastic. almost went for one of those handhelds with a 395 inside but they're too damn expensive

>>731144483
What's the meme about it?
I did a lot of research before I made the commitment.

>>731144583
Don't get the 395 variants. It's literally too much CPU core for very little gain because they eat too much power.
The 385 version are like 400 dollars cheaper and run everything at neglectable fps loss.
There's videos on it even.

>>731144049
No I don't think egpu is ready for primetime just yet
Maybe with USB 5

>>731144579
Ain't that just the normal Xbox ally? Not the Xbox ally x?

There is a standalone version of it. I just play through the browser because it's an easy way to sync my savefile. I really like it. My friend's opinion is "it is my favorite pokemon game, because it just turns it into my favirite aspect of pokrmon, an interactive puzzle where the pieces are funny creatures.
I've also been playing diablo and terraria. Terraria with a controller is sorta miserable though. Idk how the 3ds players tolerated that.

>>731146340
I'll give it a shot then

Are any of these devices actually worth the price point? Of are they still ment for enthusiasts?

>>731143672
Steam Deck LCD, 64GB model. I upgraded the SSD to 1TB. I've had it three years now. It will have to last as long as it can because I'll probably never afford the OLED model.

>>731146907
Only the cheap Steam Deck models were really worth it, they've been discontinued though so now you need to shill out more than 500 bucks to get a decent one

Only Gigachads use Steam Deck.

>>731147013
My problem with them is that they are technically stronger than the switch 2 but there are so many games that specifically optimized for Switch 2 that it doesn't matter how much stronger some of these other devices are.
Most of them can't run games like star wars outlaws in an even remotely playable state

>>731147126
I hate the stick and d pad position on it so much but it does look like the most established product.

>>731147258
Personally I find it really well done. Though, I will admit, I stick to the left trackpad instead of the d-pad.

>>731147013

What fps do you usually get on diablo 4?
It's a pretty demanding game

I haven't played it in a few months, but I limit the FPS to 30 or 45 and set graphics to the default "Handheld" preset, which is in the game under graphics settings, if I'm not mistaken.
Make sure you have a solid connection since it's unfortunately always online. It'll help prevent lag and stuttering.
Runs flawlessly once you do all that.

>>731147828
Oh well that's neat I honestly thought the steam deck didn't play it very well without insane visual drops like cyberpunk

I'm pretty retarded with noticing visual drops (I'm also partially blind and require glasses 24/7, so that might be why) but from what I can tell, it's flawless and looks quite good at the same time.
I do notice visual drops when my connection is weak, but otherwise it seems fine.

>>731144668
The driver's,the hardware has problems and the company.

I like my Steam Deck
Going to buy a Valve Cube

So... do smartphones count? I'd say they're essentially computers now.

>>731148724
not until valve officially makes steam mobile into a proper gaming platform and properly and directly ports proton
winlator and all its derivatives suck cock

I've had a Steamdeck for a long time but barely use because its really uncomfortable to hold imo, and my hands are not small.

My only solution was to use a bluetooth controller while laying the SD on a table but kinda defeats its purpose.

Still really cool what you can do with it.

>>731143672
>What PC handheld do you have?
A Steam Deck 64 GB LCD, to which I replaced the HD with a 1 TB SSD. I love it so fucking much; after buying it I started playing games again.
>Are you planning on getting one?
The next one I'll buy will be the Steam Deck 2 as soon as it gets released, nothing else.
>What games are you playing on it?
Generally old games, emulated games, porn rpgmaker games and so on.
I also play some things like Outlast Trials, Phasmophobia and more, docked to a monitor with m&kb.

>>731148445
I haven't heard any complaints about the drivers

Smartphones are strong enough now for sure but the software is just incompatible still

>>731149459
if i were you i'd buy a cube and a portable monitor
you place it down anywhere you want and you have a gaming setup in less than 2 minutes

>>731148724
I got the red magic 11 pro and it's fucking awesome.
The game sir controller add on feels great.
I may just have to buy a normal controller from them considering how good it feels.

Has anyone gone from an LCD to an OLED steam deck, how is the difference, do you consider it worth the cost?

>>731150403
the difference is down almost entirely down to battery life and your desire to play at higher refresh rates

>>731150403
ya

performance is identical. oled is nice and the screen is 90hz instead of 60, bezels are way less ugly. battery is bigger. unlike the original eck, setting tdp is an actual hard limit so you don’t really ever want to do it. two things no one ever really mentions is just how much faster it charges and downloads stuff which is actually a really big convenience factor. I would say it’s not really worth upgrading unless you really love your eck

Any future proof handhelds?
I wanted to get the steam deck but I hear it's outdated.
I just want to play new games at 1080p 60fps.

>>731150403
Many people don't realize that the deck OLED is significantly lighter, and this is probably the single biggest difference.
Larger OLED is obviously amazing and the battery is somewhat improved.
You will not notice any other differences than this so if those two things matter it's worth it

>>731150837
no
best you're getting is 4x deck performance at a blistering 70w power consumption with the gpd 8060s handheld that costs more than 3x the deck oled while not having an oled or trackpads
