Wtf is this shit. Steam deck had reached it's limit.... Unoptimized games!!!

The Apple M1 proved that ARM cores can outpace x86 in terms of performance. Not sure why you’d think ARM chips are inherently weaker or less capable of gaming than x86

Those are not mutually exclusive, PS4 came out nearly 10 years ago, the iPad Pro is quite powerful

Original PS4 that's 9 years old and at release contained the power of a GPU 2 years old.

This was true for a hot minute.

You can get better in a laptop now. Especially at the $650 price point.

Honestly.

Imagine someone posting

>Hey guys! I have a GTX 1050! I should be able to rock out in the most demanding AAA titles, right?

Steam deck often gets a pass because it's a mobile device...but the games don't care.

It's not like the steamdeck is playing these games at the game resolution and settings as desktop.

The steamdeck can play current gen games because the resolution is only 720 and the settings are generally reduced to medium. On top of that there are settings for the deck that let you limit the max framerate.

There's a lot the deck does to make gaming on it feel smooth. It still looks good since the screen is smaller. All of this doesn't even take into account DLSS and FSR.

Some people just want to keep pushing for a steam deck 2 when the things been out for a year. Like the steam deck is a whole gen ahead of the switch. There's almost no reason for vavle to upgrade it for a few years. Maybe minor changes but I don't see them making like a version with a high end laptop steam deck version.

Tablet grade? Bruh, it's as powerful as a PS4

Not in Skyrim, which won't use your six cores but will limit you to what ever performance one of your ARM cores provide

Didn't modern PCs still struggle with some PS2 titles even just a few years ago? It was never an issue with my specs but I always heard a lot of titles were unplayable on anything but a high end gaming PC, and although that was quite a few years ago I doubt the new Rockchip is going toe to toe with even a 6 year old gaming PC.

Yeah, anything the Switch can run, your phone could probably run it better.

I'm not holding my breath, but the RPi Foundation claims their production should get back to pre-pandemic levels this year.

I mean... did they advertise it as limitless?

Cause I'm pretty sure "lot of limits" was VERY baked in to everyone's assumptions.

Does anyone really care? It's the undisputed leader and unchallenged rival at its price point.

666.66 rounds to 667mhz

I've been getting ads for ambernic and powkiddy handhelds and they look pretty great, with some great features, etc. I can absolutely see the appeal but they're also a bit too expensive to be worth taking the risk on.

By underpowered though I mean even going back to the dingoo a320, they've always underdelivered. You can't be sure sound will work, the emulators cant hit framerates, they offer support for many consoles but a bunch are "just barely", and even though performance and capacity has increased vastly, whenever I check out video reviews, I see games struggling to run properly.

It's just weird, it feels like they're always using bottom of the barrel components that appear to have decent specs, but just aren't up to the right level.

Tablet grade 15w cpu+gpu package found his limit in games with 720p screen? Can’t be???!!!😆

I find anyone who thinks the Deck should be able to run these types of games to begin with completely out of touch.

Why do you say they are underpowered? I’ve got several anbernic handhelds and I’m always impressed by what they can emulate. Some systems actually require a legit gaming computer to emulate the games, but that’s not a hit against the handhelds. Steam Deck is an emulation powerhouse for the price though.

Dayum, 16GB of RAM on a credit card sized board? My much bigger PC Tower only has that much. XD

Pi-hole requires almost no resources to run. Such a waste to dedicate and entire piece of hardware to just that.

Just buy a dedicated print server appliance. They’ve existed since the 90s.

anything beats paying 200+ USD for a raspi
