Steam Deck OLED 1TB

I’ll add on to this that Steam Deck uses power passthrough that bypasses the battery entirely. This means that you aren’t constantly wearing down the biggest fail point of these devices. If you are someone that charges to 80-100% and then unnecessarily unplugs it, you are essentially reducing the li

I’m so happy to see a developer engage with the community on Reddit. I really enjoyed the first game. My Steam Deck (OLED) wishlist: runs at 45fps consistently; can cope at 12w tdp or lower (though I get that might be asking a lot of a new game); adjustable font size/UI for accessibility; finally, p

Steam Deck uses an x86 chip, iPad uses an ARM chip. You get more performance on x86 but it eats through a lot more power. You get more efficiency with ARM but it's not as powerful. A big issue as well is the compatibility of applications between both architectures. But ARM tech has been coming far t

Switch is way more efficient on a watt to watt basis, but the Steam Deck is more powerful in handheld when using its full wattage. Edit: I should add, even though the Switch 2 is about 3x more efficient, the battery in standby is about equivalent because of the 50w battery of the Steam Deck. Additio

For very early impressions, Silksong seems to draw very little power. If you have an OLED you could definitely get away with playing at 90 FPS without a big hit to battery life! The in-game frame limiter only has options for 30, 60 or 120 FPS though, so I just turned it off and set the Steam Deck's

Yes but Switch games are custom designed for ARM. Valve will always need to make PC games (all x86) work on ARM using a translation layer. A really good x86 machine still makes more sense. The battery life on the Steam Deck OLED is already pretty good for most situations. If they can maintain that w

I choose an ROG Ally X because I wanted “a bigger battery”… I ended up getting a Steam Deck OLED as well later because I wanted the track pads. The interesting thing I found is that the deck is just SO optimised that the battery performance is the same as the Ally X is almost every game. Example, my

Steam Deck (particularly the OLED model) is more power efficient than any other handheld by far, as most don't even allow for the low power envelope of the Deck. I personally love that, as I have a lot of indie stuff I play and retro games I emulate at 5w and lower that run for absurd amounts of tim

ARM processor isn’t a deal breaker, but it would need to be significantly more powerful with the same or better battery life to replace my steam deck OLED.

as someone who owns an oled steam deck and bought a portal as well. i do not regret the purchase at all. its much more portable and the battery life is really great. i did buy the max model so i have had 0 issues playing my steam library. obviously its all personal preference but i really love my po
