getting brutally mogged by newer UMPCs
The amazing fact, fact, is that it isn't
The Phoenix Point family is certainly more powerful, but having 8 CPU cores to balance against the IGP really holds back GPU clocks when there is sustained load on each.
Whats also incredible is that the lower binnings of the Phoenix Point family retain over 50% of the performance despite having only 1/3 of the CU. Power scaling is everything, and Van Gogh was purpose built for this lower TDP envelope, Phoenix was not.
Some of the Strix Point family launching later should handedly trounce Van Gogh, but you won't see this in any handheld for quite some time
20w and under, especially 15w and under, Van Gogh in the Deck is that absolute best chip in any handheld right now..
I'm honestly worried if AMD can even produce another low-TDP miracle chip for Valve. Do we have any new hardware leaks about what new silicon might be on the horizon?
They can. Even smaller more power efficient chips are already underway.
Quick rundown? Do we have some theoretical benchmarks on this?
They do have a smaller die quad core chip, Phoenix 2, intended for tablets and Chromebooks. There will be a Zen5/RDNA3.5 successor to this in the Strix Point family also. Strix is actually quite a wide gamut now instead of taking one die and binning it to fit different power envelopes.
Strix Point gets unveils later this year
Brand new CPU arch, more advanced packaging, newer process
>IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT ! IT'S NOT !
>NOT MOGGED !!!!
lol, lmao even...
Cool argument.
Benchmarks prove you're gay.
Don't care. Playing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy on my deck right now. Even Anomaly and True Stalker runs on this thing.
My deck's been crashing randomly lately when doing anything, playing games, watching israelitetube, emulating, doesn't matter. It crashes firefox a lot too.
Any way to fix this without a factory reset?
help
SD card was the problem for me when I had this.
That might be the case then. Does it crash because the SD's read/write speeds are too slow?
Decky/Powertools used to make my Deck crash multiple times a day. This was over a year ago though.
If it crashes so much, even when playing youtube videos, you might need to RMA, it may be defective.
I just leave plugged into my TV. The Steam Deck basically makes having a console (that isn't the Nintendo Switch) redundant, especially considering I can play most of my entire Steam library and every console game before 7th gen, and some games after that. Switch is still more portable though.
>that isn't the Nintendo Switch
Nice try tendie but this shit is completely replaced by a Deck
I am no tendie. For long trips that last 2+ weeks in places with plentiful access to outlets, Steam Deck trumps Switch in every regard. But for short trips that last less than a day to a week and leave me stuck inside a car/plane, the Switch fulfills its niche for killing time with bing bing wahoo. However, if I'm on a holiday for a week, I'd rather take a Switch because it fits in a bag easier and is less power hungry. Sometimes I take a cheap backbone controller and play emulated PSP games instead of a Switch.
Thats pretty much why I like the Deck. I always traveled with a laptop, not for work, but to play games while I'm in the hotel as hotel TV sucks. The laptop plus controller combo isn't great while you're laying in bed. A handheld UMPC style device is perfect for that. I can sit in my rocking chair at home and use it with absolute comfort, can spread out on my couch, my bed at home, I can use it anywhere, have all the games I really want to play
lol
Now show The Witcher 3 running on both, now ahead tendie.
lol, doesn't the Switch runs TW3 at like 360p or something.
So does the goydeck to get 30fps on anything higher than potato settings.
Keep coping tendie
Maybe the Switch 2 will be powerful enough to run it, maybe.
>1080p resolution
On an 800p display
Yes, it is called Super Sampling, PC gamers have been doing it for ages, running the game at a higher res and downsampling to the display res, it looks better.
lolno, pc cucks have been relying on cuckscaling for years
Are you brain dead?
It's dishonest and lol mansplaining downsampling to me lmao. 400 dollarydoos for """""1080p"""""" deckbros!!!
>dishonest
Are tendies actually brain dead? How is Super Sampling "dishonest"? It is practically the best (but the heaviest) anti-aliasing technique there is.
Anyways, enjoy your "720p" (actually 360p) games, tendie.
Why do you think I'm Nintendo fan boy because it fits your gay little narrative? You're sperging out and having a mental breakdown over your "computer" it's honestly sad now. Sample my nuts gay.
oof, the switch looking like a PS2 game
>anons still using old outdated webms to be disengenous Black folk
Isn't the sound still broken? Anyway, only morons buy switch in the current year. Say goodbye to the NDS record.
ayyyyyyyy lah maooooooooo
This has been what my interest in the Deck is. But I'm worried it won't be able to play Pragmata.
LET ME PLAY MY PALWORLD ON ULTRAAA
>thread by poorgays who don't own steam decks
How did you manage to interpret that from any of the posts in the thread? Also Steam Deck IS the poorgay's UMPC. 600 quid for OLED model with 1TB storage (provided storage is installed manually) is probably the best price on the market. If you're poor just buy the 256gb LCD and install your own storage for a grand total 400-500 which is on par with a PS5.
lol i almost want to get one of these cus i need a new laptop type device
gaming laptops
are fricked with heat issues or bullshit like nahimix audio
is this any better my old y500 lenovo keeps freezing
Don't care, still playing Factorio.
>those tiny woman hands barely grasping the deck
KEK
>muh meme trackpads
Valve literally claimed so, you fricking idiot
https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck
>muh meme trackpads
Can't play civ without em
And I like me some civ
Based. I use the trackpads for strategy games all the time too.
What can those hands do baby?
Yeah and I can play that on my gameboy and I can swap the fricking batteries. Why are old retro games always the flex?
What’s the best handheld now if money isn’t an issue?
Still the Deck because it will get continued support
there's no best handheld, there's a bunch of trade-offs for everything
Steam Deck OLED with 2TB SSD, mainly because it does a fine enough job with heavy PC games and does better at low wattages compared to other UMPCs right now.
>have a win 4 with 4tb
>nooo you can't have the much storage you stupid homosexual chinkshill!!!!
>steam deck with a midget-ass 2230 sized 2tb
>Yeah that's more like it.
Deckies are moronic
meds
ok, but how long does your chink battery lasts? LMFAO
6 to 8 hours your SteamDeck is chink internally cry more
fake & Gay
Projecting isn't going to save you anon. Now show me God of War 3 native res on the deck via rpcs3
Don't care, playing slop gate 3. It's pretty alright, once you get over the gay shit.
but if fits you just right
you guys act like the Steam Deck is meant to be a nex-gen all-powerful console or desktop PC when all it has ever been and tried to be is a *handheld* gaming PC. like yeah you're not going to get top-quality performance out of a handheld. why are you disingenuously expecting a handheld to perform as well as a console or top-of-the-line PC?
God you're so stupid.
7840U gets the job done but it's a power hog, lol
Steamdeck has excellent support and trackpads. I dont give a shit about other devices because my deck does everything I want.
remember when they said there won't be updates to it for a few years?
lmfao
>his backlog has 200 games
>worrying about the 2 or 3 latest goyslop that don’t run full speed
Enjoy the 30 minutes battery life.
I played starfield on battery for 3 hours yesterday on my deck. Doubt any other chink shit can do that.
It still has the best price to performance ratio out of all the umpcs on the market. I could recommend the Ally as the only worthwhile windows alternative.Valve and AMD worked magic with that apu.
FSR3 is the panacea it needs.
>Laptop battery died recently
>Old as shit laptop with no replacement parts unless I buy "new" from China from sketchy vendors
>Look up new laptop instead, all new ones for a decent price are all either shit build quality or somehow weaker than my old lappy
>Say "frick it" and just started using my 'eck as a replacement laptop instead
Holy shit, what the frick happened with the low end laptop market? I wouldn't give a shit if I didn't need a proper keyboard for work (frick writing with the pads/screen) but damn, its dire.
I've given up on gaming laptops. I'll stick to my deck and ultrabook for travel. Much nicer having a light laptop to work with.
>almost 2 year old handheld
>being outperformed by newer ones
rly dakes u dink
FLOPPED AND SHITTED
Eh' got both, stop being poor.
>MUST CONSUME
Well I can since I am not poor.
>Normies are tech illiterate cattle
Shocking revelation...
It plays switch games just fine though.
Made for big deck
No it doesn't I've owned a Deck for over a year and love it but it's mediocre as shit for Switch emulation. Most other emulation is perfect but Switch emulation is like 45 fps tops.
That’s way better then the switch runs games
It may be better but 45 FPS isn't acceptable. I emulate Switch on PC.Any game on Deck which runs under 60fps I play on PC.
Nothing compares to the Deck in practice, it's more than just the power that makes it by far the best device.
Its so weird because while I would love a more powerful Steam Deck, I actually dont really play any graphically intense games on my PC.
Like I still see people b***hing about the "Anti-Cheat Doesn't work"... 90% of the Anti-Cheat games are Multiplayer FPS games.... You seriously want to go against M/K players with a controller? Sure you can connect a M/K to it and Dock it to a monitor. But at that point why don't you use an actual PC?
If it makes you thirdies (yes it includes you Chinese and Indian monkies) feel better about yourselves then continue to have these threads
>500 dollars
how long until someone makes pretty much the same thing for 200? im willing to wait.
lmao are out of touch are you? You'll never pay $200 for something like this. You think you'll buy a top of the line GPU for $200 again one day too right?
A couple years down the line there will definitely be a $200 Deck equivalent
What is this homie smoking?
Crack, probably.
Imagine saying there will never be a hanheld playstation.
You said couple of years, not ten years
In one year a cheap ChromeOS tablet will exceed the performance of the Van Gogh APU
>Surpassing Moore's law when Moore's law is already dead
shiggy
he will pay 200 for this in a couple years off the used market
this is the first of its kind, never be a first adopter if you cant deal with cheaper and better copies coming out in the following years
Okay Black folk, now name a hanheld pc which has better battery life than the deck, because if i wanted a 40min long battery life i would just buy a high end laptop that doesn't fries its internal storage
