I haven't really had the time to play handhelds and have no interesting in getting back into it. A lesser experience on a tinier screen is a waste.
No, and pic related is why. They're frickhueg
Deck is moron huge. There are way better PC handhelds out there. Personally I find the OneXFly the best if you want great performance and small size in one.
>no touchpads
It's a handheld. You use it to emulate handheld-like games. Not fricking Counter Strike. You can't both get a decent size and track pads. I hope you realize that?
you buy a PC handheld to also play PC games.
and PC games are way better with the touchpads.
You can't get a handheld that have trackpads and a decent handheld size all in one. You need to make a sacrifice. I'd rather sacrifice the trackpads since most games play just fine on gamepad.
many games are much better with the touchpads, as in PC games and not watered down console games.
KBM games are going to be moronic on handheld with or without trackpads. I'd rather have a smaller sized handheld that isn't a massive hog to carry around.
except the games play good on the pads.
>buy PC gaming handheld
>unable to play PC games
Yes. Touchpads are dogshite. Support a gamepad or frick off with your shit game.
>unable to play PC game, only watered down console games.
>this is the games fault
Nobody gives a frick about rts, mobas, card games and all of that garbage. Any game worth playing has full controller support and is made with them in mind first
>i bought a PC handheld to play only console games, i am very smart.
don't those games have pointer support, the perfect use-case for the touchpads.
Only morons care about MOBAs and CS. Go die in Bakhmut, Ivan.
>>buy PC gaming handheld
to play PC games
You buy a PC handheld to emulate 8 generations of handheld/console games. It's great.
If you're buying a PC handheld just for emulation and not both emulation and PC gaming, that's a bit moronic.
If you truly wanted an emulation device, you can buy a powerful Android chink handheld for a quarter to half the cost.
You can't emulate PS3/Switch on those trashhelds. You need the Zen 4 cores in the 7840U to do that.
I am currently emulating God of War Collection and Wipeout HD on my PC handheld.
Good.
>2hueg
i spent my whole childhood training for the steam deck
>try to hit A+White
>thumb falls off
yes, but i still want them to exist for market competition. Both consoles and PC would be worse without eachother as competition. (with too many examples to count)
the deck feels alot better in the hands than a switch or the like.
Yeah I sold my Deck because it was too big. I wanted to like it but it's just stupidly big.
I did too. Also because the fans and battery life sucked. Upgraded and haven't looked back since then. Handhelds have been perfected through the 7840U chipset.
This board is full of onions trannies that can't do anything but b***h about deck being EnOrMoUs, because they can't say anything about its internals or features that totally dominate shitch.
They need to start working out. Nothing major.
We're all in the other thread sis

This pic is too american for me, sorry.
tiny hand weak homosexuals
No I just play on my phone, I'm not carrying around a handheld console like a child.
I can't remember the last time I saw a child playing a handheld console. They all have phones or tablets now.
Handhelds are for despressed neets who can‘t even get out of bed or busy people who travel a lot. The idea that they‘re for children is outdated
Kids play on phones, you fricking insecure child
I'm still using a gaming phone + emulating up to PS2 and switch.
Most of the newer games aren't as good...
too large to be a handheld, too weak to be a PC (or a console), why does this garbage still exist?
>b-but it's stronger than the switch!
doesn't matter, switch games are designed optimized for it
Handhelds aren't a viable competition until they learn how to play games on max settings with max brightness for at least 6 hours.
Plenty of games you can do that with already. The far majority of the PC library runs fine max settings 60 fps on handhelds.
I didn't doubt that it can do that, I am denying the possibility of it running Spider-Man on max settings and brightness for 6 hours, don't be obtuse.
When did you even mention Spider-Man in the original post moron?
I did it specifically to bait you because I knew you would concentrate on irrelevant details like that instead of what my post was about as you keep avoiding my point.
>I was acting moronic on purpose
Basically yeah. My switch is just a Splatoon machine now after I got the deck.
Yeah, wish something like the deck came out 20 years ago.
These shitty pc handhelds will be forgotten once switch 2 launches and mogs them in performance. Enjoy these last few months of relevance, steamie.
>locked down bingshit
I'm good thanks
i would like vita 2/psp 3 but snoy is shit right now so it's hopeless
Anon... there is no difference between a console and PC in tyool 2023
There are three things preventing most people from buying PC handhelds
>form factor
>battery power
>price
They are literally XBOX HUEG, last 3 or 4 hours on a single charge, and cost anywhere between $700 - $1200 or more. Once we can get decent PC handhelds that are portable, last longer than 4 hours, and cost less than $500 then we'll talk.
This
is getting there. $700 on IndieGoGo. I think when the 7840U chip goes down in price, we'll see some amazing things.
Not for me, I prefer physical games.
Handheld consoles with home console-scale games are the next step in the evolution of gaming.
>what‘s the switch
An underpowered toy that can't even maintain 30 FPS.
Well, they're not portable, so no.
I'm waiting for one to actually be pocket sized, then I'll get one. I just don't get the weird obsession with these fricking gigantic devices. What happened to the DS, psp, vita, etc? Switch showed up and suddenly everything needed to befricking gigantic.
At this point my phone and one of those cheap shitty chinkhelds gets me all the gaming I really care to do out and about anyway, and they both fit in my pocket!
>I'm waiting for one to actually be pocket sized, then I'll get one.
GPD was working on one but then it turned out to be a nuclear reactor jet engine so it kinda faded out. The most portable, performant PC handheld out there now is the OneXFly.
Can I run Hunt Showdown docked on Steam Deck at 60fps?
So, docking a Steam Deck doesn't increase power or do anything but just, well, dock it and let you put it on another display.
It will run 40-45FPS on the stable branch of steamOS, with drops any time you enter an area for the first time in a match as shaders shit themselves to pull (even with a cache downloaded). If you do fanning/levering you will see more FPS drops from the particle effects, and this is on all low settings.
3.5 helps, a lot, I get a pretty rock solid 55-60 FPS, drops only when I'm in a particularly heavy firefight (or fanning/levering, for some reason, still drops fps to shit). But no, if you need complete solid 60fps, deck won't get you even remotely close.
My computer broke and I'm considering buying the eck'. As I tend to mostly just to play older shit with the exception of hunt. How is FSR?
FSR is a good tool, but mainly useful for AAA games.
also a tool to look at as a nuclear option for AAA games is 40hz and 50hz, it's basically the best option if you want good framepacing and the game will not run at 60. Seems like a meme, but it actually helps alot.
I usually set my 'eck to 40 Hz for most games anyways just for the extra battery life.
Do you mean how's the deck's implementation? It's fine.
If you mean in general, it's okay, expect a layer of vaseline on your screen, FSR is pretty definitively worse than dlss, and even XESS, and most game's settings tuned for Steam Deck will recommend you make the change from fsr to xess if possible (in games like cyberpunk it actually gives you 10-20fps, it's wild)
it's more like 50-60, but there is no bonus performance for docking.
>people keep saying how good the decks performance is
>play a demanding game on it
>fans are loud as shit, the deck gets hot and battery life is awful
So what even is the point? You basically have to stick to 6+ year old games and emulation
>You basically have to stick to 6+ year old games and emulation
I'm struggling to think of any good game that this doesn't cover.
Those people are marketers. I use it as a replacement for my steam link around the house, and if I'm going on, say, a weekend trip out of town, it's fine to play, like you said, some older stuff and emulation. I would never recommend anyone get it as a primary PC gaming device, because firstly, linux is just not going to help you take advantage of PC gaming in any meaningful capacity. People can cope and seethe as they like but windows is and likely always will be the standard for PC gaming. Maybe as we iterate on the deck and more devs give it real support, I'll change my mind, but as is I can count on one hand how many dev studios have actually bothered to do any sort of optimization explicitly for the deck (and no, adding in button icons to hit the 'verified' status does not mean it's optimized)
The marketing speak sells it as a consolized PC, easy for anyone to "pick up and play", and they're not wrong, you can do that, but the performance is ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS without a frickload of tweaking ,downloading utilities, and choosing proper proton versions. It's sort of like early PSP cfw before official ps1 support. 3.xx m33 team stuff, where there were like 10 versions of POPSloader and you had to frick around with each of them to determine which games would run where. It's annoying but not a huge hassle and eventually just part of the experience.
The use case I see most people end up with is that the deck is an emulation machine that also happens to play some late 2010 games pretty well. I use it to play all of my shitty asiatic MMOs on a windows partition, and mod a bunch of earlier beth games, it even does skyrim okay to a moderate level of modded, but oblivion/fo3/nv are all perfect on it. I COULD do it through steamOS, but the performance hit has been way more significant before 3.5 trying to hack the mods together and troubleshoot them on linux versus just werking on windows. I get about 3 hours of life out of it with what I play, and that's fine.
Yeah. Previously I didn't use any handheld consoles. Now I don't use any handheld PCs.
I largely prefer the Nintendo Switch OLED over my Steam Deck.
The latter is a neat device but ultimately it feels more like a companion device to play some japanese & asian games I can't get on Switch as well as retro emulation.
I collecting gaming "stuff" and have
>Atari 2600, Game Cube, Sega Gensis, NES, SNES, GBA, 3DS, PSP, PS4, 360, SeX, Switch, Switch Lite, PC, Deck, Dreamcast, Wii
I spend about 90% of my game time on my Switch Lite.
