Buying A Steam Deck In 2024…

[@justind.gsstuff6557]

I would just like it known that I got the release date of the steam deck wrong... And I should be tossed into the void for it 😔

[@smitmiras]

I knew the steam deck was old but 4 and a half years 😂😂

[@FredMorgan-gb5el]

I haven’t got the steam deck and I have got a Odin 2 a really powerful handheld android device and saving up for the rog ally x

[@trill625]

I have both steam deck & Rog ally x, steam deck is 10 x better, the interface alone is better not to mention the track pads etx.

[@NothingCoherent]

I'm watching your video from a docked steam deck connected to a monitor and keyboard. It has replaced my gaming laptop. I'm very happy we have a genuine windows alternative for gaming now. Valve is killing it with this thing.

[@AdamUngier]

Did you set up dual boot with clover?

[@davidbrown6976]

@NothingCoherent what size monitor are you using?

[@NothingCoherent]

@@davidbrown6976 Believe it or not, I have my Deck connected to a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide Samsung G8. I use my Deck as a retro gaming / emulation / web browsing device, and this works very well. However, do not expect to play anything even slightly modern at such a high resolution on a Steam Deck. It will do 1080p okay, but nothing higher.

[@AlexandruT1987]

Yes, if you have a medium-high end gaming pc to back it up on heavy hitters. The Steam Deck Oled is also only the one to recommamd if you want a beautiful screen experience.

[@carontorliak2760]

This is exactly why I bought a steamdeck instead of a rog ally x or lenovo legion. I have a 3080 in my main rig that can play almost anything (for now). If I want high fidelity and an immersive experience, I will play it there; but now that I am busier and going to school, the steam deck is enough to tame my short burst gaming cravings. Even as a "

[@cuteAvancer]

​@carontorliak2760 He's literally me. It's also just the most insane emulation machine known to man. It can perfectly play your ps3 and switch games and everything else under the sun. I mainly got it for the haptic touchpads over the others lol. (And oled is so pretty.)

[@kubanowskyy]

Got myself oled, don't regret it tho I was thinking about getting it for quite a while.

[@kons3810]

I was thinking about getting one and hearing about its emulation capabilities from you might have sold me on it. If I get a dock for it I'll have a portable setup for (probably) any fighting game Id wanna play at a tournament. Now I just have to wait til I can fit it in my budget lol

[@hornantuutti5157]

It is still running most games just fine. And if you got desktop you can always stream and enjoy steamdecks awesome controller support. Using strealing it works also as controller. and being so cheap there is literally nothing to compete with it.

[@kiitaclyzm]

i tend to play more indie/low spec games and the steam deck has been a godsend for me, i have almost 280 hours on balatro, and if i need desktop functionality i can switch to desktop mode and set up my tv mouse and keyboard through a usb hub

[@PoiseMuncher]

Steam deck doesn't compete with ur laptop or desktop while windows handheld feels like inferior versions of ur full fat pc!!

[@ghostgamingxd7881]

okay Mr negative

[@jeinnerabdel]

My laptop died and all I had handy was my Steam deck... Let's say that in 2 weeks I made enough money working from my Steam Deck to buy a new gaming laptop. The deck is pretty powerful for it's form factor

[@AdamUngier]

How did you make money using it?

[@Jasmin1990z]

Try legion go next. 😁

[@TheRoyalTamarin]

GTA V is amazing on steam deck... except now it's no longer playable. The biggest issue with the steam deck isn't even because of valve or the steam deck, it's because of anti-cheat, non-linux compatible games and anti-consumer decisions made by publishers. Such a shame, buck luckily it's only a select few games, and the majority of the games are games I would never play anyways.

[@MrTophatreaper]

I bought it when it came out. Im barely using it now and all i see is on yt are "steam deck in 2024" videos 😂

[@AdamUngier]

How come? Do you also have a pc or a console?

[@KushKats420]

Definitely worth it I bought one during the summer sell Even though I got the 512 lcd it's still one of the best buys I've already put like around 500hrs on the deck already

[@hornantuutti5157]

I bought 64gb lcd when they launched. Upgraded to 1tb ssd and even though i have 5800x3d / 7800xt desktop i mainly use the deck. Fps games are for desktop but i literally love this thing.. If it breaks i will brops buy new deck simply for the os and controller support.

[@seanjohnson8337]

I mean 3-4 hours is a crazy amount of time, I can’t remember when I sat down and played a game that long straight through.

[@mosillestshuffler]

Rdr steam deck 9hrs yesterday, docked set up with TV and steam controllers.....the rabbit hole goes deep with steam.

[@the_courier_live]

The Crashing is defiantly NV's Fault. But all you need with out really modding is the 4GB patch. You can get NVAC if you really want to. 4gb patch should be enough.

[@vulfreyde]

6:18 - Didn't put it on the screen :(

[@DominatorGarage]

I've been playing total war med 2, rome remastered, and atilla on it comfortably. super fun.

[@xbz24]

even if its buggy, I love it, real worth it!!

[@Kakki82]

Been wanting to emulate sever since I got my Deck but will I get in trouble by downloading such roms?

[@khakishark]

haha bro I love the fake-outs you do so that we think you are going to state a fact but then it is just your opinion. "it became one of the best games... that I have ever played." "however, it is so expensive... that I will never own it."

[@melodicsatisfactionproductions]

6:08 switch to Proton version 6 and it won’t crash. When I played FNV I had the same issue until switching the proton version to that. Now it rarely crashes. Hope that helps

[@ZanJupiter]

So is it worth it in 2024? I had a lcd steam deck but sadly it was stolen and now looking at the oled model as an upgrade.

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

Sadly

[@dfhfhjd6158]

sorry to hear that :(

[@ZanJupiter]

@@dfhfhjd6158 it’s all good but thanks :)

[@hornantuutti5157]

I got 5800x3d / 7800xt desktop but i still prefer my lcd deck instead.

[@sacredsecrecy9620]

DAMN, I can't even imagine my devastation over any of my precious stuff getting stolen 🙈 I feel ya. But in that case you might as well give the new Steam Deck a shot for the better WIFI, screen and battery life that it offers. But if you still had your old one I'd have advised you to just keep it at that since the differences aren't THAT major after all. I have the OG Steam Deck myself and am still thoroughly enjoying it. If it holds up another few years I'll just jump straight over to Steam Deck 2 to make the purchase worthwhile.

[@heronik79]

I have a Steam Deck, i love it because it was my first introduction to PC gaming and the best i could get. There are problems, to this day, i have some weird problem with the internet where it just doesn't download at full speed it can and 5g internet just stops working for no reason which is annoying when i want to download a big game (which i often do). I have an LCD model that i bought some time ago so it might be an issue with my device instead of Steam Deck in general. I might buy Steam Deck OLED so it probably would help with few things i don't like (internet issues, loud fans cause i'm so sensitive to sound and don't use headphones, battery life... That's all my problems with Steam Deck tbh also bugs but that's software wise)

[@Super_Voyager]

The Steam Deck actually runs some more heavy PS3 games, so far i've tested Armored Core For Answer and Gundam Dynasty Warriors and it runs almost 60 fps locked

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

I love the price of this device

[@DraftPickieo]

How did u play GTV 5 on steam deck?

[@warrenbadze]

The steamdeck came out in 2022 not 2020 😂

[@pimpnamedkane]

I’ve been really wanting a handheld. I mainly want to emulate ps2 games and use Xbox game pass. Do you think the steam deck is the best choice? I never used steam but I don’t mind learning.

[@atomicfir3]

Steam deck isn’t the best choice for xbox game pass since it natively runs their own version of linux. Maybe look at the rog ally but beware that the Z1 and Z1 Extreme both will destroy your SSD cards.

[@pimpnamedkane]

@@atomicfir3 I’ve seen people boot into windows on the steam deck if I did this would it be possible to play Xbox games?

[@atomicfir3]

@@pimpnamedkane you could but it just significantly decreases performance and then you also have to work with windows on a handheld… so no more “turn on and play” and be right where you left off.

[@pimpnamedkane]

@@atomicfir3 okay thank you so much for this advice. I have a modded switch running Linux and I’ve been able to play games through the google browser. Hopefully it’ll be the same.

[@AdamUngier]

@@pimpnamedkaneyou can set up dual boot with clover so you dont give up steam os completely

[@aaroneldreth]

Do the PTM7950 and Jsaux vented backplate mods, which solves your loud fan issue.

[@abrahamabdul1160]

I have a steam deck. I don't know what the hell to do with it 😂 I would like to connect it to a pc monitor so I can buy more steam games and see where this journey goes

[@hornantuutti5157]

Buy a dock and do just that? Works just fine mate.

[@mattihp]

Xbox and most ps3 is more than fine xbox 360 takes lots of work, but will likely work as good soon.

[@rubencamps6689]

I installed wow on my steam deck and I play it only besides having a pc ps5 series s or switch

[@chumbusthings]

The Deck is amazing but I’d say for anyone looking at a handheld PC now should at least consider saving the little extra for a refurbished/open box ROG Ally, the extra bit of Performance, AFMF2 and Windows gives it the edge in my mind. Great Video btw, subbed!

[@hornantuutti5157]

Windows? Really? Lol it has more umbh but steam os has no competition.

[@sacredsecrecy9620]

You're crazy. Windows is a platform I, as a customer with some self respect, have been actively avoiding and am definitely leaving for good by the time the Windows 10 support runs out. And you're seriously highlighting Microsoft's newest Spyware 11 as an advantage?? 🤣 Sheep be sheepin', as usual... 🙈

[@degenerate8228]

Get windows 11 LTSC

[@davidbrown6976]

SD oled is great, but it is absolute trash when docked.

[@AdamUngier]

Why do you say that? Is it the performance?

[@davidbrown6976]

@AdamUngier yes, it takes a nose dive when connecting to a monitor or TV when docked.

[@AdamUngier]

@@davidbrown6976 I mean it depends what resolution you use once docked, if its 1080p or above it may struggle depending on the game, use fsr whenever you can :)

[@davidbrown6976]

@AdamUngier fsr is not enough. I would fair better with a Ally X or Legion Go when docked. I love the SDeck's handheld almost console-like seamless experience though.

[@AdamUngier]

@@davidbrown6976 I completely get where you are coming from, the price difference is considerable though

[@abcdoooabcd]

i bought oled aweek ago

[@hornantuutti5157]

Enjoy mate. I got the lcd model and i love it
