Steam Deck OLED Unboxing! + Gaming Test (New & Improved)

[@TheRelaxingEnd]

Handheld gamers here? Please note: you can get very decent FPS (around 45-60FPS) on Spider-Man Miles Morales on this device with 1280x800, low preset, FSR upscaling and Dynamic Resolution Scaling set to 60. Slightly lower FPS with XESS. It runs way smoother now than at first. Probably due to Steam not pausing game downloads when in-game which apparently can cause a dramatic hit in performance. Make sure to manually pause any background downloads when playing on this device!

[@robottaway]

Incredible that a game like RDR2 can play so smoothly on a portable. When this game came out it was killing consoles and PCs. New tech like FSR surely helps but also a testament to long term improvements by the developers and also the state of silicon improving after just 3-4 years.

[@nbain66]

My personal best settings for RDR2 on the steam deck didn't include FSR and I got away with ultra textures. It stays locked to 30fps while looking good or 40fps with low graphics.

[@mrgamerwatch100]

⁠@@nbain66 that doesn’t make any sense, it’s only a 10 fps difference between ultra and low? If your getting 30 on ultra you should get 60 on low

[@nbain66]

@@mrgamerwatch100 Ultra textures only. Most of the other settings are medium for the 30fps setup. To hold 40 FPS you're looking at low settings with Ultra textures as well. The 16GB of shared memory is plenty to keep textures that high.

[@youreyesarebleeding1368]

As someone who pre-ordered the regular Steam Deck the day it was announced, i'm glad to see that Valve has been successful and is releasing new iterations of it.

[@eternalbeing3339]

Same. And they kept the pricing. Could have easily bumped the cost by $100 and got away with it.

[@morrisculpepper]

no, not with the internals. Too many better competitors are out now. The only thing making them remotely sellable is valves name, and the slightly lower pricing. @@eternalbeing3339

Me too, but they missed an opportunity to give it a 1080p screen and give the case a pass through for charging.

[@shabploffies]

@@eternalbeing3339don't let them know though, I'm not trying to pay more lol

[@shabploffies]

@@elusivelectronI'm not sure but I think they did that cause the drop in pixels was worth the extra battery life without really noticing the difference

[@brianporter9979]

I think the reason performance was so low in a few games (Miles Morales, TLOU Part 1) is because you are downloading games in the background. Game downloads use a good portion of the CPU! Performance should be quite a bit higher once downloads are completed

[@xdzombiezz4163]

prob right but this day and age you should be able to download and play the games imo

[@HenryThe12]

@@xdzombiezz4163You can, it’s just the nature of this device. It’s a computer powered by an APU in a thermally limiting chassis. Running intense games utilizing 90%+ of its resources leaves little room for Steam to download and write games to the disk without some compromise (in this case, gaming performance).

[@DavidBerger-g2h]

@@AsAWhiteManMarriedToALatina Steamdeck's performance is through software optimization.

[@midnightjay]

I really want this model for the improvements but I think I'm going to wait out for SD2. It's a steep price and I feel like they are gonna announce the next one not too long after this one. Consoles love to do that, have a midway upgrade then drop a full upgrade like 2-6 months later.

[@deadhardy]

they already said they don't plan on releasing SD2 until late 2025 at the earliest if not 2026. So you'll be waiting 2 years at a minimum.

[@h3ctor272]

"Steep price" It's cheaper than the old SD. 64gb version has been replaced with 256gb for the same price with better specs. 1TB version is the same as the 512gb. All the old version decks have had a price reduction.

[@PantsaBear]

Steam Deck 2 isnt coming until at earliest 2025. Also not sure what youre talking about with consoles, I cant remember a single one that got an "upgrade" and then the full upgrade 2-6 months later If youre not the type to use the Deck that much then wait, but theres always something "better" 2+ years away. Just seems pointless if youll know youre going to like it now and you can afford it (like the other person said, this costs the same as the original Deck was costing 2 weeks ago but with more storage, really not too nuts in price)
