Steamdeck Oled VS Switch Oled

[@PixelShade]

One thing worth noting about the Steam Deck is that unlike the Switch very few game developers have actually optimized their game for the handheld form factor. Valve knew about this so offer optimization tools to the end in order for them to have full control of battery life and noise levels. I personally have no experience with the OLED model (and the TDP levels are different from the LCD model), but on the LCD model it seldomly makes sense to run the device above 10W TDP, Because the Steam Deck is most efficient at 5-10W, after that you get very little extra performance back for all the power drain and added heat. A lot of games scale beautifully, if they only need ~5W they will only draw 5W power... But then there are games/game engines like Cyberpunk, where the game engine itself uses every last bit of power to keep the CPU "busy" in order to maximize performance on desktop computers. This is of course terrible on a battery driven handheld. So even if you lower settings, it will always draw all the power it can from the battery. Increasing noise levels, drastically reducing battery life. Even if you can't experience the performance benefits. To put it really simple. If a game makes the fan spin loudly or drain your battery quickly, open the performance tab, add a TDP limit. and start reducing it, if the game performs poorly, reduce settings, perhaps add an FPS cap at 40- or 30fps. This will drastically improve battery life and noise levels. :) Hopefully devs will target the Steam Deck in the future, and not only target the full 15W but rather the more reasonable 5-10W range.

[@lunawolfcrossing]

Pinned your comment because I think this is really helpful especially if anyone is experiencing any issues as you said with games like cyberpunk with the earlier steamdeck struggled with , one I'm currently trying to optimise for myself is god of war 2018 off the bat it doesn't run amazing for me but I'm also trying to see both sides of the coin as the difference between this screen and say my PC monitor is vast

[@UEGGOTH]

Really good video. Made me remember that I have a Switch and it literally sits in front of me on my desk. Turned it on, tried Doom and it took forever to load and I now realized that I really don't like how the joysticks are on the joycons so, gonna try to sell it I guess. I love the heck outta my Deck!

[@lunawolfcrossing]

Thank you so much! I haven't tried Doom on Switch but its really good on deck runs well. I am glad I'm not the only one who loves my deck more

[@That1PissedOffBoomer]

Fuck the Steam Deck, the switch will always be a better system.Nintendo was first to boot. I had a steam deck half the games. I wanted to run it wouldn't run. I ended up selling that piece of shit because I didn't want to deal with games that were only optimized to run on the Deck. Oh, what's that you wanna play games that weren't designed to run on the deck that doesn't say runs. Good on deck. Well, fuck you, then you can go play that shit on a computer, no fuck you valve, I will keep my PS5 and my Switch.Thank you. You can shove the pc crap up your ass.You elitist motherfucker

[@DeathJerrie]

I love my Steam Deck so much. :) I am always glad to hear other people enjoy theirs too. My first reaction when I got mine 2022 was sheer awe. I hadn't realized PC got this good! Holding something this compact and portable and playing through all of The Witcher 3 was an amazing experience. I remember putting the Steam Deck into the hands of friends to show how stable the FPS were and how good the game looked. And since then it got so much better. The Deck had some bad growing pains on the software side in the beginning (game compatiblity, features not working as intended, etc.). The OS was new and needed bug fixing, but with the constant support from Valve it got really good over time. Great video! :)

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@DeathJerrie another thing I've loved since getting it is the company themselves seem really good not only with fixing consoles but with how the company itself is run with allowing mods makes for a really nice experience. And yes the way games run so smoothly it makes it my first console to pick up it feels aps and bounds above my switch. Thank you for watching 😊

I've watched tons of videos on the steam deck and i am saving up for one now. I've been a Steam enthusiast for YEARS now, love playing games on my gaming PC & i have over 80 games in my steam library from over at least 5 years of playing on steam. It's funny 13:52 when you started clicking triggers it was like harmony to my ears lol. I've seens tons of reviews on zaddy steam deck but your clicking of the triggers was strangely satisfying lol. I'll be def getting this for the holidays & your customization of your steam deck kinda makes me want to customize mine in the future. Although i'm a simple guy. This was a really great review, cool video 😎

[@paro2210]

I love the steam deck. I remember playing for hours on the switch but my hands cramping up because of how big my hands are. I have not had the same issue with the steam deck. I bring the steam deck with me any time I travel. The fact that it doubles as a portable pc and I can sync my saves between my desktop and steam deck makes it just that much better than the switch.

I'm lucky I never got cramp with my switch but I definitely find buttons easier on steamdeck and yep definitely agree couldn't lug my pc around this is much lighter 😆

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

just an correction, the verification process is: Verified (Green) Playable (Yellow) unsuported (Red) Unknow (Gray) Playable is the easiest to understand, means you can play on the deck. Unknow refers to everything valve havent had the time to test yet. Unsuported means that the last time valve did their quality assurance, the game was not working, or maybe it was missing some features, in some cases minor features that dont affect much of the experience but they want to make sure the consumer wont be missing anything. unsuported is a bit controversial because sometimes valve test something and a few time after they tested it, an new version of their compatibility layer or some change in the game make it start working, so a lot of people say that the unsuported rating dont means anythings, while it actuall do, its just that its an immense ammount of effort to test all the games, let alone test then more than once to see if they are already working or not yet. as for Verfied, means the same as playable, except that it has an optimal experience on the deck, with things like big text fonts to make it easier to read.

[@_jerrycs_]

The Switch was great when it first came out but since the rise of handheld PC's, I don't see a reason to go back to the Switch. I preordered my SteamDeck when it first came out and never looked back. Screen looks great, face buttons feel nice, bluetooth support for almost any wireless controller, docks only cost around 20$, plus a bigger game library. I was having a good time then I discovered you can mod the SteamDeck and oh boy... there's REALLY no reason to get a Switch now. You can literally play Switch games on the Steam Deck. As well as nearly every console before it. I'm talking Switch, Xbox, PS3, PS2, PS1, Gamecube, Wii, WiiU, Dreamcast, NintendoDS/3DS, Gameboy. The list goes on and on, only adding THOUSANDS of more games you can play. Safe to say I love my SteamDeck, so I'd recommend one for anyone interested. Great video too, I'm definitely subscribing.

Hi Luna Wolf, I really enjoyed your video! I've been wanting to buy a steam deck ever since it was first announced, I had a few questions about the steam deck though 1. So I have a switch lite, a new Nintendo 3ds xl (it's modded) and I commute a lot to my college lectures, because of that I mainly use either my 3ds or switch when I'm waiting for my next lecture to start or If I have a few minutes to game. Is the steam deck good for commuters in terms of portability? Thanks for your time

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@Cosmic_Tidepod so I can only give my opinion but the only thing I would worry about if I was still at college is space in my bag in its case steamdeck is pretty big and I personally wouldn't want to lug it around all day however that's just me I had a lot of things to carry

@WulfbyYT I'm from the southeast England. I definitely find the weight more comfortable now than when I got it so I'm sure will happen fir you becomes normal after a while.

[@ElisBuenas82]

I’ve never used both of them, but something that the Steam Deck made me notice is that both analog sticks are not in the same vertical position of the buttons and the d-pad, what makes me think that you won’t suffer with accidentally touching them.

I really like the Steam Deck and I think the layout of it is amazing. The main problem I have with it is the price. The steam Deck OLED costs $689 CAD for 512gb and $819 for 1tb. Both those cost more than a new PS5 or series X. I got a really good deal for the switch lite (brand new) on marketplace for $160. Yeah the thing is a lot weaker compared to steam deck but it's just not justifiable for me to spend $700 on a handheld.

[@lunawolfcrossing]

That is a huge price to pay for a handheld CAD is a lot more than GBP and that's not far off the price for a PC so I can completely understand even for us my husband saved a year to buy me the deck and yes at the end of the day it's about what fits your budget and the switch lite is good still have mine eventually the steamdeck might drop in price or be in another sale if you ever want one.

@sylwuskak7065 my advice will always be sleep on it if after a few days a week etc you still want one then do it

[@sylwuskak7065]

@@lunawolfcrossing You know... I've been thinking about that for 2 weeks already. But I don't even know if I will play more games anyway. So even buying a second-hand Steam Deck seams like not a wise decision now. I should probably wait and try more games and decide then.

[@sylwuskak7065]

@@lunawolfcrossing After all I just bought a laptop because my current one was too bad for Hogwarts Legacy 😅

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@sylwuskak7065 if you're unsure then definitely wait definitely give some other games a go look for demos too how I broaden my genres as long as you're having fun that's what matters its super easy to get caught up in buying what's new

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@sylwuskak7065 definitely worth waiting then 😆 enjoy the new laptop!

@GokuDUchiha I like all mine I love my pc but do prefer the ease of handheld gaming

I agree!

You’re adorable

[@viniciusantunes5361]

these portable gaming PC's are prototype....5 years from now maybe the can be a good and reliable systems as nintendo's have been for decades.

[@lunawolfcrossing]

can understand that personally not had issues yet but I know early models did

[@petrsonTD]

Yes, steam deck is heavy. I don't like that as well.

[@lunawolfcrossing]

If it helps some people have said resting it on a flat pillow to take some of the weight helps!

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

Steam better

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753 definitely my preference currently!

[@MrGana69]

Seriously you are comparing this very different devices? Omg

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@MrGana69 yes because both are handhelds and I know personally I looked up a comparison before I brought the steamdeck 😊

[@That1PissedOffBoomer]

Switch all day long. I had a steam deck.I did not like it most of the games I wanted to play on it.I could not play.

[@lunawolfcrossing]

@That1PissedOffBoomer I'm glad you have the switch to play games instead what are you currently playing?

[@moose101woods7]

A childs toy or a handheld gaming pc, how is this even a question for an adult? plus steam sales, free epic games, piracy is even on the table if your willing...Switch games are overpriced and never go on sale so pay a little extra for the deck now and save thousands later in games.

[@LeKretch]

Agree they are so overpriced however I got a switch recently for the living room and there always seems to be sales on. The first party games don’t really come down but like steam sales, you can pick up a few games for a few quid

[@lunawolfcrossing]

I don't see it that way I love the Nintendo games I have but I can see the preference between PC and Nintendo it just depends on what games you play more I think

[@ozzyfanatic666]

Couldn't disagree more. Me and my adult friends all play Switch together and have enjoyed ourselves for years using that superior gaming machine. Couldn't care less about performance - gameplay is where its at!
