Price is ok IMO, provided it performs close to AMD R3 4350G APU in games, like even 60-70% of its performance would be great as well. Not to forget, there are a lot of low requirement PC games which will run on it, surely not latest AAA titles.64 gb is too low for games and its very costly imo
But dont you think 64gb storage is too low for atleast AAA games Yeah its good if you play indies.Price is ok IMO, provided it performs close to AMD R3 4350G APU in games, like even 60-70% of its performance would be great as well. Not to forget, there are a lot of low requirement PC games which will run on it, surely not latest AAA titles.
R3 4350G has RDNA 1.0 gpu i think, steam deck has RDNA 2.0 ( the same arch as AMD RX 6xxx series).. I dont think even 5xxxG series processors have RDNA 2. Correct me if im wrong, AMD has been very dodgy with thisPrice is ok IMO, provided it performs close to AMD R3 4350G APU in games, like even 60-70% of its performance would be great as well.

I can see battlefield 3 picture in the video, which did have punk buster. But maybe it was just a promotional thing. Regardless I doubt this is a device meant for multiplayerMost people already have plenty of games on steam and getting this seems like a no brainer. Especially if they are planning on making all Windows games work like they claim.
If you have dark souls or skyrim on Steam, makes no sense to buy it again to play on Switch.
Only doubt I have is how they will manage anti-cheat. This runs SteamOS 3, which is based on Arch Linux. Steam on Linux uses Proton to run Windows games, but Proton does not support anti-cheat yet. Which means that games like PUBG, Apex, Rainbow Six might not run. But let's see if they have some solution by December.
This should be in technology news. This is like Nintendo switch but 100 times better.Steam Deck is here. Starting $399 for base 64 GB. Shipping December 2021.

Except that 64GB variant has eMMC storage unlike nvme for higher ones.Yes 64 GB is too low but you can always expand with a micro SD.
GPU is better than R3 for sure. It is running at 720p, must be targetting 30 fpsThe page says it can run AAA games as well. Is this due to small screen size? It seems difficult for r3 to run all that. Also, is the GPU same as the one available with r3 ?
Perhaps there will be graphical concessions but let's see once more objective reviews come up.The page says it can run AAA games as well. Is this due to small screen size? It seems difficult for r3 to run all that. Also, is the GPU same as the one available with r3 ?
Done.This should be in technology news. This is like Nintendo switch but 100 times better.
@whitestar_999 @Desmond David please move this to a new thread.
I don't think this is a huge issue when you have the ability to play your entire steam library on the go.GPU is better than R3 for sure. It is running at 720p, must be targetting 30 fps
It will have a 5W SoC maybe, so let's see how it performs.R3 4350G has RDNA 1.0 gpu i think, steam deck has RDNA 2.0 ( the same arch as AMD RX 6xxx series).. I dont think even 5xxxG series processors have RDNA 2. Correct me if im wrong, AMD has been very dodgy with this
