Thread 720439868

2 hours left until total Deck annihilation. Are you ready?

>>720439868 (OP)
Do we really still have to pretend to consolefag in 2025?

>>720439868 (OP)
I don't even know what game that is
Starfield?

>>720439868 (OP)
Top looks like shit though?
Nice try though, tendie

the deeper you dive in to the PC "master" race, the more shocking events become

>>720439941
Star wars outlaws

You can tell because the heckin cute creature that follows you around

>Trying to play modern games on Steam Deck
There's your problem!

>>720440339
...but it's $550?

>>720439868 (OP)
I think the funniest thing is Switch 2 will have years before the Playstation handheld comes out, third party games, Nintendo exclusives. It won't stand a chance

>>720439868 (OP)
>playing anything past PS2
lmao

>>720439868 (OP)
>gimping decks powerlimit
woaaaaaah nintendo 4 the winzzz even if the shit2 only has 2 gaymes.

My steam deck runs silksong at 300fps...nigger

>>720440938
Isn't Silk song an RPG maker game?

>>720439868 (OP)
weak bait nigger

>falling so far they have to resort to trying to disingenuously shitpost with outlaws of all things
Tendies are so fucking desperate to snoy it up against the deck, it's hilarious.
Deck effortlessly mogs.

>>720440453
How many exlcusives fagstation will have? Because now they can´t claim retrocompatibily, since it won´t have a disk drive.
That portable will only be bough mostly by people who got the portal.

>>720439868 (OP)
What exactly are you trying to demonstrate here? The Deck is clearly choked to 10W via the perf slider based off those numbers on top and you're running it at suboptimal graphical configuration.

>>720441427
>The Deck is clearly choked to 10W via the perf slider based off those numbers on top
what are you talking about. It's drawing 22-23W, basically the max at it's 15W TDP.

>>720441117
I think they port everything to PC sooner or later. The job listing suggests they will port to Xbox/Nintendo as well.

>>720439868 (OP)
>star wars

>>720441621
This is just a preview of what we'll get when GTA VI comes out

>>720440339
E33 ran fine, the mindbroken faggot cuck known as OP posted that video in bad faith showing a game wtih forced ray tracing on the Steam Deck, the Deck doesn't have RT cores unlike the Shitch.

>remove half of geometry
>results in less shadows, shaders, textures
>it runs better
wow

>>720439868 (OP)
Cool. Does that mean they'll announce me being able to play my steam library without having to re-buy everything with a nintendo tax?

>>720441946
>>remove half of geometry
>>results in less shadows, shaders, textures
But enough about the Deck, let's discuss the Switch 2:
>>it runs better
Yes

>>720441894
>gta

>>720439868 (OP)
Should we tell xer?

>>720440427
It ran AAA perfectly fine at medium 40-60fps in 2022. No one at Valve anticipated for optimisation to get even WORSE

>>720440453
I think the funniest thing is that people think consoles aren't either dead or just barely treading water and the switch 2 isn't totally fucked over the long term.

>>720442718
HAHAHA COPE

>>720443086
tick tock consolepleb, you chose the shittiest side and can sink with the ship

>>720443208
PC is just a cult trend for retard dickheads like you. It won't last long term.

>>720443289
The irony.

>>720441946
Also the Deck is 3 years older than the Switch 2 which will get obsolete by the next iPad refresh in a few months.

>>720442718
People have been talking about how the console model is barely treading water since the iphone App Store took off in 2008. First it was that we would transition to mobile, then streaming(or "cloud gaming" as they called it back then), then everyone will start using PCs, and these three have been alternating as the harbingers of doom for the console model for the last 20 years give or take. Meanwhile the console market has continued to grow outpacing the rest of the entertainment industry, which itself has been outpacing the economy in general. The reality is that there is a humongous demographic who will not, under any circumstance, lift a finger to configure either the hardware or software on a PC or Android device to play games, and they're happy to pay for a black box that just weeks even if it comes at a huge price premium for severely outdated hardware

>>720441934
Deck has RT cores retard. RDNA2 supports hardware RT and that functionality is fully intact in the Deck.
RDNA2 is just really shit at RT compared to Ampere hence the massive advantage Switch 2 over Deck in these games. I don't think AMD will ever fully bridge the gap with nvidia but they're getting close. With UDNA Deck 2 will perform better than Switch 2 at all power targets.

>>720443404
More to the point, the bigger problem with RT on the deck is just that radv isn't very good at it. On a desktop you'd typically use amdvlk instead for RT but amdvlk doesn't actually work with the weird integrated RDNA2 GPU on the deck.

Having better performance than a 3 year old handheld was the bare minimum expected performance for the switch 2 and it's not even a given most of the time.

>>720443404
>With UDNA Deck 2 will perform better than Switch 2 at all power targets
At what price point? Current PC handhelds have already blasted past the $1000 price point and we're not even at UDNA2. Either it will be in a completely price category or it's years away

>>720443404
>noooo the cuckdeck i spent $500 on wasn't a waste of money i swear!! I can play so many games like brotato, binding of isaac and pokemon silver! It barely even crashes causing all my data to be lost!

>>720443557
The switch 2 isn't even recent hardware, isn't the SoC dated 2021?

>>720439868 (OP)
The Deck is automatically better because you arent locked down to games that come to the platform with the switch 2 you have to hope the game comes to your console

>>720443394
We've been hearing rumours of either PC gaming or console gaming or regular gaming dying in general for over a decade know. It's totally getting replaced by mobile and cloud gaming in two weeks.
In reality it's as you say, gaming industry has been growing even if we remove mobile gaming from the equation. There'll always be a market for consoles because not everyone wants to dabble with a PC. PC itself has become somewhat complementary to consoles, many people see it as a machine that plays similar games, just better if you're willing to invest the money and a bit of time.
Gaming has solidified itself as another medium for entertainment next to books and movies, it's not going away. The confusion comes from classifying mobile gaming time wasters the same as proper gaming content. It's like calling YouTube or TikTok movies because they also happen to be videos.

>>720440339
Silksong runs fine

>>720443723
>I'm not locked into a platform! I can freely choose whether to emulate Tingle's rosie rupeeland or Ed, Edd n Eddy: scam of the century! I don't need a touch screen either because I can plug in a drawing tablet if I need to!

oh no I can't play the unoptimized sloppa UE5 game!!!!1
whatever will I do?!?

>>720443942
Anon, the steam deck has a touch screen. Are you retarded?

>>720443942
sorry anon i have no idea what you're saying

>>720443289
see
>>720443086

The console war situation must be dire if the only subject left to discuss is kids toy vs linux laptop

>>720439868 (OP)
>AAA

>>720443394
Considering 2008 was when Nintendo was selling 100 million more units of hardware, half a billion more units of software, their home console line wasn't dead, their portable at the time has still outsold the Switch, Xbox was huge and not dead in the water, Sony had a successful portable, etc. it's not exactly the same. Consoles have been going down. People just think that because Nintendo is fleecing their consumers harder than ever and Playstation is making more money off PC that consoles seem like they're doing better than they really are.

>>720443987
He's in here sucking nintendo's dick and trying to trash the far more consumer friendly platform, of course he's retarded.

Any anon interested in buying a used (probably cumstained because Soul Calibur 6's character creation was making me coom) Steam Deck... I need money to buy a Switch 2 so I can play Star Wars Outlaws Ultimate Edition (€ 129,99) with premium Ubisoft subscription (€ 17,99/month) and the season pass (€39.99)...

I
what
Starforce bros

>>720439868 (OP)
Why are you so wet over this slop and why do you care so much about PC gaming? You still haven't answered. I'm still enjoying Oblivion Remastered, thought I should probably go back and finish my Wii backlog.

>>720439868 (OP)
2 hours later my 'eck still works

>>720447746
guys please, anyone? i am worried i'm going to miss out Assassins Creed Shadows Digital Deluxe Edition (€ 89,99) on Switch 2... b-black lives matter...

>>720447746
>>720449137
bro just do a vasectomy and your wife's boyfriend will buy one for you

>>720439868 (OP)
Why are you at war with a shity mobile device? lmao

>>720439868 (OP)
You can just buy lossless scaling for 7 dollars and use it on the deck doe

>>720443942
>I can play >50 years of gaming on the 'eck? SAVE ME NINTENDOMAN AIEEEEEEEEEE
I honestly do not know what you're crying about anymore.
>>720449650
Go back.

I was considering a Deck for emulation and light pc games (pretty much 2D exclusively) but it seems I might be better off in regards to battery life and actual portability by getting a chinkheld.

>>720440427
and it's 3 years old and portable?
if you want performance you can build a pc that beats all consoles for $800

>>720439868 (OP)
Well well well....

Just borrowed the steamdeck white boys

>>720440427
In the end though, he's right. 'eck lets you run like, 99% of singleplayer games ever made. Switch 2 lets you run Switch 1 catalogue + uhh Mario and Cyberpunk and Outlaws.

>>720452267
>borrowed
nigga i know you stole that

>>720439868 (OP)
But can it run Crysis?

>>720439868 (OP)
Do I need to tap the sign?

>>720454602
hows that response time at 16 fps LMOA

>>720452267
Dis nigga thinks stealing is borrowing.

>>720454806
Still better than the switch

>>720454806
the switch 2 runs 90% of games in existence at 0 fps

>>720454817
If buying games isn't owning stealing is borrowing.

>>720443613
>crying about 2D
lmao
>crashing and data loss
literally never happens and you should be keeping backups anyways

this thread aged terribly lmao

>>720439868 (OP)
I can pirate on the Deck and the games are also cheaper.
Deck>Switch 2.

Total deck annihilation?
More like total tendie mediocrity lol

>>720439868 (OP)
Yeah but then you realize you're playing Star Wars Outlaws

>>720439868 (OP)
>Mario Galaxy 1+2
>Switch $70
>Deck $0

>>720439868 (OP)
oh nonono HAHAHAH

Whatever happend to this whole thing about the switch 2 screen?

People were posting this like crazy then it was never EVER mentioned again. Even in Switch hate threads I never seen the response time being mentioned anymore.

>>720441010
w-what?!
