    As someone who uses their deck daily, big fat asterisk on “it runs switch better than switch”. It runs some better and many don’t run at all, and in most cases has performance dips even there’s a lot going on.

    I love the deck but people over blow it’s capabilities all the time. Many modern games that people claim run great also need to go for dogshit settings to get decent performance

      I mean yea, the Switch 2 is running some games at 4K that the Steam Deck can barely run at 800p. And somehow people expect the Steam Deck to emulate those better?

      Steam Deck is great, but comparing two entirely different devices for different markets is pretty dumb.

        Yeah, though, We shall see if 4k is reality. I doubt it.

        PS5 did have 8k on the box, switch 1 claimed a whole lot of 1080p that wasn’t the case. Dunno how they both didn’t lose a ton on false advertising

          They are demoing this on 4K screen for the live experience I believe. There’s probably some upscaling technologies used, no idea if anything runs on native 4K.
