Yes. If I don’t sometimes the game gets studdery.
Also depends on the game, deadlock takes like 10 minutes to compile shaders for some reason. Other games I’m never going to notice a studder, or it doesnt matter gameplay wise so I’ll skip and let it do it on the fly.
So they sell the steam deck in your country now? You can probably just wait a good while for them to sell the console in your country.
If you wait long enough they might offer a barebones kit kind of like the old Intel nuks. You can get for cheaper and buy your own ram and storage. Its rumored that the failure for many ai data centers to come to fruition, will line up with the ram manufacturers getting new facilities up, will cause a crash in hardware prices. Don’t know if that means cheap ram or if it gets more expensive in the wacky economy anymore, but its something to gain or lose from when you wait long enough.
I would definately not buy from a scalper though. The thing is barely worth it to me at 700 dollars as a fan boy who would love a new toy from valve. I could not imagine paying close to double for it, or risk getting just scammed. I’m sure I could do something like a charge back, or having to get on some Ai customer support to get my money back but its not worth it to me anymore.
Pretty sure this is the guy that runs the anti Linux subreddits. He has mental health issues and is weird and obsessive.
Probably not related but the pro-ai crowd like copy’s this guys format or they work together or something because the ragebait they use is pretty much the same style/patterns that target clueless children.
I encourage no one to engage with him, don’t ignore him just if you see his name downvote and move on.
The progress that the steam frame will bring is more important than the steam frame itself.
The work they put into aarch64 will be really helpful for laptops, and potentially mobile devices. I am really hoping that for mobile phones, becauase the community that came from the steam decks popularity really made more community gaming focused fixes, and programs show up on github. There was life and hope that kind of encourages more people to give a shit or contribute to a community because they believe there is a community.
Fex is going to be the most important. Right now fex can be utilized to play red dead 2 at 720p 60fps on a midrange pocco phone. And that was from months ago when I last checked on progress. Even if we aren’t directly using arch on arm phones, fex itself can be used on Android which is still helpful.
