My one big complaint is battery life. 2hrs for most games. Its a great at home device... but on the go and car trips are a hassle. There are battery extenders but they make an already chonky handheld into a 15lb brick.
- mizzack 4y agoPart of the fun is tuning both in-game and Deck performance settings to squeeze out as much as possible. It's an art of tradeoffs. Many less demanding games can run with a ~7w TDP limit at 60fps without a hitch at full detail. This yields massive battery life improvements. For modern AAA games you'll probably have to frame cap 30-40fps and lower detail settings in-game.
- weard_beard 4y agoGood advice. I haven't really dug into the settings as much as I should.
- Miraste 4y agoIt'd be cool if Valve had a shareable "common power settings" similar to how the Deck works with Steam Input.
- robben1234 4y agoIt is honestly the only thing that is missing for me as a daily Deck user with dozens of games from the backlog finally getting installed and receiving attention.
- rmckayfleming 4y agoYea, I was playing Wolfenstein New Order on it and was shocked at how well it ran. Easily made 60fps with battery life projected at well over 3hrs. Setting the refresh rate to 40hz helps a lot too.
