Dolphin doesn't even need to be on Steam, anyway. The team just needs to continue to optimize for the Steam Deck... For the rest, Emudeck got you covered.

Valve probably just wanted to play safe. I'm not really surprised by Nintendo's attitude, either; the Steam Deck is a better Wii.

Quoting: F.Ultra

Quoting: mrdeathjrWell if rtx 4060ti is a fail in various levels, this card join to same group

Personally seems better rx 6700 10gb or 6700/50 xt 12gb and back to rx 7600 as rtx 4060 ti/non ti are stupid cards with stupid price

:smile:

The 4060ti is a major fail because it performs basically equally to or even in some instances worse then the 3060ti so it remains to see how the 7600 stacks up against the 6600 (non xt).

It seems, as per Phoronix benchmarks and the Ars Technica review that I just read, that it's a "normal" generational leap. Nothing extraordinary. It safely compares to the RX6600XT. Ars seems to think that it regularly beats the 12Gb RTX3060 and RX6650XT... Probably on Windows...

Edit: PCGamer has the same conclusions, as per benchmarks, but RT is a major weakness with AMD. If turned off, it sails past the RTX 3060. Personally, I couldn't care less. It's the first thing I do when I start a new game. :grin:

Let's hope there is a difficulty setting, because it's my kind of game. I had quite a blast playing through Ori and the Will of the Wisps which is really close to Hollow Knight, but I had to use a cheat to finish the latter. I'm too old/too bad and I don't have enough playtime to "git gud". These are awesome games with lots of atmosphere and story telling. I like that.

I don't know what is happening, but the like button seems broken...

Quoting: MohandevirI beg to differ. Paying more than 300$ for a GPU is nonsense, for my part. I much prefer the RX7600 at 269$ to the RX6700. Let's wait and see the benchmarks, but usually, generation to generation, the RX7600 should be close to the RX6700, performance wise, at a much lower price... And I'm a 1080p gamer. This GPU seems like a perfect match for me.

300us is too much. only consider 300us but for 16gb like arc A770

respect price RX 6700 non xt can help, have similar tdp of rx 7600 and give 2gb more of vram for.............269us (what a amazon trollin rx 7600 launch :woot:)

because if actually 8gb is doa for higher texture presets in lastest games

:smile:

Ah! I see what you mean, but it's not the same price on Amazon.ca. Much closer to 350US$.

Edit: The other thing that I look forward to, are the benchmarks for RT. Might be better on 7600... Maybe.

The one I was waiting for! Really decent price. Kind of a no brainer, imo.

Edit: That was before seeing the price drops in older GPUs. Didn't check since I had my Steam Deck... Not sure anymore. I can grab an RX 6600 for 330$CAN or a 6650XT for 380$CAN. Let's wait and see (269$US~375$CAN). Mmmm...

Nope! Everytime I think about replacing the screen, I think about the batterie's autonomy. Doesn't make sense unless you plan on using it docked and even then, the apu will struggle... Nope! The best thing to do is wait for the Steam Deck 2 and use the VibrantDeck plugin, in the meantime, imo.

Quoting: F.UltraImmersion also want the court to forbid Valve from selling more Steam Decks and Index:es.

There. You have it. Everything happens at the same time. Asus releases the Ally with a big marketing push from Asus and Microsoft for a garbage experience handheld and Immersion patent trolls Valve to stop them from selling the Steam Deck. You'll tell me it's not all coordinated?

They know it's impossible to beat the Steam Deck. Microsoft wants to burry it and probably kill the handheld market.

Afterall, for MS, gaming = Xbox, not PC.

That's what I think.

Edit: If they succeed in killing the Steam Deck, the Ally II will not be sold at 700$ and it's going to be the end of handhelds. They are probably selling it at a loss because of M$ money.

Quoting: elmapuli know that will sound like conspiration theory, but.. who else thinks microsoft is behind this?
that seems like an familiar situation, microsoft funding someone else to sue...

And it happens days after the ROG Ally launch... Mmmm...

Not really versed in patent stuff, but most of these are just concept with no actual design... Like putting words on already existing concepts and turning them into patents... For trolling.

This is another good example of Microsoft being unable to be a leader. It never saw this coming. It just reacts when it feels threatened... One more reason to stick with Valve; They are the only one able to kick Microsoft's butt into action!

Kind of impressive the way that article's writer managed to spend half the article talking about suspend/resume without ever admitting that the Ally running Windows does not have it but the Steam Deck does.

It feels like lots of paid reviews have been published, in the first days of official announcement. Since then, lots of critics, underlined the major flaws of the device (even hardware and heat issues, in some cases). In retrospect, if you want a good handheld experience, the Steam Deck is still king. If you want a mini pc or a laptop replacement (meaning docked or wired), the Asus Ally might be the deal. The batteries are barely usable on that thing. Who would have tought?! Duh!
