1 940 000 x 25.32%... 500k Steam Decks? Where are the others? Didn't Valve sold over one million units already (Projected 3 millions by the end of the year)?

Did Steam grew 3X since that 132millions? I doubt that...

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: MohandevirLord of the Rings Online... On the Steam Deck... Why? Because I can. It's playable. The maps are a little on the small side, some parts are hard to read and you need to get used to the button mappings. No need of the touchscreen, if you don't want to. I wouldn't use it as a daily driver, but as a backup plan, it's better than I thought.

Prior to this, I finished a Ori and the Will of the Wisps run. Great game! I had quite a blast. I tried RDR2, but even though I recognize the quality of the game, I can't seem to get the hang of it... Probably my ADD. Else, I dusted off some Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max. All on the Steam Deck or on my desktop via the Steam Link app on my Nvidia Shield.

Ha, I spent the effort trying to get D&D Online to work on the Steam Deck, but the controls are definitely intended to be with keyboard and mouse.

Elder Scrolls Online wirks pretty well on it though! I also keep meaning to try Star Trek Online on it.

Aaaah! D&D Online... Got fond memories of this one too. The combat system is a thing of it's own and pretty awesome. Unfortunately the quest system was often a show stopper, for me, when it came to the longer quests that I didn't have enough playtime to finish.

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:)

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-SWFT309-Graphics-RX-67XLKWFDV/dp/B0BCL3L6ZG/ [External Link]

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.
