Oh crap! Personnally, it doesn't really matters, but it's going to be a hard sell for my son who's a EA Sports "addict".

Is this to clear the remaining stocks of the last lcd model to prepare for a lineup "adjustment"? :wink:

That would be cool, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Nice looking game... Local multiplayer with splitscreen could gave been nice though... Still, for the price, I'm not going to complain too much.

I did the unthinkable! I bought the 8gb version!
I should be banned from gaming... :wink:

This said, I had the firm intention of buying the 16gb version but, at this moment, it sits at 540$CAN... I found the Sapphire pulse 8gb for 390$CAN. Quite a steep difference!

Sure it should be called the RX 9060, but boy this card is rock solid. I run Jedi Survivor at ultra preset (no raytracing) at 1080p and it doesn't break a sweat. No stutter, no lag. Solid 60fps. Cyberpunk 2077, with similar graphic settings, same kind of performances.

No regrets.

I totally get the point of a removable battery. That's the first thing I would do to use my handheld docked. I destroyed my Steam Deck battery because I tought it was safe and left it docked for quite a while (now 65% battery health). That was before the 80% max charge option.

But still having to buy a battery as an option... What a weird and bad idea!

And I will never get tangled in that cable and will never get it stuck in an armrest or table corner... :huh:

Oh! Wow! A Steam Deck only version?

A native Linux version or a Windows stripped down one?

Anyway, looking forward to compare the download sizes of both versions. It will probably take much less space and have better performances on the Steam Deck once every useless "assets" and options are removed.

If so, I like that!

Hard pass. I want my handheld to be as cheap as possible. I already have a PC to play more demanding games; I just stream them to my Steam Deck if it can't run them locally or when I dock my Steam Deck to play in my living room.

Edit: It doesn't mean that I wouldn't like my Steam Deck to be more powerful, It just means that I'm not willing to pay a premium for that.

In the following weeks/months, I would like to see Valve leak benchmarks using a custom Ryzen ai max+ 395 (core count? minus ai?). :happy:

The Steam Deck had many apu iterations, during its development...

Whatever they release, it better be more powerful than this "fremont" device.

It all depends on the targeted price tag. 8gb of Vram is clearly not enough, it should be 16gb or 32gb and it should support FSR4.

With this, it could be a competent entry level console priced like a PS5. I've been playing on a Ryzen 5 3600 with RX 6600 for the last two years and I didn't feel the need to upgrade.
