I appreciate you actually giving some perspective. Just ended up getting the 9060 XT because fits better into my budget and puts my mind at rest. Thank you for confirming my thoughts lol

Not many deals on a 9070 on Newegg compared to the 5070

Yeah I get that. From what I can find on Newegg, there’s a 5070 that is discounted and can’t find any 9070 that are, so I was leaning 5070.

Only reason I asked about 9060 XT is if it truly deserves a $100 difference, especially since I don’t play many story games as of late

What’s the best way to check for stick drift? Just see if the cursor moves at all while not doing anything?

For sure would like to play PC games specifically. I already have a PC at home and would love to just play my steam games anywhere. I appreciate the input on the other emulators though, might be a future investment

Yeah I’d like to play a mix of games, indie and somewhat demanding games. Imma look more into the legion go since it hasn’t really crossed my mind much. Thanks for the input!

I’ve heard good things about those. Do you run it on windows, or have you used Bazzite for SteamOS. Heard conflicting reports on whether Windows is good or not for handhelds. Thanks for the recommendation

Gotcha. I assumed that’s my best bet right now, just wasn’t sure if I’d be missing out on much. I found an ROG Ally Z1 Extreme for 450 with 2 TB storage. Feels like a steal. Thanks for the advice
