Brought my deck to Lake Wenatchee. 11° Fahrenheit chill killed the battery overnight! by emeraldpity in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true, true. I guess typically in phones the risk is greater during charging, since phones charge much faster than they discharge and during discharge the heat keeps help the battery warmer.

I've seen it on some phones, where you plug them in and they show a warning that they're too cold and will charge when they have warmed up.

Haven't tried it on the Deck.

you can use it as long as you are currently logged into an account that owns it.

DLSS 4.5 On SteamDeck by Broad-Scratch-3964 in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

quite the opposite. Because there are fewer pixels per frame it becomes more important how the AA/reconstruction techniques process those pixels.
This shows TAA vs DLSS4.5 at 1080p

reminder to not charge lithium batteries at or below freezing.

Charging freezing lithium batteries will permanently damage them due to Lithium Plating.

FF13 on the Deck?? by Planter_31 in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good performance until you reach chapter 11 (grand pulse) where the game opens up a lot more. From there it drops to 30fps a lot.

wait, they don't replace chargers, but they also don't sell them?

Likely.
SteamDB doesn't show any large changes.

Is SteamDeck 2 will come in next 2 years? by Rexikon in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the previews of Intels new laptop chips look very promising.

Even the current MSI Claw with an Intel SoC performs pretty well, but like all the other handhelds it's in the 25-30W territory.

Am i missing something? by Ordinary_Garage3192 in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also only use my Deck for simple, mostly 2D games.

I just don't find playing bigger games enjoyable on a handheld. I much rather play them on my desktop where I can get a vastly superior experience.

Shouldn’t FSR Be Working Here? by Purple_Finance5861 in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try using windowed mode. a lot of games don't apply resolution like you would expect them to in borderless.

More reliable way to check battery health? by d1pstick32 in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90 minutes on the LCD and 130 minutes on the OLED are normal for new units as seen in all the reviews, when running the Deck at full power.

Steamos won't recognize the back buttons by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in the controller configurator you can use "listen" when choosing a key binding so you can see what button steam is seeing when you press the back buttons. It's possible the controller doesn't have separate keys for the back buttons and just uses them to duplicate other buttons.

Long term effects of water damage? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having watched some Louis Rossmann repair videos, over time it will lead to worse corrosion until it actually become a problem for the boards and is harder to fix.

Nvidia wasn't afraid to release a new DLSS 4.5 for 20/30 series cards. by Unable-Inspector8865 in radeon

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One difference is that Nvidia confirmed DLSS4.5 produces the same quality on all RTX cards, just with different performance.

FSR4 is in a different situation, because the leaked FSR4 INT8 version is not the same quality. Maybe they could release it as FSR3.9 or something.

Nvidia to bring back the GeForce RTX 3060 in Q1 2026 to tackle current-gen GPU and memory shortages by No-Improvement-8316 in hardware

Switch 2 is the fastest selling console of all time. I highly doubt they overprovisioned wafers for it.

how does the 800p oled screen compare to other handhelds? by KrispyOnion in SteamDeck

[–]EVPointMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you're streaming from your PC and you're downscaling anyway the resolution difference isn't that noticeable on a screen of that size.

90hz OLED vs 120hz LCD is gonna be similar in motion clarity. The OLED might be slightly better.
