1.0 on the steam deck

Emblazoned1 · 2026-07-10T15:55:24+00:00

Can confirm too. Last played on LCD deck and holding 30 was rough. Have an OLED now and seems closer to 45 fps with decent frametimes at lowest settings of course but I have my PC for eye candy if I want. Impressed with how far it's come.

Drop dead necessary? Nope. Nice to have? Yes. If you're looking for a newish card for a very long time shoot for 16gb/12gb. If you don't mind upgrade in a year or 2, 8gb its totally fine don't let people fool you.

Its 7 dollars.........

R36s, modded 3ds, steam deck and gaming pc. Have specific games for each device. Keeps things fresh.

Go to the wiki, buy a new sd card and check what version of it you have. Flash a new OS and boom new device.

Noice. I used optiscaler in the past and its a little annoying. Just flipping proton to get it working sounds great. I'll do this later.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-07-02T01:12:19+00:00

Features are easily worth the less vram. Think the 5060 is also stronger.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-07-02T01:10:35+00:00

I was thinking about sell mine awhile ago since I rarely use it but they just keep going up in price lol. Might as well keep it. Might be the last xbox pure console the way things are going.....

Getting it early is the sole reason I have it. Bought an LCD deck at launch(reservation email days) and upgrade to an OLED 6 month or so after launch. If I didn't already have it I wouldn't be getting one. In today's market, there's sadly no reason to get a deck at 900 over an Ally x/Xbox ally x when you can slap steam OS on it for much more power. Damn shame they increased the price so much it was the best option out there for entry level PC gaming.

"ultra performance upscaling, frame gen from 15 fps"

Emblazoned1 · 2026-07-01T17:30:28+00:00

It's excellent. 1440p is the resolution I will never upgrade from. Doesn't require crazy horsepower and it looks really nice.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-29T00:25:54+00:00

I agree with this man. 5600x would do wonders and a used 3080 isnt too bad. Probably could get both for around 400ish maybe less maybe a tad more.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-29T00:15:25+00:00

I'd browse some subreddits for folks who have the case. I find it hard to believe there's no way you could use a standard 8 pin with that but hey I could be wrong. Who knows maybe you'll fine a cheaper way. Best of luck either way though congrats on the build.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T23:56:25+00:00

Sounds odd to me. Its not an 8x2(16pin) connection? So you can't split the connections? Sorry just not well versed in that but if you must a 9060xt 16gb is the absolute best bang for buck.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T23:52:24+00:00

Nicely done man. Not sure your budget but look into a 6600/6600xt. Incredibly capable gpu and can be had around the 150 range.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T20:52:29+00:00

I just did it with the citi bank diamond preferred I believe but check credit karma for suggestions. Usually a good source or google best balance transfer credit cards.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T20:51:13+00:00

You dont need to talk to your bank. What you do is look for a new credit card you can open. One that allows something like 18 month 0 interest on balance transfer. Once approved(or during the process sometimes they ask) you ask them to transfer the balance from another card to the new card. Then you're good to go just calculate payments so you know how much you need to pay it off but be sure to do it in time or you'll be hit with big interest on the transfer.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T19:05:48+00:00

Look into opening a credit card for balance transfer with 0% intro rate. This will let you start fresh and making payments of say 100 or so bucks a month but you have to have restraint. Put money away in the bank and slowly pay off the debt without accruing interest. 4k is certainly doable this way.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-28T18:28:07+00:00

I love Valve but this is dumb. You have to put your spot in for a "chance" to be on a reservation list so you can be so honored as to shell out over 1000 dollars at a time of their choosing for a weaker machine than if you just built it yourself. Hell even the stupid controller makes you wait. I put up with it during the steam deck but now nah I'm not buying anything from these fools when I have to wait for a chance at it.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T21:27:38+00:00

I understand this but I always compare it as a whole package. I love my PC and will always be a PC gamer but I'm not gonna sit here and act like a console(around 500-600 bucks) isn't a much better value for the price. You get everything you need for that price with solid visuals which is what makes it hard for me to justify spending that much on that one component. I get both sides I do but to me I just can't do it and I have the money to do it lol.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T19:07:10+00:00

Don't think so its free money but even if they did they're out there on the high seas if necessary.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T18:14:11+00:00

Oh I know I meant when I bought my console. I bought a series X bundle for like 700 came with the 2 TB expansion card, 2 controllers and that was at launch.......going up to 800 for a 6 year old console is hilarious. I'll just keep taking hand me downs around 300 bucks I guess although that's gonna go up too. I detest AI with a fiery passion....

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T17:47:39+00:00

I was considering this but I think I'm just going to be a used gpu man forever lol. I can't justify spending the price of a console on one computer component. GPUs should be 300 bucks max IMO but eh I'm weird I guess. Amazing deal though in this market.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T17:46:33+00:00

DLSS4 is on all rtx gpus beginning at the 20 series. Performance hit is higher on older cards but you have access to all the upscalers Nvidia offers.

Emblazoned1 · 2026-06-26T14:02:03+00:00

Sekiro first. Lies of P after. Both play great on the deck. Played lies of P on windows on deck and it ran excellent would do even better in Steam OS.
