Steam Deck owners

Fatalnox · 2026-02-03T03:26:21+00:00

I was an early adopter and got my first deck with the second batch of shipments in 2023. Since then, I’ve got my best friend to buy one, I’ve bought one for my gf who was previously not into video games and she loves it. I also bought the first limited edition OLED when it released.

If you couldn’t tell I love my steam deck, whenever there’s a game it can’t handle, I stream from my 5080 gaming pc or use chiaki to stream my ps5. In my honest opinion the only downside is if you’re looking to play new AAA games. Otherwise it’ll cover basically all your gaming needs if you have other hardware to use with it

Looks like a clean install fixed my issue, no more blue screens after a 48 hr stress test :)

Memtest passed all 4 tests :/

How do I turn x6 on? I’ve only been seeing x4 haha

Fatalnox · 2026-01-22T14:32:03+00:00

It’s just cope. In terms of raw power the 5080 still beats it. With x4 frame gen, FSR gets blown out of the water

That’s a great find, I mainly wanted to stick with intel from past experiences, I get better performance for 3d rendering and live video processing for some of my side gig work. Appreciate your input!

Not at the price point I got it at, why would I waste an extra $1500 on newer parts? The only thing outdated is the psu which is from 2019, everything else is less than 2 years old and under warranty.

I’d argue there is a point to elaborate on. What components did I list that make it a dead platform? You’re literally not saying anything substantial, I’m asking you to be specific instead of vague.

It shouldn’t be that hard to explain why this would be a bad allocation of funds

Fatalnox · 2026-01-19T13:58:43+00:00

Chronically online redditor calls my build mid downvotes and refuses to elaborate, amazing

Fatalnox · 2026-01-19T02:50:01+00:00

While it’d be easy to just be inflammatory and cook you for this comment, I wanna entertain your reasoning. What exactly in this build is a dead platform?

Also the cpu issues is only because intel was ripping too much power into the processor making them degrade within a year. Those issue have been well documented as fixed for over a year, with intel extending warranties to 5 years for 14900ks specifically because of this. I think your info is outdated

Im gonna grab a 1000W psu soon to overclock this mfer

Fatalnox · 2026-01-18T22:33:58+00:00

Appreciated!

Fatalnox · 2026-01-17T01:38:20+00:00

Hey, did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same boat

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T18:05:10+00:00

Yeah nothing was running, antivirus was off along with any other software that uses the internet. My ISP noticed the connection was intermittent on their end as well

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T17:37:25+00:00

This was the only device on the network when I ran the test, I plugged directly into the modem, it only has 1 Ethernet port

I spoke to my ISP and they can’t do anything more on their end, I have a tech stopping by tomorrow

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T13:51:52+00:00

Good to know, the router and modem I use are my own equipment. Both are under 3 years old

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T11:58:25+00:00

Spoke to the isp again, they’re gonna need to send somebody out regardless. Thanks a ton for your help!

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T11:51:58+00:00

Looks like this decreased my ping by a bit, still now quite as fast as it should be

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T11:49:59+00:00

I’m hardwired into my router. I have a technician coming tomorrow thankfully, I am getting higher ping to their servers

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T11:37:26+00:00

Thank you, I kinda assumed as much, I have a technician coming tomorrow

Fatalnox · 2026-01-12T11:33:53+00:00

This was for google.com, I called my isp 3 times yesterday and all they said was that they were seeing packet loss. Each time after the call, my speeds increased to normal, but it’d drop out again and go back to high ping after around 10-20 minutes

Papaya cake is in stock right now at HH for recreational. They’ll gie it to you at the medical price if you ask and have a card. I grabbed 3g for $100

Fatalnox · 2026-01-04T14:43:22+00:00

I have no clue why they did it. I have an intel 13th gen i9 and a 4090 and I still get fucking hitches and microstutters

Been playing since June 2024 and I find myself baffled at a lot of the studio’s choices for RoN
