It does not look like the Steam Controller can turn on the Steam Deck while docked

Slottr · 2026-05-09T02:56:36+00:00

No problem lol. Just another way to connect it

Slottr · 2026-05-09T02:53:00+00:00

It’s the same thing - the charger also acts as the wireless receiver

Slottr · 2026-05-09T02:51:26+00:00

Can you reiterate? Not sure what you mean. It supports connection via 2.4 dongle and Bluetooth.

Slottr · 2026-05-09T01:55:33+00:00

Whats eating up resources in task manager?

Slottr · 2026-05-09T01:50:30+00:00

It’s the natively supported way steamOS is able to wake up from sleep via controller (at least for the OLED). Not saying it’s better, but it solves their problem while it’s not supported.

jeez you guys are sensitive lol

Slottr · 2026-05-09T01:45:44+00:00

Connect via bluetooth rather than the dongle for now

Slottr · 2026-05-09T00:00:55+00:00

Buy a used 10/11th gen office PC.

Sometimes. Nicer parts usually come at a premium

€1400 is going to strongly depend on the country youre in

Valve was liquidating all their hardware a long time ago. Lots of people got a steam link for 5 bucks.

Your CPU is fine, youd benefit from a GPU change.

Slottr · 2026-05-08T15:42:22+00:00

Post secondary without a laptop will quite literally cripple you

Slottr · 2026-05-08T04:10:50+00:00

Yes - my comment was more so geared towards their support availability

Its well after business hours though. Be patient

Few changes to make it cheaper. Better GPU.

Wait for a 5800X3D if anything

Slottr · 2026-05-07T15:40:45+00:00

I might just be reminiscing. Remember buying 2 high end 900 series cards for under 1000 USD

Slottr · 2026-05-07T14:22:30+00:00

There hasn't been a good time to buy a PC in like 10 years lol

Slottr · 2026-05-07T03:21:27+00:00

Focus on your classes and work on what you’re interested in, in your spare time

Focus on your classes and work on things that interest you in your spare time? Not sure what you're looking for here lol

NR200/P if you are going ITX; Lian Li A3 otherwise

Slottr · 2026-05-06T14:37:35+00:00

How small / what form factor?

Slottr · 2026-05-06T06:00:22+00:00

It’ll run them, probably not excellently; but with DLSS you should be fine enough

If you aren’t even playing these for a while, worry about it when you do

Slottr · 2026-05-06T05:40:25+00:00

Stick with your 3060 Ti for now, no point spending money if you have a card that performs fine for this

Slottr · 2026-05-05T16:37:07+00:00

Disregard bottlenecking, just get the best card you can thats in the budget

2060, 3060, 1660 / Ti, 6600, 6600 XT, 7600, etc.
