The Steam Deck performs on par with a PS4. It can run lots of recent AAA games if you turn the graphics down.
Comment on When work has you travelling but there's ARC to be raided...

How does your steam deck not explode from that?? I assumed ARC was like, heavy as fuck?

The game runs great. The deck does get quite warm… I drop FPS to 30 instead of 60 and for extended sessions I put a cup of ice (when at home, a freezer pack) behind the deck to help cool down the intake air.
5 rounds and no issues thus far!

I got a go s z2go (comparable to steam deck) and im suprised whenever it runs something that seems kinda heavy smoothly.

people seem to think the steam deck is a potato. you’d be surprised at what it can handle with decent or lower graphic settings.

As long as you stay on the small screen. In TV mode, 3D games will stutter or look ugly or both. I stick to pixel art mostly for this reason.

Not true. My stepkid uses it docked at home all the time, using a 34" wide monitor. Never has any issues.

I couldn’t even get Visions of Mana to run at decent FPS, not even on potato settings, and that’s really not AAA graphics material. Expedition 33, same thing. Everspace 2 runs ok, but with settings turned way down, and it really doesn’t look pretty anymore on my TV. I definitely cannot get anything visually comparable to, e.g., a God of War of Horizon to run at the performance my ps4 ran those.
There’s a lot of cool 2D games, it’s fine for those. I’ve stopped trying with the other things.
