I have a gaming pc with a 4090 in the other room. I never really stream to the deck, but I’m wondering if that’s how I should be playing the games all the time?
Would it make a big difference with the 90hz OLED steam deck?

I don’t have a 4090 but a quite powerful RTX 3070 laptop.
I tried streaming with moonlight on my oled deck: Hogwarts legacy, Diablo 4 and R&C Rift Apart. HL and D4 just look bad on the Deck even with streaming. I think these two games just look bad at 800p no matter what gpu you have behind (they both look great on a 1080p screen). And BTW Diablo 4 looks bad also if run on the Deck directly. Rift apart instead looked quite good. I think recent triple AAA games for the majority just look bad at 800p. I decided I’ll use my deck just to play indies and lighter or older games (The Witcher 3 looks good for instance). At that it is GREAT, but with recent AAA games it think it’s just better to play them with dedicated Gpus and at least 1080p screens.
In summary, I think it’s pretty useless to use a powerful GPU in streaming with the Deck. Just play lighter games on the deck directly
