Hi all!
I’m playing on an old PC and cannot play on new games due to performance issues. issue.
I like to play with keyboard and mouse.
I see a lot of good feedback about SteamDeck and I’m doubting now.
Should I buy a gaming PC or better buy a SteamDeck + dock station and relax?
I like the idea that I can take SteamDeck on trips + I don’t need to think about what PC to buy (you know. select motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc)
But my main concern is SteamDeck performance
Can I play new shooters, CyberPank, etc
Games that need a high-performance PC.
What do you think?
thanks!
Well, technically…
I really hope they release a SteamOS installer/image to install on other devices and make them into Steam machines. I’ve got an old laptop with an i7-8750H and an RTX 2070 that already doesn’t have a purpose anymore outside of gaming, so being able to drop Windows and dedicate the hardware to Steam would be great. Opening up SteamOS to all hardware is sure to be a driver nightmare, though.
Between being able to dock the Deck, the existence of Steam Link/streaming from a PC, and the complexity/cost of releasing a simultaneous second console I’m sure Valve won’t be bothering with a home console anytime soon, unfortunately.
