I’ve been looking to buy a deck since Value launched it but I just couldn’t justify the cost of the device. However since they have dropped the price of the og model (planning on buying the 500gb) and are releasing the oled. I’ve been thinking about it more. I don’t really go out much and my computer does 90% of my gaming but having a mini computer like the steam deck just for my games would come in handy now and again. I like to have my games locked to 30 or 60 (is there vrr or is it actually not supported) because I really hate frame time dropping much more then fps dropping.

TLDR: A few questions including the two above

Is there vrr or not?

How is it as a backup computer for games?

Would you put an 100 for the hdr or oled even if you don’t use it often?

I’m planning on playing games from gamepass as well. Is there a lot of optimisation mess or can I expect windows os to play as well on the deck?

Generally what are your opinion on the steam deck and at it reduced cost would you recommend it even if you don’t use it often?

The games I play are mostly jrpg and visual novels. Would it be OK for those?
