AbsolutSurgen Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Just now, Spork3245 said: No, it’s not bizarre: most games don’t scale memory usage in this way, however, this is part of TechPowerUp’s standard analysis of a new games performance. When they don't scale, it's useful info. Because you can tell if those settings will fit in the VRAM on your graphics card. Or, is there another reason to show it?

This is quite literally the only game I know of that scales memory usage in this way. That’s why they were surprised by how much VRAM was being used, yet seeing no performance difference between an 8 and 16gb 4060. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I'm not enjoying playing games on consoles now that my deck spoiled me. I can play games much longer laying down in my bed on the deck. I was finding it uncomfortable sitting in a chair playing PS5 today. But I'm going to continue the game tomorrow morning. I'm playing a few games on the deck that is taking a lot of my time. But so far Outlaws is definitely interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Played another hour tonight. Did the next couple of story missions and went out into the open world. There's plenty of random events and encounters... I wonder how varied they are. There's also a rather strange... "eating mini-game". I don't really get the point of it, but it's there. Really diggin "living in Star Wars." I thought I was recording this session but I wasn't weirdly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not in the mood to sit and play my PS5. It's unfortunate really. The deck has completely spoiled me. I'll definitely get back to it.

Yes and I even game on a 65" OLED. I just get so comfortable laying in bed playing the deck. On console the most I can play at a time is 2 hours. On my deck, I can easily play 4+ hours.

Brian Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Since I am on vacation, I was playing it on my laptop, but I really don’t like sitting on a chair during vacation. It starts to feel like work to me. Luckily I got the ROG Ally and it runs well and looks ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 With all of my various minor issues, I can really only comfortably play games while sitting straight up (either couch or desk chair), controller in lap, looking at a screen directly in front of me. That’s a big reason why I ended up returning my Deck, handhelds just aren’t for me any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a different couch experience because I'd lay down on mine everyday after work to watch movies and couldn't get a great angle. But I'm an idiot.

Greatoneshere Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 People game based on maximum comfort? I play comfortably whether on couch for console or on desktop PC in a gaming chair but playing games at max graphics and audio-visual splendor will always easily trump comfort for me.
