I never seen Chromatic Aberration so I'll look for that later. Honestly Horizon is my only game that struggles a bit. GOW runs extremely well and looks better, too. RDR2 is a massive game and runs flawlessly so I don't get Horizon struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you've never noticed it before you've ruined games for yourself when you turn it off because you'll see it in every game from now on.

The things I listed there are usually near motion blur above or below the main graphic settings. They don’t really improve or worsen performance they are just visual filters that ruin the visual quality.

Motion blur is to mask low frame rate games though, to make them look better. At least in theory. I think it looks bad always. Looked cool when I first saw it in PD0 though.

There is per object motion blur which actually can add to the look but isn’t used as often and it gets confusing sometimes when you aren’t sure which type. Some games have two blur settings. But yeah that’s the purpose but even at low fps, I don’t think it helps. RE4 I know for sure has a CA toggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 BTW, my deck froze up and shut off while playing GOW. I panicked and tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't do anything. My heart sank to my stomach and I was devastated. I kept trying to turn it on and nothing would happen. I felt the deck and it was really warm. So I waited 10 minutes and it turned on. I shut it down for now to let it rest. I've been playing it way too much lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t worry about overheating, even if you played 20 hours in a row it shouldn’t. It sounds like a crash and maybe it took a bit to turn on and you ended up turning it off and on a few times. I wouldn’t change behavior because of it. If it actually starts overheating like that then we could return it as that should not happen.

It shows as unsupported, so I would personally wait until Valve verifies it for deck - I’m personally skeptical but I know they did improve it a lot recently and maybe Valve didn’t go back and verify it yet.

stepee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 After a crash it does a verification process which means the boot up time will be longer - I always just wait like a minute then turn it back on. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 1 minute ago, Biggie said: Can you imagine playing Starfield on a handheld! Yes because I'm currently playing RDR2 on the deck and that is massive with no loading compared to Starfield. I'll eventually get it if it's ever fully compatible with the deck. But RDR2 looks absolutely incredible and this oled deck and it barely feels like a handheld to me. When I play it I'm laying in my bed with the screen pretty close so it's extremely immersive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Starfield is too much of a combination of ambitious and poorly coded for the deck I think. I did look at a video of someone playing in new Atlantis on the deck and idk the settings but it was hitting like 19fps at times. It’s probably 30fps outside of that and that’s an extreme but man I think it’ll be rough. Maybe if they continue to work on it or maybe when they add amd frame gen? Honestly the way it looked on even my rog ally while plugged in drawing twice the power of deck, it was cool it worked, but I would never really play it like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Best way to play Starfield on deck is still to upgrade the internet and get remote access going :P Or if you are close enough to your modem you can do what I do and run an ethernet cable connected direct to a dock and then you run the charger also into the dock and then another cable from the dock to your deck which is now your charging cable. So now every time you plug your deck in you also have a full ethernet connection. With that, you aren’t limited by your internet speed for local streaming as it will be going through your local network with ethernet on both ends. Then you just need to buy this $5 app because the free way sucks for xbox local remote play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear after they were done patching it’s actually pretty good. I’m about 10 hours in and I don’t see any big issues. Seems cool. Combat and movement is great. You can play that and a bunch of other games for $5/mo with a EA Play sub and just cancel when you get bored with them. Then you can play Madden. This is direct from Steam and only requires that you know once you open the game, it will say installing EA app or whatever, then you hit the steam button and go to resume game and it will finish.

Play the eagles and see how easy easy mode is. That being said for these games difficultly is just how much the CPU cheats, to really get a good difficulty you need to adjust sliders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Definitely no issues with Moonlight with anything like I had worried, and I guess there was no reason to worry as it apparently doesn’t even use vrr lol - it has its own frame pacing and compensation. It’s actually better when I don’t even try to cap it at 90 and just leave my settings on my pc as is because what you don’t want is for the source frame rate to dip below the refresh rate of the device you are playing on. So yeah, using Moonlight to stream to this display is phenomenal and it’s only going to get better once they get hdr going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a bit a couple days ago - remove the fucking fsr first thing and just change the res to 1152x720 instead and keep it on the “steam deck” preset - in the main game I was riding around on the motorcycle doing cop chases shooting people and didn’t even notice any dips - In dogtown at the town square where it’s a bit more demanding there were some small dips but nothing you wouldn’t see in any console game. The shiny lights look real nice with the hdr too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nowhere close :P It’s like a super charged ps4 more than anything but has some more modern tech, ssd, better bandwidth, more ram, and the main thing is it’s just a smaller screen so it can look like it’s doing more with less. I find native 720p on a 7(.4)” screen looks pretty close to idk like 1800p on a 65” tv from normal viewing distance so that pulls a lot of weight. It’s also harder to notice lots of different imperfections or things like shadow resolution etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
