Keyser_Soze Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I hope I don't get screwed. The card I used to order one is getting bought by another bank on the 18th so I'll have to put a new card in and last time I did that it put me on some kind of probation or something.

Brian Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Quote In addition, we're sending out press units for full review shortly. Press review embargo on Steam Deck coverage will lift on February 25th, but keep an eye out for some preview coverage and impressions before that. I am glad we will get a lot of coverage before launch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God the deck isnt even out yet and I am buying so many games. Aya Next update: They seem to have got them in way earlier then anticipated. People have been getting shipping conformations. I hope they ship mine before Chinese New Year. Gonna take the day off. Someone stole one of my PVC orders and I don't want to miss out on the Aya Next. It will carry me until the steam deck.

Raggit Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 After seeing all these portable gaming PCs use the same / similar button layout as the Switch, I'm so glad the Steam Deck didn't follow with that design. The D-pad placement on the Switch joycons is so uncomfortable, especially for long uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Valve's Steam Deck now comes with AMD FSR upscaling as standard on any game | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Steam Deck users sticking with SteamOS will benefit from integrated FSR performance boosts, regardless of game support. Quote Integrated support for AMD's spiffing FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) upscaling tech is coming to the Steam Deck for Linux users. It should deliver a decent performance boost for users sticking with SteamOS rather than Windows on the much anticipated handheld gaming device. That's regardless of whether the game has built in support for FSR or not, because it's now baked into the OS. Valve's devlopers have said from the start that FSR will be supported on the Steam Deck. "FSR is already available for some applications that support it. Games that already include FSR will work as is, but also FSR support will be included as part of an OS future release. Once that happens, games could potentially make use of FSR even if the games themselves don't natively support it," the Steam Deck FAQ notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 45 minutes ago, Dimden said: I want to say this is excellent news, but from what I've seen, FSR is fine for still or low motion images, but turns into a blur fest once action ramps up. Every time I hear about it, I just keep on wishing that Nvidia would make DLSS open source and universal. Im not sure how that works with DLSS using the tensor cores to perform? I guess let other cards just use their regular cu’s and have it not be efficient? Idk if it can scale like that or not. If the best thing for AI is to have dedicated tensor cores or something similar I do hope a hardware/software solution becomes standardized though eventually, ideally devs would only have to concentrate on one solution and not (soon to be) three. Maybe intel will help push that into existence since AMD doesn’t seem interested in providing a real competitor still. I guess if all of them end up just being plug ins for the popular engines then it’s not that big of a deal but still cumbersome on the ui side. But ya fsr support here won’t do much at such a low resolution anyway, it’s really only “okay” at 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize there is some work for that BUT I have an east first step in that for the games MS publishes they can just give access to them on Steam after a separate entitlement check. Probably can do something similar with all the other games they just need to work that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I hear about it, I just keep on wishing that Nvidia would make DLSS open source and universal. I think given the small size of the LCD panel, FSR might be less noticeable in the blurriness department, plus we can expect future updates to make FSR a little bit more in competition with DLSS. One of the things I kept hearing with DLSS is 1.0 wasn't that great, and 2.0 was a massive leap forward in the tech. I think FSR, like Free-Sync before it, will be fine as it gets better over time. 23 hours ago, stepee said: Noooo Xcloud, daddy Phil needs to give us full native gamepass.

FSR is a fundamentally worse and outdated method that is only a competitor to DLSS because AMD doesn’t have an actual competitor to DLSS yet, but it could still be better for what it does. FSR is more like the new Nvidia image scaling. I mean I’m sure it will get better, but it’s not going to be anything great until it’s simply completely different technology maybe using the same name. This sort of thing would be exciting if it could take say a 540p image and scale it up and have it looks better than a 720p image with taa, this isn’t going to do anything like that. Just maybe make a thing here or there look a tiny bit sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I rolled a 1 and the Aya Neo Next didn't ship before Chinese New Years. Hopefully I get it this month though. Kinda funny I bought an HP AMD ultrabook. I like it alot but it has a 5700U so technically the Neo Next I get will be more powerful. Wish my Alienware was Ryzen based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Steam Deck: GPU Settings Fully Customizable - Boiling Steam BOILINGSTEAM.COM Leaked from a Chinese developer, we can see the Steam Deck's side bar menu within SteamOS when running a game to tweak GPU settings Pretty cool how you can adjust settings on the fly. I hope Valve will support config sharing settings so people like me can have those settings automatically applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
