Steam Deck: is it the Nintendo Switch for nerds?
Valve’s newly announced handheld console promises to put the latest PC games in your pocket. But do they belong there?
yup, 100%This should support AMD FSR, right?
Somehow this sounds like Ubisoft thinks Steam Deck is separate from Steam....lol

Ubisoft Will Put Its Games on Steam Deck 'If It's Big Enough' - IGN
After a pointed departure from Steam releases in recent years, Ubisoft might be reconsidering thanks to Valve's recent new handheld announcement: the Steam Deck.www.ign.com
This time, we now -also- have an FSR patch set (AMD Fidelity Super Resolution) which works alongside proton's fullscreen hack.
Proton's fullscreeen hack is a modification to proton which allows displaying smaller or non-standard resolutions within your monitor's default resolution without changing it. Essentially it's capable of doing what FSR does -- scaling up smaller resolutions. However now that FSR has been released, that hack has been retro-fitted using FSR for it's upscaling backend. Meaning yes -- FSR can be used on almost any game running in proton.
There are a few limitations, for example some games which already have FSR or other scaling implementation may not work. So the way this works is -- the FSR resolutions are patched in alongside FSR for the upscaling backend. Since the fullscreen hack already attempts to upscale, all you have to do is set the game's resolution to a lower resolution, preferably one of the FSR resolutions
Games are going to look so good on the Deck, right
well ... if volvo add this officially to Proton - they'll definitely be able to run betterGames are going to look so good on the Deck, right
If not at launch, I could see Valve adding this type of stuff to extend the lifetime of the device, being able to handle more taxing game by upscaling and system-wide VRS settings.well ... if volvo add this officially to Proton - they'll definitely be able to run better![]()
yeah, that would be great!If not at launch, I could see Valve adding this type of stuff to extend the lifetime of the device, being able to handle more taxing game by upscaling and system-wide VRS settings.
With how poorly ubi games run on PC they probably won't even start on deck anyway.lol

To be fair, I don't think it's a contradiction or error to say the internal storage is not upgradable, if it means complex disassembly of the device. It's a pretty small form factor, and if the M.2 slot is below the heatsink or any other sensitive component, than most people who try to get there will almost certainly break something when they try to open it. Yeah, sure, someone from iFixit with tons of experience and great tools can do it, that doesn't mean much for an average consumer with maybe some Phillips screws at home.
I mean, even if no PC port, it should run great under Yuzu/RyujinxWhy do I like to torture myself like this? FFS, I'm imagining some games running on the deck and now I want them to become something real

But thing is, I want a native version and give them my moneyI mean, even if no PC port, it should run great under Yuzu/Ryujinx
yup, correct ... you'll be able to do that no problemSo I'm curious about GOG games on the Deck.
Since some GOG games have linux versions would it be possible to log into GOG on browser and install them on your Deck without even bothering with Windows? They should work just fine in the background of SteamOS right?
Sounds good. I know Galaxy launcher isn't compatible with linux so I kind of dismissed it at first but then I remembered there is always the traditional method heh.yup, correct ... you'll be able to do that no problem
i imagine it would be the same with all the games that use DOSbox on GOG
add/launch - 100% ... dunno about suspend/resume, though ... depends on how it works, i guessAlso I wonder if the new SteamOS lets you add/launch GOG games then you should be able to technically use the suspend/resume feature with your compatible GOG library as well....
most of the size comes from the static attached controllers also :Othats huge ... looking at the comparisons

I do give credit to Valve for trying to combat scalpers. Reservation day wasn't perfect by any means, and there will always be scalpers, but they did a better job than most corporations.Ahead of preorders opening on July 16, Valve revealed Steam Deck hopefuls would actually have to meet some requirements to even be eligible for the first wave of preorder reservations. The major sticking point was that would-be buyers needed a Steam Account used to make a purchase before June 2021 to be eligible within the first 48 hours of preorder reservations opening up. Accounts would also be limited to one Steam Deck per Steam account.
There are at least two launchers on Linux that support GOG:Sounds good. I know Galaxy launcher isn't compatible with linux so I kind of dismissed it at first but then I remembered there is always the traditional method heh.
Also I wonder if the new SteamOS lets you add/launch GOG games then you should be able to technically use the suspend/resume feature with your compatible GOG library as well....
