In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don’t know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won’t be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an upgraded Deck like a better screen, etc. What would you like to see in a partial hardware upgrade?
An OLED display with slimmer bezels, and a battery that uses more user serviceable glue
The dream? User swappable battery. I would gladly trade up for that
That’d be so nice. With a very small internal battery so you can swap batteries without turning it off
There’s nothing that would make me get a half upgrade like that. But I would like to see improvements toward a steam deck 2. If this gets an oled screen, I’d like to see a model in number 2 with an oled screen
I would say a APU with some RT Cores, and maybe 1080p. If not 720p OlED will be fine. I know this is likely to compete with the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion both of which have 1080p screens
The APU thats in the deck already has “RT cores”. At least, inasmuch as any RDNA2+ device has them.
Though I really doubt this is an updated deck, and much more likely to be “Deckard”.
an upgraded Wifi chip, the deck’s kinda sucks
id also like either VRR or OLED
Why does it suck? Asking because i wanted to buy a deck and i will definitely use it for streaming.
Compared to my laptop or phone, when I’m in the furthest spot away from the AP, it will drop out. Other devices stay connected, just slow down
it doesn’t handle 5ghz very well, which leads to insane artifacting and input lag spikes
This is sad to hear. What streaming app do you use? Steam Link or Moonlight? On my Shield TV moonlight is insanely better than steam link
