    Just played some elden ring to test it out and was getting 40+ fps on medium settings and Temps didn’t go above 85 c.

    Looks beautiful, plays beautiful. Was thinking about the upgrade to OLED but I’ll just wait until there is a steam deck 2

    Now I’m just sitting here waiting for my deck to update. Nothing else to do today.

    Agreed. I was waiting to see the 3.5.5 update and now have way less immediate fomo for the OLED. Eventually will likely buy it but now I have way more patience as the lcd looks fantastic now.

    This is why I made a good guy valve post about how they knew the oled was coming and still chose to give lcd users a screen upgrade via software and people got so mad it was insane lol.

    I’m getting insane performance improvements on the yuzu emulator. Mario odyssey is now running at a consistent 60fps instead of constantly dipping below 40

    Yeah, I thought it was just me at first but the display colors are quite noticeably sharper on the LCD screen than they were previously. I may still cave and buy an OLED in a few months when a sale pops up but I’m really in no hurry now. Valve is truly the MVP.

    For real, I ordered, frustratingly, an OLED LE, and when the update finished on my og SD… I for a moment experienced buyer’s remorse.
    Goodness the UI color tweaks were something I didn’t know I needed.

    I got my steam deck a week before the oled was announced, and I’m loving 3.5.5. Even if it ain’t got a 6nm apu, still does what I want it to do, both gaming and streaming.

    Color saturation really does a lot to improve the perceived quality of an image lol

    I never thought the Deck’s LCD panel was THAT bad but I definitely like it more ever since I started using VibrantDeck and now the built in vibrancy settings
