We've already reviewed the Steam Deck OLED, lauding its high quality display, quality of life improvements and excellent battery life. But what if we told yo...
I play a lot of games at 40-45 fps on Deck and knew there would be decent input lag reductions to be had at those refresh rates as soon as I heard about the 90hz screen, it’s one of the things that sold me into upgrading (I may not have bothered if it was just 60hz OLED).
Something else I’m interested to see develop which I’ve not seen discussed is how viable 90hz will make FSR3/frame generation on Deck. I’d wager it’s completely unplayable at 30>60hz but 45>90hz is very playable on my desktop 4080 rig with Nvidia’s implementation and the smaller screen will surely hide any imperfections of the AI frames as long as input lag is acceptable.
I stream on Moonlight in the house too so 90hz again will have big input lag wins in that application along with now being able to stream in HDR. So many potentially game changing upgrades for me, excited to get tinkering!
