Know im late to the game, but today i got my first steam deck :) its the 1tb oled model and im loving it so far, only tried 2 games from my library on it at the moment, dirt rally and spiderman miles morales.

Cant believe how well dirt plays on this thing, ive locked fps to 60 and dirt never drops below this, its a steady 60fps solid, spiderman is harder to run and goes from 30fps to 45fps but i havent changed any settings at all
just booted the games up and played, both play VERY smoothly.

The screen is beautiful, to me it looks better than the switch oled screen, colours pop and brightness is great.

Why didnt i do this sooner lol might try a little emulation on it at some point also, will mainly use it for my single player story games that i havent completed or touched.

Are people still enjoying there steam deck? and what games have you enjoyed on it that run great?
 
Not a Steam Deck, but I've got a different handheld (Antec Core HS), it's a little more powerful, but has a full 1080p screen, so probably similar in terms of framerates (and I'm sure the software side of the deck is better!).
It can play GTA4 on pretty much full native settings, also played the Mafia Definitive editions at more or less full settings. Some (/most) newer games don't run great, but I could probably get around that with FSR etc.

It's been great in the time I've had it and has given me the motivation to play through some of my back catalogue that I'd probably never have got around to on my desktop.
If you have Prime, then there's also the option of streaming newer games from Luna (or GeForce now if you want to pay for something like that!).

Enjoy :)
 
Nice one. I sold all my CS cases and was going to get one myself, but bought a knife and some gloves instead :/
 
It amazes me how smooth games play on it, even if they are around 30fps, wanted to try god of war but seems theres a problem installing this game on the deck, i tried most the online fixes but sadly nothing worked for me.

Every other game ive tried so far has worked great though, im going to buy stardew vally and play that on it i think, always fancied playing the game and think it will be perfect for the deck.

Going to play some emulated games on it also this week as have ordered a sd card build from a seller ive bought from a few times, quite pricey, but saves me setting everything up lol
