Yep. 360 also has a lot of 30fps games.
Im pretty sure there were a few consoles that mainly did 30fps.
Yes which is why I don't play them.
Even Xbox series X runs at 30 FPS on games like Forza motorsport on quality mode!

I see the same struggle I have using the trackpads in your video!
I just don't have as big of an issue with the steam controller. The pads also seem slightly too low on the deck to use comfortably.
I'm probably just expecting too much from a handheld console and it's as good as they could make it without blowing it up in size even more.
To be honest, it is crazy prioritising 4K and running at 30 FPS, I can’t see any difference between 1440p and 4K, on my 55 inch OLED

If you disable the combined slider then it should still be possible to set your FPS limit and refresh rate independently.
Ditto. I run my PC on a 75” LCD TV. If a game runs at 4K@60hz minimum then great but otherwise I’ll happily shift down to 1440p as the difference in detail is minimal if it’s even noticeable
I can and it's why I opted out so I don't have to compromise.
Oddly though it seems to differ per game. Hogwarts was like going from PS3 to modern day between the two but on others it is not as drastic. I mean 4k is over double the

Some games work perfectly fine in 30fps/60hz - BeamNG drive is a prime example. You wouldnt get 60fps out of BeamNG in medium settings with traffic on. Doubt you would even on a Steam deck 2
It plays fine in 30fps on deck. Sure on PC it feels horrible in 30fps, but PCs you'll have a much beefier CPU and GPU. Cant really fit a 3090 Ti / 4090 in a handheld

It’s mainly about the size of the TV and how far you sit from it. People who sit close to a massive TV might see a difference, but in my usage case there is no difference in any of the modern PC games I’ve tested.I can and it's why I opted out so I don't have to compromise.

In a very quiet room at night I had my oled Deck on the desk in front of me turned on at the home screen, and I could hear the fan turning on and off, I don't mean hear the sound of the air from the vent, but the actual sound of the fan turning on, like a slight tick sound like a old harddrive tick, if you put your ear to the vent you can hear it turning on and off quite regularly, it doesn't do this on the old fan curve which you can select in system settings because it keeps the fan on low.
Again very different experience despite sitting close to the 42" and much further from the 55".
Probably derailed the thread a bit so lets leave it there.
I'll mention my deck is on its way to final parcel centre since 25th, not that I'm particularly excited about it now lol.

Mines been doing that since the 24th, hopefully it’ll be updated soon
Much less. SD has a very low resolution. I want at least 1080p on the SD2 personally.
SD has double the PPI of a 27” 1440p monitor, and your eyes are around half the distance from the deck compared to a monitor, so it’s probably plenty.

I'm most interested in seeing what 40-45fps is like at 80-90hz. On sticks, this should be perfectly playable.
Portal felt really nice at 90fps/90hz. 45/90 felt weird.
30/60 definately should be added as an option. Pretty sure 30/90 is broken
