Switch 2 version looks much clearer and smoother.

I mean, at around twice the GPU power, that's to be expected.
the more interesting comparison will be portable mode, which will be closer to the Deck in GPU performance.

And these are the "golden" Steam Deck settings.

Before everyone shows up for the circle jerk, I need to point out that comparing docked switch2 footage against the steam deck that exclusively has access to the same computational capability whether it is handheld or plugged in is disingenuous.
Docked footage should be compared against other consoles that require a continuous power source and need to remain stationary like ps5, xbox, etc.
When we have direct feed HANDHELD footage of the SW2 I'd love to see how it compares against the SD.

If that's the case then when we start comparing portable modes the Steam Deck should be set and compared at the same power draw as the Switch 2.

Agree, But SteamDeck at 10 watts probably runs this game at 5fps. Some people are having hard time to understand this…

The fact that you think it's reasonable to power an x86 processor with the same juice as an ARM shows just how little you understand about hardware.

That's Steam Deck's problem. Can't have it both ways. In this comparison both are outputting to an external display and running at maximum performance while connected to an external power source. It's a fair test.

Both at 10 watts the Switch 2 destroys the Steamdeck, Both at 30 watts is the same situation. The Switch 2 is going to win in every possible scenario against the Steamdeck. Is a fact.

The Steam Deck is niche hardware and the Switch 2 is the follow up to a device that is in the running to be the best selling gaming hardware of all time. They are not in the same market. The fact that a normie bait, solely mainstream gaming device is pretty much on par with enthusiast hardware is a great sign for people who like Nintendo games.

Completely agree on all fronts, yes. I feel exactly the same, that's why I pre-ordered one.
But popping bottles of champagne after showing a docked console vs handheld is like being excited you won a foot race against your dead grandmother.

The Steam Deck was docked in this comparison. Two handhelds docked being compared.

Not to mention that the Deck came out in 2022 so it's not like it's a huge win to be as good as that. But as a Nintendo fan, having competent hardware means a lot considering it's been like 25 years since the Gamecube. To illustrate that, the Bayonetta trilogy came out in 3 different consoles that were all very comparable in power. Even as someone who is easily gaslit by saying graphics are less important than gameplay, my balls look like two Sonics.

you have spikey balls? you should get that checked out
It ain't spikes, just agitated pubes.
That's an exaggeration, I usually limit game on my deck at 10 watts and I find it a good spot for battery/performance.
I played CP2077 with the steam deck preset, XESS quality (I find it much better than FSR 2/3) and 10watt limit with the GPU locked at 1000mhz. Performance was comfortably at 30fps even while driving around and in heavy gunfights.
I think the Switch 2 will comfortably leap ahead, especially since you can push it harder docker that the Steam Deck, which only can go up to 15 watts, but in handheld mode I honestly think it won't be that much of a leap.

Wake me up when we're comparing like for like footage. That's docked footage vs handheld footage. Switch 2 looks good though but framerate is whack

Joke's on you, docked footage from the Deck is the same as handheld. So you are comparing docked to docked. Why should the Deck get a pass because its docked mode is inferior?

Docked and handheld is the exact same
Mister Wolf

Correct. The Steam Deck offers maximum performance at all times.

fix'd that for you.
Nintendo fanboys defending their overpriced and massively underpowered toy is something that brings a huge smile to my face every single time. Please continue making this hilarious threads, you're amazing!

It's not getting a pass because its dock mode is inferior because it doesn't have a docked mode at all. The steam deck has a handheld mode with the option for hdmi out. With that logic, you might as well argue that the psp had a docked mode as well since it had video out.

What's the deal why can't supposed gaming enthusiasts handle a capable Nintendo console all of a sudden?
There is constant downplaying and the salt is oozing in every single Switch 2 thread here. Literally. Why??
Nintendo is kicking off a new generation after 8 years with original Switch. This is when we're supposed to be excited and celebrate, not be salty and act like you can't get one or want it to fail.
Just put in a preorder and enjoy like a normal person!
This looks and runs extremely well, above all my expectations. Can't wait for launch!

Yeah it'll be great. I just hope more devs start doing the cross platform save syncing like CDPR does here. Going between regular Steam version and NSW2 version is a convenient feature.

Easy, they think if they hate Nintendo enough they would go 3rd party and they get to play Nintendo games on different system.
Simply port begging……that's all it comes down to.

The fear I refer to now is 3rd parties are going to make games with the Switch 2 in mind first, which further ingrains the notion that they've overpaid for the PS5/Pro/Xbox Series generation.
