While true, the Switch is upscaling with DLSS from quite a bit lower resolution, while the Steam Deck is native 720p. And while DLSS is impressive, native generally offers better image quality at resolutions this low.Eh, this is not really what I saw, it's pretty neck and neck. It's like PS5 to Series X comparisons where there are like 1-2 fps difference.
Same pricepoint and most popular handheld
The weight difference is a mere 80g.
I understand your point, but it looks to me you're saying « yes but DLSS », which can be argued against « yes but 9w vs 24w ».While true, the Switch is upscaling with DLSS from quite a bit lower resolution, while the Steam Deck is native 720p.

Steam Deck is not that heavy and is way more comfortable to hold. Switch 2 is too thin in the back and cramps my pinkies after a little while. I need to get some grips for the joy cons.
Or maybe they're reading usDF has done PC comparisons to PS5 in the past. No different than what I'm talking about.
Switch 2 is definitely not what I would call comfortable for long stretches in portable mode, it's just a little awkward because of the nature of the joycons.

Yeah didn't you post some in the OT? I've been thinking about getting some.That's why grips are so popular

Isn't Switch 2 the only existing handheld with DLSS?
Why? Look at the handheld mode test.rodrigolfp in shambles.
The problem is that the Switch 2 is not cheaper though. The Mario kart bundle costs more than the steam deck Oled in my country. A cool $700 dollars so if valve can get the steam deck Oled on tsmc 6nm out cheaper than what Nintendo is charging, I go back to my original question. How does it benefit me?It benefits the user from the get go because the device is cheaper to manufacture across the board and the architecture is more easily scalable, meaning that we can actually get a Switch 2 OLED with the chip running on all cylinders later at a decent price. I do think going with TSMC 6nm or lower would have been better, but this speaks wonders of Nvidia's cook.
Disagree on the Steam Deck, sold mine because it was such a cumbersome, lugubrious beast to use.
I haven't used a Switch 2 yet.
Yea, the switch 2 looks sleek but it's not comfortable at all. It's an improvement from the og switch but I'd argue that the 3ds xl might be Nintendos most comfortable handheld. FPS, racing games and sports games just bad to play on the switch 2 just as it was on the og switch.While the Switch 2 is the best Nintendo handheld for comfort to date for normal sized adulted humans. Although bigger the SteamDeck is just easier to hold for longer durations, ie not as cramped. Its a tradeoff being svelte vs comfort.
Edit: lol forgot to add important word Nintendo
Do you buy a gaming machine only to admire the size of the screen and the thickness???Of course, PC library and emulators make it a better machine overall, but that's another topic
I also have a handheld PC and no plan to buy a Switch 2
But let's be real, as a handheld device Switch 2 is much better than Steam Deck
Steam Deck had a tiny screen compared to its overall size and is a lot thicker
Of course, PC library and emulators make it a better machine overall, but that's another topic
Same. I'm hoping the Xbox Ally X shows a significant jump compared to the Steam Deck, but the standard Xbox Ally has an almost-identical SoC as the Steam Deck, so it'll be pretty similar I'd guess. It really shows how ahead of its time the Steam Deck was at that price point.Maybe when Rog Ally has "Xbox" in its name then DF will use newer PC hardware in their comparisons. I have no problem with these results, but knowing there is more powerful hardware available and ignored doesn't make sense
Worse graphics settings.Good to see even more proof that switch 2 completly destroy the steamdeck in docked mode.
Hmmm I'd get handheld mode being similar between each other, but docked? There's no way Steam Deck is ever comparable, don't be delusional, we already know specs and what devs say about it, not to mention we have tons of testsWorse graphics settings.
Completely destroy.
Pick one.

Delusional? We have videos and even in this thread showing the worse graphic assets. You blind??Hmmm I'd get handheld mode being between each other, but docked?

One of the advantages deck has is you could play this over GFN and have the far superior experience. I get that we're comparing raw power of each system but this is one of the selling points on why I bought a deck.
That includes the Switch 2?uh... you're aware that GeForce Now also works on basically any mobile device right?
OP has a comparison table between Switch 2 and PS5 graphical settings, it's from the videoThe switch 2 should be compared to the ps5, series s, and x. Stop comparing it to anything else at this juncture. We should see the cutbacks that the switch 2 has to deal with in regards to other machines that are mainstream. That would be a fair comparison.

Switch 2 version issues aren't even graphical, it's clearly how the CPU bottlenecks the performance, even on Docked it dips lower than SD mostly because of it, it doesn't have to do with its graphical capabilities which, colour me surprised, there are like a couple higher than PS5 Perf mode and several others the same.Not going to lie. I kinda skipped past it lol. In all honesty though the switch 2 is good enough for what it is and when you're playing these games on the switch 2, you're not going to be trying to notice every little detail imaginable.
Lol, people like you should let it go. We will get eventually a steamdeck 2.Worse graphics settings.

I think if people is ok with 30 fps (I'm not) then this version can suite them well.
I'll play with 40fps mode, way nicer than 30Switch 2 version issues aren't even graphical, it's clearly how the CPU bottlenecks the performance, even on Docked it dips lower than SD mostly because of it, it doesn't have to do with its graphical capabilities which, colour me surprised, there are like a couple higher than PS5 Perf mode and several others the same.

Ftfy.Lol, people like you should let it go. We will get eventually a Switch 3.
So unlike so many on here this isn't you?Not going to lie. I kinda skipped past it lol. In all honesty though the switch 2 is good enough for what it is and when you're playing these games on the switch 2, you're not going to be trying to notice every little detail imaginable. As long as performance is stable then that's all that matters for the majority of folks.
That includes the Switch 2?
Look at the handheld mode test.![]()
Utterly irrelevant, as thanks to the cheapskates that Nintendo are, the cheap ass, low capacity battery in the S2 lasts as long as the Steam Deck in spite of the 3 fold reduction in power consumption.I found it interesting to put the Steam Deck at 9 watt as the Switch, to see the framerate crashing completely
