Only read the first page but its full of gloating about the Switch 2 version beating the PS4?. I mean Christ no wonder Nintendo can get away with selling high price low powered hardware in the tens of millions.

The funniest part is the steamdeck version is better in handheld and docked mode. Yet people here still recognize it's below ps4 in specs overall but the same game running 60fps on switch 2 makes it between pro and series s.

context is important though. The Jaguar CPUs in those consoles were good for 900p/1080p 30fps, but they are so shit compared to anything Ryzen. So when people say a steam deck is like an 800p PS4, they are talking about GPU bound scenarios, like God of war.

Same thing with the switch 2. The PS4/PS4 Pro was always going to be a poor comparison because they are CPU bound, have less ram, and slower storage.

For shits and giggles I tested fallout 4 on a Ryzen 1200 4ct/4t(maybe the worst Ryzen CPU you can get) and Rx 470(ps4 pro GPU) and it can run it at 1080p Max settings at ~75fps or 1080p Low at 120fps. I disabled 2 cores so it had only 2c/2t and aside from the initial level stream in for about 10secs of stuttering it almost pulled 60fps(50-60fps). That's how weak the Jag is in comparison.
