With the OLED after arriving, and the LCD reduced in price I’m considering getting the 64gb deck with a micro SD for additional storage as a gift for someone. I absolutely cannot afford the OLED devices as much as I would like to.
I suppose my question is, do you think it’s worth paying the money for the LCD or should I wait until I can afford the OLED?
It’s not for me and I’m not super knowledgeable about specs etc so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :)
I would say you miss one important point : for game. Yes. But for the write speed, it’s the worst. So when you download a game directly on a sd card it’s so fucking slow if you have a decent network connectivity (like 2gb/s) because the write speed is limited.
In game, no difference, but the writing speed is a no go for « only » sd card deck
Yeah, that’s true, I experience this since I have 1 Gbps down and 600 Mbps over WiFi.
However, for most people this doesn’t matter because they don’t have an internet pipe big enough that can saturate their sdcard write speed.
The only time this really matters is if you’re moving a game from SSD to sdcard. Then it’s just pain.
Well the limite of the steam deck writing on a SD Card is 100 MB/s so it’s pretty limited depending of the internet bandwidth. I more between 250-300 when I download on steam
