I have a gaming pc with a 4090 in the other room. I never really stream to the deck, but I’m wondering if that’s how I should be playing the games all the time?

Would it make a big difference with the 90hz OLED steam deck?

    I agree, although I think there are valid reasons not to sometimes.

    1. Power consumption, the deck might not use a lot of current but the 4090 will for sure haha

    2. Slightly less straightforward, you need to care about streaming resolution, active display, hdr (deactivating it usually) and stuff like that

    3. Some games might not have cloud saves and that means you’ll have to choose between local or streaming (or setup some kind of sync yourself)

    imo it’s worth it but I also enjoy the process so I’m biased. I always find it magical to be able to do that.
