Hi all!

I’m playing on an old PC and cannot play on new games due to performance issues. issue.

I like to play with keyboard and mouse.

I see a lot of good feedback about SteamDeck and I’m doubting now.

Should I buy a gaming PC or better buy a SteamDeck + dock station and relax?

I like the idea that I can take SteamDeck on trips + I don’t need to think about what PC to buy (you know. select motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc)

But my main concern is SteamDeck performance

Can I play new shooters, CyberPank, etc

Games that need a high-performance PC.

​

What do you think?

​

thanks!

    You won’t get decent performance in latest games on Deck. Unless playing at lowest possible details and 30fps you call “decent performance”. I have SD LCD and SD OLED and play older AAA games that can run at full detail at 60-90fps. There is a good selection of older titles that can do that. And you can obviously run all the indie games you want on Deck. But games like Cyberpunk 2077? People who call CP2077 or Horizon Zero Dawn performance “decent” are deranged. Although games like MGS 5 or Alien Isolation work really damn well.
