Problem with that, is that in all your months of campaigns against cryo, you never provided any benchmark or comparison, very “boy who cried wolf” of you.
I just did, it took me 20 minutes.
And I did it before 3.5 and OLED too, I just simply did not consider the performance increase from 3.4 was 3.5 ALONE, since I was now used to think that cu=better due to my OWN test under 3.4 and it’s precursors.
Yup. Starfield is now somewhat stable at 27 lows.
Without CU it would drop bellow 15.
It’s worth it for game that are barely playable.
Cryo + steamdeckessentials + latest version of proton ge = starfield running at 30 fps with dips down to 27 fps.
(Dips into the 20’s in space with a gigantic player ship)
Medium settings with 67% resolution scale and no dynamic resolution btw.
Also, 9/10 a game unplayable ok regular proton will run with GE if the issue is tied to anticheats. (Granted, because GE is launching the game without anticheat…)
Home and Plex server.
The deck is a low power device, you could use it as a server by making a syncthings folder to your other devices (home cooked cloud) and it had more, more than enough power to be a excellent jellyfin (open source plex) server
The only reason I don’t want one IS 1200p.
That’s 20 to 30% performance loss.
I would have bought a 800p version…
Not all the issues have been ironed out.
I’ve bricked an OS in 3.5 by removing a SD card after a game was being uninstalled, turns out the uninstallation process was not over and It borked steam OS.
Just had to reimage the deck after that, so, not a big deal.
Unless you’re playing emulation or Starfield, which both benefit immensely from 3.5, stay on 3.4 until release.
Don’t forget that 3.5 includes a performance update for the deck AND a specific driver for starfield.
Cryo could already reach 30 stable in new Atlantis with decent graphic WITH the 3.5 patch (and without the Bethesda patch)
Wasn’t expecting such a drastic difference tbh.
Well, in my particular case (aka MY OPINION, for my needs, i’m not claiming to spit the universal truth), I need the etched glass display.
I’m spending half my job’s travelling Europe, can’t really control ambient light in a plane or train…) so… thanks, I don’t want to upgrade to Oled anymore!
Well mate. If I was wrong about 3.4, then consider this the fourth time (I think) I’ve asked you about benchmark of cu vs non-cu on a steamdeck pre 3.5
