it’s pretty much specifically Nintendo switch related things I’ve ever noticed an issue. That’s why I’m asking it here in the steam deck subReddit about specifically emulating it. I was thinking, maybe I had my settings off and somebody could help me.

Never said that. I meant geez. The price vs performance of hardware is dropping. A few years ago similar hardware was more than 1k more

All energy saving options off. I never once thought the CPU would be the bottleneck because I’m sitting here exporting a build of some code, or of an animation or something that takes a while and has extraordinarily CPU intensive like using gcc to compile a MASSIVE project (C and C++ for this one) or for that matter, uploading an entire project to githubs website via git cli. when this thing is under heavy load it flies. It goes up to 4+ghz. and my archiving, unarchiving, compiling code into a program, etc are done super quick compared to others, and it’s been the best hardware of at least anyone I’ve been around or any I see in stores so I didn’t think it was that far behind in terms of power. Maybe instruction sets. It’s got an eGPU port so if I want I can connect a desktop card to it. I guess I don’t have a reference to the current bleeding edge hardware performance. I just knew it was still better than most. Anyway just explaining my logic.

I still think it was a good question. I think people put too much importance on having the most bleeding edge hardware they can get.

exactly because I’m looking on Tech power up at the relative performance and it shows it should only be 10% slower than an RTX 2060 desktop edition (at 1080p). But I’ve checked everything even down to bus band with why I’m getting the 256.3 GB per second bandwidth 256 bit bus etc…

so you guys are trying to tell me this $500 handheld is better in every way than this $1800 laptop? Wow. Still though when I’m making a build in unity or etc doing anything gamer related, but not Nintendo switch related the Alienware is so much much faster and processes, and renders things so much faster
