This refresh, if anything, proves Valve is committed for the long run and eyeing a Deck 2 at some point. It’s great news for the community and hopefully this OLED variant will bring even more people in.
As for me, it’s not enough of a reason to upgrade, I’m going for the sequel.
Running on FSR 2.2 balanced, with everything on Low, except textures and models on Medium, 28 frames cap and TDP at 13, you get a mostly stable experience, outside of a few areas (like some parts of act 2 and 3, like the the lower city).
If you want to make it completely stable, you can cap the framerate at 24 and it should run seamlessly. Or remove the TDP cap and get more frames.
It really depends how tolerant you are of lower frames and variations. If you need a completely smooth experience to be able to enjoy, not for you then. I am ok with it, I also stream it from my PC and play it locally. Overall though, don’t think it should be Verified but definitely Playable.
