1080p is a terrible way to "upgrade" your Steam Deck.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Really depends on the content you consume. A lot of indie games and old games could benefit from 1080p. Especially with small text. And for more power hungry games you can always choose 720p

[–] trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah. Small text is a fair point, and one that I hadn't considered.

I'm just trying to get a decent framerate for my 3D platformers and horror games and the Deck isn't exactly impressing me at 800p 😭

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 1 week ago

Agreed, for me. But if I played all retro, might be a different story.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How so?

Were you expecting 1440p for a handheld? The steam deck can't handle resolutions that are too high already anyway

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Normal screen is close to 720. Boosting up to 1080 has little benefit at this size and negatively affects performance and battery.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Oh, he meant it in the opposite way of what I thought he did. Then yeah, I agree

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

No, the steam dk can berely handle full HD on most games that would benefit from it.
