Steam Deck questions

[Dedayog]

Is the 6nm apu in the 512gb version much better than the 7nm in the 256? I understand the OLED is a nice add.

 

What can't be played?  If I can get her to play New World or Ark Ascended, life would be amazing.

 

$399 for the 256gb or $549 for the 512gb versions.   Looks like a great sale on the 256 but the benefits of the 512 seem to warrant the greater price?

 

Can you play Epic or other games, or only steam?  Want to get her into Lego Fortnite

 

Anything else to know?

 

  Going thru reviews now but it seems a great handheld.

Chips the same just more power efficient

The faster ram in the oled gives a slight bump tho. Also better battery

 

Both games you mentioned will launch but I can tell you right now ark wont run well . Mostly because it doesnt run great on a lot of systems rn.

 

Basically see it as a ultimate casual pi k up and play machine.

 

Id get the 512 just so you can have some more games and the oled screen. Really adds yo the experience

Makes sense, thanks!   I won't count on Ark at all, it's struggling on my main PC anyway.

 

If it gets the gf playing... It's a worthwhile investment.
