It's a really fun game. Thanks for recommending it
I'm totally OK with small changes like this as long as the performance baseline does not change. This happens in the console world all the time, ports are removed, components are updated, etc... It's fine.
Yeah I really don't think they should create a "slightly better" Deck, because it would potentially mean games would work on some but not other Deck consoles. Either release a properly upgraded Deck 2 or keep the same baseline target
Things like WiFi or hall sensor joysticks or something, no problem - they're nice to have but aren't a fundamental change
@@audigex yeah that's my feeling too. Deck 2 that's a lot more powerful would be fine in like 2 years but for now I think they should just release an OLED version or one that's got some extra modularity for tinkering/upgrading.
While I think it's silly to pine for a "more powerful Deck", I don't see a reason to hope it doesn't happen. People here are acting like they'd be magically compelled to buy whatever Valve releases. If you don't think a new one is necessary just don't buy it.
ROG ally and legion go COULD get more optimized, but I don't believe they're going to have anywhere near the dedication of support of the steam deck. Valve's magic is in the software, I'm perfectly content with the hardware as long as they keep refining an already fantastic device experience.
Community is already working on SteamOS V3 software for the Ally and likely Legion Go once it releases as well. Look up both Chimera OS and Holo ISO for infomation. So yeah people are bringing Valve''s software to other devices and have been for a while now
@Despicable_Gamer I am literally running modded games on Linux.
@@Montisaquadeis ^This, it can take a bit more work, but I managed to use NMM on fallout 4 in Linux back in 2019 with very little issues once I got it set up
@@jjcranfill Mod Orginizer 2 is working perfectly for me on Enderal. Also Arch has D2Launch in its repository for running Median XL for Diablo 2
@Despicable_Gamer Pretty sure the only "modding" that isn't possible on Linux is FiveM for GTAV other then that the modding managers all work fine under Wine/Proton on Linux and thus 95% or even higher of modding should be quite doable on Linux. this includes newer and older games. Many games you can manually place the files where they need to be without using a mod manager of any kind. Yes I am a mod user. Can't play Diablo 2 without Median XL for example. There are a number of modules for the likes of Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 that I can't do without either such as Dark Waters series for NWN2. I am sure if I were to install Dragon Age Origins I could likely get mods working on that on my Linux based laptop as well. So yeah using mods is NOT a pain on Linux in the slightest now if you are making mods that MIGHT be a different story tho but using ZERO issues here as yes it takes a little setup but it isn't that hard to do.
I like how the Valve goes with their long-term support for the Steamdeck. It gives it a much greater value than handhelds, that will have to be re-released every year or two to catch all the new, but still only incremental hardware trends.
Which handhelds are we talking about? Cheap Chinese ones? Yeah because they use ancient phone chips to begin with to keep costs down and to resell you the next one when they build another. Most mainstream handhelds have lasted as long as mainstream consoles.
I imagine they had to do a different model number to be able to comply with regulations for the new radio certification. Otherwise we've seen a few other minor changes to the Steam Deck since it's initial release, such as different fans, joysticks, SSDs, motherboard cover / shield, etc.
That and model numbers are for the manufacturer's benefit not the customer. If there's an issue, the manufacturer knows what hardware is in the device and what it can and can't do in order to troubleshoot an issue.
guy who said marked performance upgrade over better graphics is spot on. as someone once said, bigger numbers don't mean better when it comes graphics. targeting a larger player base vice the 5% who have high end gaming systems is also a good idea. why would anyone want to just sell to the 5% when there is another 95% out there with money to spend on games too?
I'd love to see a revival of Steam Boxes that can also do media and streaming apps for the living room. Steam OS certification for third-party handhelds would be pretty nice too - even if they're more powerful but meet the performance baseline, Valve and game devs can win on software sales.
This discussion was super interesting. I was in the boat that the deck feels a little on the slower side, with games like Jedi Survivor and Hogwart's Legacy and such being barely playable, but the argument about limited hardware pushing optimization into the priorities is very good. We all know how Doom Eternal looks and runs so if it's prioritized it's possible.
That said I'd like the performance target to be at least 800p 40fps on medium settings for modern games (also feels like that was the case when the deck came out but not anymore), what's a total bummer is when we can't get constant 30 at lowest settings which seems to be happening more often these days
The Steam Deck is just a little Motherboard. I'm surprised no one has 3D Printed a box for it. Motherboard, Heatsink and Powercord.
That is a very interesting idea...
@@sneescamperslink?
I agree with Valve on this one, where we have to slow things down on the PC side to have a development baseline. The PC world is just moving too fast. New cards are coming out every year and gamers and developers alike want to reach the limit of what's possible graphically and visually, so there's never a baseline.
I agree
Ps and xbox keep it back a little bit but it's not enough
Just think of those limits if devs had even more optimized games, cleaner code, and didn't just expect the hardware to make up for it, like he said in the vid.
It's good to push the top end of the graphics settings, but yeah it would be great for PCs to become a little more "generational" in terms of the baseline, and something like the Steam Deck (and a matching Steam Machine possibly) each "generation" would give a performance target that you know would be viable for a few years, meaning people could be much more confident buying a low end or mid range PC
That still leaves all the headroom at the top end for people to chase astonishing graphics at 4K 144Hz with their high end hardware, but opens the market way up
@@audigex they should use the steam Deck's as a baseline. There are games that won't even get 60fps with a 4090 right now which is crazy af
In order for the deck to become the “Target hardware” for most developers. They have to stick to their guns on how often they update the APU for the device.. There are 2 major reasons for this
1. I’m a part time dev and I’m working on a game now. So If I know the deck is here to stay I can make that my target for performance. Not only that when they do decide to release the deck 2, I will be feel comfortable making that the target for hardware specs because I would assume it will be around for a while.
2. Popularity matters. The longer something has to breath on the market the more it can penetrate. As a developer If I know the deck is popular and that there is only one model for a while. I can feel comfortable in making it my target for hardware. This is also the reason apple devices are easier on devs than Android. It’s also the reason you seen the shift in Developers targeting consoles first. That limit on hardware skews makes for easier development especially with games.
I believe if they can get FSR 3 to run on the deck for all games it will help the hardware last longer.
Yeah I doubt there would be a major hardware change before next gen, so like 2028? Lol. People need to chill. Theres just gonna be some minor hardware revisions.
They should have updates to the steam deck where you can replace parts. Like the screen, the graphics, etc.. i think it’s a really good idea.. to be module and treat the steam deck as a pc.. where you can update everything and keep the body.
The screen desperately needs to be updated tho.. and. I don’ think the steam deck can compete with newer games.. it struggles.
I bought my Steam Deck three weeks ago and loving it. And I love that it's already customizable/ repairable. I can see the point of people being afraid to do those upgrades themselves but I hope that Valve is going for both a DIY kit for any upgrade they're planning as well as fully assembled version. At least it reduces unnecessary waste as our waste management or companies are there yet to recycle them properly...
Don't forget valve has made previous statement saying that they would do a refresh targeting better battery life long before any model with a new performance target.
It's more likely we get the same apu specs on a more efficient node way before steam deck 2.
Its really on Valve, I didn't get one and I'm not gonna get a steam deck until a new model is out.
The key really would be in my opinion to improve efficiency on the chip and letting the user decide if they wanna use that efficiency to boost battery life or in-game performance!
Maybe this is linked to the rumored 'Steam Box' so that both the VR headset and the Steam Deck could stream from this box. For that the new wifi speed would certainly help. That would make a lot of sense to me since then I could play with the power of the 'Steam Box' on my Deck while at home.
I love getting hyped for stuff too! Especially new NerdNest episodes 😎
Honestly, I'd only be interested in this new supposed deck if it had a better battery or an OLED screen. Since those are unlikely, I think the current deck is fine. Love the idea of the deck 2 having two purchasing options like you said. Option 1: just buy it. Option 2: get a much cheaper ifixit kit to upgrade the specs of your current deck
Wifi 6e/7 support, oled screen and quiter fan, with a possible better battery. Pretty much what a revision should have.
I normally don't like ads. (Its why I pay for UA-cam Premium even though their offline downloads don't work) But you're really good at making them!
Thanks so much. I have fun making them.
Its going to be Valve Switch v2.
Its true that current wifi is slow, personally I allow download during gameplay which is off by default. It allows to play a light game while installing large game.
I support Alex's comment on a DIY upgrade. This is kinda what the company Framework does with laptops to reduce e waste and better consumerism. DO IT VALVE!
The hundreds of other handheld oversaturating the market cannot be sustained. Valve is right to wait, give devs a stable performance target, and not exhaust/confuse their customer base with too many options.
I am honestly fine with current specs of my deck. Only thing I would feel compelled to upgrade for would be some sort of dock mode that would get you better 1080 performance in a desktop mode. As far as handheld mode is, I am happy and content.
Upgrade when RDNA 4/Zen 6/LPDDR6 are available and order a custom VRR OLED screen. That is a big upgrade worthy of a jump to the users. For the time being, releasing a better screen model as a refresh would be great, as tge screen on the deck is horrible. I really mean it, after I got the ally, I can’t use the deck from how horrible the screen is (muted colors, washed out contrast like someone soilled milk on the screen, no VRR which introduces V sync judder).
I don't understand why everyone is having slow download speeds. I'm not even allowed to have my wi-fi on at home for very long. My steam deck basically fists and prolapses my internet bandwidth. While internet slows to a crawl for everyone else in the house my steam deck downloads games (huge ones too) in seconds to a bit under an hour depending on the size of the game. And I've downloaded darktide in about an hour and 5 minutes. Can someone tell me how to slow it down so I can finally play online with my friends?
Tweaking the current model is totally fine as long as it doesn't really affect performance. The Steam Deck 2 should feel like a big boost in overall performance while still remaining energy effecient. There's absolutely no need to rush it, and I wouldn't want them to. Having a baseline is nice, and I think the next Deck should ideally come out around the time next generation consoles are on the way.
I'd be totally fine with a 720p display as long as it's an OLED and performance in modern games can generally achieve 60 FPS.
I don't have a problem with an update, like improve screen, a battery that can be replaced easy Bluetooth 5.2, 1tb and 2tb internal storage and to place it as a premium steam deck.
I’ve had mine for a year and a half, I’m low-key ready for an upgrade. The power is fine, I beat all of Hogwarts legacy on deck and I think that’s a feat.
Give me a second usb c so I can use my xreal airs without using a dock.
My biggest issue is the screen quality. After getting a Aya Neo 2 and a ROG Ally, going back to the color gamut on the deck sucks to be honest.
The Xreal glasses do solve this issue tho
Have you tried 3.5 where you can adjust saturation?
@@NerdNestYes, it somewhat fixes the issue, I had been using vibrant deck prior to 3.5, but it’s just not the same. It seems to me that it just looks brighter and washes out shadows a bit.
Makes me think of the Nintendo Switch Refresh in 2019, It was the same hardware but they improved battery life by a lot
I agree with you and I don't blame you at all. You already spent 400 or 500 plus dollars to buy a steam deck so I totally understand why someone wouldn't be excited for the new version. Money is tight enough with trying to pay bills and keep a roof over your head. 👌
the Wi-Fi doesn't need an update, it is the servers that slow down the transmission
A 1080p screen would be nice as an upgrade. I really want a more interchangeable friendly storage over everything though like a 2280. I wanted to change out the Steam Deck's storage to a 2TB but the type of m.2 they have in there right now would cost absurdly high to make that happen if I got the 2TB version of that
"Under-budgeted devs" is rather a stretch. I still remember CP2077 release quality, and that's the game with $320m+ budget, one of the highest budgets in the entire game industry at the time. Or should I mention Starfield where DXVK developer wrote big explanation on how Starfiled engine is abusing some DirectX calls which makes the graphical performance tank... and that's also way over $200m+ game. SteamDeck with XBox Series S are yet only two devices which are still demanding proper game optimization without DLSS escape route, and I don't think we should upgrade either.
Well I'll be sticking with my deck it does pretty much everything I need it to do. But when I first heard about this I thought it was going to be an upgraded dock that boosts the wifi for the deck but guess I was wrong 😅
The current steamdeck wifi is fine and if I'm downloading a very large game or a lot of updates it is easy to plug into my dock that has a wired ethernet connection.
I thought SD has been continuously updated hardware wise since launch day, with the fans and other modifications?
It has, but when you put in new hardware that has radio signals, they have to get it cleared by governments.
the kernel Level anticheat systems that are getting deployed will become a problem for the steamdeck if valve cant find out a way for proton to play nice with it.
It's a console Valve are planning on selling, no idea if this device will serve as a slightly better Steam Deck for your TV. No idea what this device will offer that will make it more appealing than the Steam Deck, I guess only time will tell.
I would love to see a swapable m.2 drive in the same vein as a microSD card. No disassembly required.
If they also improve the screen I'm sold. I don't really care that much about more power or battery since I mostly use emulation and play indies natively. For AAA games I prefer streaming them to my Deck via Moonlight/Sunshine, so the WiFi 6E + screen improvement (at least 1080p) would be a game changer for me
I'm glad you did not try to pronounce my names. 😂😂😂 We have 1080p 120Hz Screens on handhelds but none can play AAA games to take advantage of the screen. When I say Native 1080p 120fps at 10W I mean as a minimum performance target for any modern game. 2025 sounds about right. Devs complain about being forced to target the Xbox Series S, however if Microsoft release a handheld in 2025 that targets 1080p they will have all the games optimized for the Series S available. That is the real Steam Deck 2 competition, a handheld Series S from Microsoft.
Honestly, we don't need a 140 Hz refresh rate on portable gaming it drains the battery so fast.
mostly who play games on the go just for chilling or killing time, not for competitive gaming.
60 fps is just fine for portable gaming.
1080p is too much, 720p is oke because the screen is small and doesn't have big differences.
and your eyes don't notice it.
my advice for Steam is just to make a good game run well for Steamdeck and offer an indie game developer to create a game for Steamdeck with its own market. Make it a lot of options. Steam just needs to make its own world just like Nintendo with their exclusive game.
i'm hoping for them to release a more powerful deck in a few years for about the same price. i can't afford anything more expensive but i'm not fully happy with the current power to buy one right now. i guess i'm just playing the waiting game
I’m totally for it. I honestly thinks it’s going to need it soon because games are def getting harder to push regardless of optimization. A much better display is def needed for me. When compared to my ally even with its quirks I’d rather play on it because the display makes the games look that much better.
I agree that they should try to release an updated Steam deck every 2 years. This would allow people to cycle every 4 years and always be able to play the most taxing games with reduced setting the third and fourth year. This ALSO allows new customers to come in and buy the newest release and feel like they'll get at least 3 years out of it and can upgrade in 2 years if they want. For someone like myself who has not bought a Steam deck I'm in a boat where if I buy one now I'll be able to play the current most taxing games with reduced setting straight out of the box AND some games many not be playable next year or year after, so I'll be forced to buy another Steam deck in 2 years. This would never be a problem for future customers with a 2 year rotation. It's enough time for the hardware to advance performance. They can still have their baseline performance for each model.
When I buy or build a new pc I don't ask for the parts that will make the best games almost playable at reduced settings and mostly obsolete in a year or 2, why would I want that from a Steam deck? Life is short, I'd rather pay for performance than wait in/on games.
"Absolutely, 100% a new Steamdeck" - No it's not. It's a minor HW update.
I was referring to the fact that it is a steam deck, and not a TV console or VR headset. And I think that’s pretty obvious.
@@NerdNest Didn't say that though. It's not a new Steamdeck (as your title suggests)
A better screen and eGPU support would tempt me but I’d be happy to wait for a proper Steam Deck 2 for those.
First thing I hear of this, my first gen deck doesn't have a WiFi chip that will break any records but it is perfectly adequate, what speeds do people expect?
Never get any problem with wifi on my deck, just getting same perfs than my legion 5 and my desktop pc...signal is even stronger and faster than my rog ally's one that I get last friday lol...
Even the screen is really good by comparison with ally, I don't like the "oversaturated" tone of the asus, with fluo +++ greens and reds that bleed over white inscriptions. For example , I can't barely read the "play" inscription in the green box on steam, color balance and tone is just more accurate and natural on the deck for me (steamOS 3.5, sRGB and 6500K color gamut)
And in the 15watts range SD crushes the ally, tested on numerous titles, it's a no match...
And (sadly) since the 323 bios update it's even noisier than the deck, with high pitched fan noise (wich we can't lower under 74% at 60°C now), getting past 20 watts it's like having a ps4 in hands, very disapointing for me because the silence was one of the main advantage of the ally to me...now just VRR staying the real "plus" of the device, thinking of returning it now next week...
@16:36 Im not so hung up on the WiFi as much as the Bluetooth upgrade. Anyone that is lazy enough to download games (unless you are traveling and want a new game in the field.... even so...) over WiFi instead of purchasing a proper dock (Valve or 3rd pty) to take advantage of hard wire transfer speeds direct to router is on them. Now... that being said.... Bluetooth 5.2 allowing for multiple connections from other devices.... THIS makes me a little moist. I love the idea of being able to listen, control on the fly and even adding new artists to my Spotify with my Android while playing games. My argument may be selfish and niche at best, but if anything that Bluetooth 5.2 does sound like it would be a QOL upgrade!
Man... I'm in a tough spot right now on an opinion basis. While the Steam Deck allowed me to rediscover my library, it also made me pursue a modern 'steam machine', that permanently resides by my TV. Now, I'm usually using the deck on road trips, or around the house on Xcloud or steam remote play. Now I'm thinking about XCloud on Samsung tvs... Kinda wild.
I support reducing production & support costs. They have a foothold... they're waking people up. It's all good.
Any upgrade would be much appreciated tbh. Sure it lagging behind in power but the community alone makes it a worthwhile device if you like the ease of use
For me, the biggest reason I fear another Steam Deck is that valve will either have to cater to two of them (shader cache, verified games etc) likely lowering the speed at which they’re focusing and working on each one individually or even worse, discontinue the old one.
I look forward to another Steam Deck as I would buy it in a heartbeat, but that’s mainly because I use it for my daily driver alongside my Switch. SteamOS is a great addition to the deck and likely will be in their next iteration (can’t say the same for another after that because Valve don’t like the number 3). I hope they continue to improve on SteamOS moreover than another revision.
I tried out SteamOS 3.5 (preview branch) and they’re delivering on everything, going above and beyond for even simple things like how vivid the colours on your screen are without having to use third party alternatives.
Unfortunately, for me at least, 3.5 leaves a lot to be desired as it completely broke one of my games (Black Ops III) where you simply can’t load into a game multiplayer, or zombies 90ish percent of the time, so I’ve had to go back to stable for now.
If people know how I report such things to valve, please reply and let me know, their support told me to go onto the proton GitHub but proton isn’t the issue. It’s the OS itself.
I cannot disagree anymore with the idea that waiting 2-3 years for upgrades is a good idea. Tech products only relevant for 3-5 years, the longer its been on the shelf the shorter its life. With any luck the Steam Deck v1 will be relevant for 7 years. That means someone buying it today will get almost 2 less years of life out of it vs someone buying it in Q1 2022. Where if Valve did spec updates every 1-2 years someone buying the Deck today would get a better Deck that I did but would have it for the same amount of time.
This is way to similar to the Apple process where they release a model every year and a group of people think you are expected to buy the new iPhone every time its announced... My iPhone 12 is only 2 years old, but it is 3 years old to market. Meaning I only have another 1-2 years before the spec gap is so large that its worth upgrading, if I had got my phone in Sept 2021 instead of July 2021 I would have had a iPhone 13 and I could hang onto it until the 17 is out...
Honestly this all disappoints me, I really want a more powerful system with more ram. I guess I’m off to get an AOK ZOE or an Aya Neo. I like the Lenovo but really prefer 32gigs of ram. After that I’ll wait a while for a new system. But hell, I love my Steam Deck it really is awesome!
iv'e already moved on from the steam deck because of compatibility and display. I have no reason to pick mine up anymore. valve time is very real and im not in the game of waiting for them to make their display actually enjoyable to use. its 2023/2024 and they are using a tablet screen from 2010. Its horrible
Oh yes, these other hand helds like the rog ally are "more powerful" than the Steam Deck, but you know my car will get more mileage than some pointless humvee. I'll stick with the efficient system over the over powered, over priced, worthless brick.
The devs aren't lazy, they are rushed and disposable as far as gaming companies are concerned. Be mad at the ceo's and shareholders for games being garbage on release.
CPU bottlenecks can be tweaked as well. A Plague Tale: Requiem put the AI and animation calculations of the CPU for the rat swarms on 30FPS keeping the rest if the game at 60.
nothing more annoying than gamers calling devs lazy. Making games is 1. Not as profitable as every other type of development a programmer could be doing, these people are passionate about games and 2. HARDER than most other avenues of coding. Get out of here with that opinion
Thanks for your awesome videos.. love them. Dont have a Steam Deck.. YET. But im waiting for a sale and have to talk to my wifey about getting it instead of upgrading my PC. 😂
Fine. But I still want a set top box. I'll make one myself next year if I have to, but I'd prefer something official. I'm really itching to ditch my Windows TV PC.
I'm probably gonna do a full shell replacement once my 1 year warranty runs out. So if they come out with a ifixit kit to upgrade the apu and wifi between now and then I would highly likely buy the kit because why not? I'm taking it apart anyway.
Steamos is freaking weird it has Thai ux but no Thai keyboard, and when will it be available in SEA? They are losing the portion of market here the longer they let other competitors to deliver its device worldwide.
If it's a hardware refresh that increases battery life, cooling and introduces e-GPU compatability via the USB-C port, it'd be great.
I think the Steam Deck mobo should be users upgradeable and they should sell a Steam Deck 2.
I'm not in no Rush to upgrade mine it's playing the games I want to play on it.
Any one got problem 's with down loading cyberpunk phantom library for steam deck from the steam store . It down loads about 12 to 15 GB and then goes back to start down loading again . From start. This has happened 4 times. Any information on this . Thanks.
I'd totally be OK with a new upgraded faster steam deck.. But I can wait.... I want a proper steam deck controller when In docked mode
I’m good with my current steamdeck. I’m planning on upgrading to a 1tb from the mid option steamdeck eventually.
The first comment of the video was a hyperbole and I agree. Unless it is game changer, keeping the Steam Deck at a great price with reasonable performance is more important than being the pinacle of performance.
Let’s just take a look on the Ayaneo, they put a new device every month and it makes no sense. It changes so fast that you can’t even tell which one is the latest. I think a couple of years will only benefit the future review of the steam deck, because the competitors will also add some new cool features like legion go solution for mouse and it can be used to make the new version of the steam deck even better
Just imagine Oled screen, frore airjet, 4-5nm VanGogh, and a bigger battery... I don't own steam deck, been waiting for such an upgrade....annnd for it to come to Serbia.
Valve doing the "Push older hardware as long as possible" approach is a nice change from everything else. Im sure they can focus on optimizing the hardware, having default "deck" settings for games where theure optimized for best frames to visuals etc. Lots they can still do. Look at the Intel Arc card as an example of what software updates can do.
I don’t want them to make a new one yet. And if they do I just want it to be OLED with a larger battery. But I’ll probably buy it either way.
I still don't get why everyone is pushing for super high refresh rates on these handheld devices. Whatever happened to 75 hz? I feel like 800p-1080p 75hz would be the ultimate balance to strike for handheld.
I really hope he legion go gets a half refresh framerate cap option. 72 fps on a 144 hz display is quite nice.
I would like a smaller Steam deck which i don't think would be impossible the gpd win 4 is more powerful and way smaller
I intent to drive that steam deck for at least another 1 - 2 years. These small upgrades make sense, but are no reason to replace a Deck. Totally agree with Valve, as soon as there is a significant gain - lets go!
Kinda makes sense they would release a updated steam deck with all the price cuts and promotion they’ve been doing trying to liquidate old stock.
As I can download a 60-70 gb game in 20-25 minutes I think the Wi-Fi in the deck is fine or at least it is for me.
We already know performance will be the same, but if they could update di display and improve battery life it would be already a pretty good update
Deck lite with smaller frame would be nice.
I worry about the trackpads on a smaller device.
@@NerdNest Honestly the trackpads are super niche, I think a Deck lite would be perfect for mass market that don't need or care for trackpads.
@@StrikerTVFangI wouldn’t mind a smaller version without trackpads or smaller ones and extra USB-C & better quality screen would be great.
@hairy, I'm okay with that, but I wouldn't buy it. (other than to make a video)
I’m happy that the new one is mid, because I’m buying one in early December or late November and need it in by early January
I don't have steamdeck as its not available in my country. ROG and LENOVO (out soon) are good but...
In terms of service and the community is amazing, will always wait for a new steamdeck
If we get a new SteamDeck now those with a year old deck will not trust the system anymore. Imagine having a PC that lasted a year.
Its a PC i hope they put out better more powerful versions every 2 to 3 years. I dont want console stagnation of like 7 years
The wifi on my Steam Deck died after 4 days of owning it. Constant crashes with no access to the internet. Total garbage.
I'm watching this while charging my Deck for another round of Divinity Original Sin 2
dammit I just bought the thing
I wouldn't worry.
At the current at rate tech is moving, I've concluded that obscelete is what ever you think it means 😅. I couldn't fathom something like the steam deck in the 90s and now people want one every 2 yrs
Not a big deal. I'm actually glad it's just a minor hardware revision and not any sort of successor, because at the end of the day, Valve is still sticking to their statement regarding a follow up device and is upholding their goal of supporting and maintaining the current Steam Deck.
As someone who just bought a Steam Deck, this doesn't bother me at all. I don't have any complaints regarding the original wifi chip other than wishing for improved connection stability, and that seems like a software issue; not a hardware issue.
Look up turning off Wifi Power Management to improve Wifi stability.
So no Deck TV then? Am I going to have to stop being lazy and build my own PC?
Downloading games slowly is a Steam and sd card issue. Limiting the sd card download speed to 15mb/s is the only way to get more consistent speeds.
Steam just needs to fix the platform itself.
I believe changing the wifi adaptor is to have better streaming and remote play performance, because remote play is horrible on Steam Deck.
Whose complaining about wifi? I get 50+ MBs which is more than enough
This could be months before any real product revision. If you look at FCC submittals for original Realtek wireless card, it was submitted in 09/2021 for the Steam Deck (Model 1010) and the Deck wasn’t shipped until end of 02/2022 - but the community is much larger, we are like vultures so Valve won’t really be able to sneak this on board before we already know what is what
But they didn't plan on having it come out in February, it was delayed due to the chip shortage.
@@NerdNest that’s true! Good point. Man I forgot that already.
this is super common in the console space. I expected they were already doing internal iteration.
We need OLED version for the deck!
Dude i just discover this channel, love this channel very informative plus the host voice very epic SUSBCRIBED
I strongly insist on it being a stable performance platform for years. Around 5 years would be great. I'm not a "handhelds" youtuber who's job is to get around this theme and I want to spend money on different things than handhelds and consoles. It would be better to see a generational leap when the next Steam Deck comes out. 2025-2026 would be okay. Also, if it would update every 2-3 years, performance increase would not be great. And we already have tons of e-waste in form of smartphones, so... Can't let this happen to Steam Deck
I agree, with PC handhelds emerging quickly as a force and with VR / AR getting ready to take off I've elected to wait and see what happens. I'm tired of disposable junk and feel like we'll be seeing some really incredible convergence devices around 2025-2026.
man that music is weird and distracting, i thought it was my neighbors for a second there.
I wore different headphones I’ll mix it better in the future
Sounds like the new steam deck is using modular parts
