One thing worth noting about the Steam Deck is that unlike the Switch very few game developers have actually optimized their game for the handheld form factor. Valve knew about this so offer optimization tools to the end in order for them to have full control of battery life and noise levels. I personally have no experience with the OLED model (and the TDP levels are different from the LCD model), but on the LCD model it seldomly makes sense to run the device above 10W TDP, Because the Steam Deck is most efficient at 5-10W, after that you get very little extra performance back for all the power drain and added heat.
A lot of games scale beautifully, if they only need ~5W they will only draw 5W power... But then there are games/game engines like Cyberpunk, where the game engine itself uses every last bit of power to keep the CPU "busy" in order to maximize performance on desktop computers. This is of course terrible on a battery driven handheld. So even if you lower settings, it will always draw all the power it can from the battery. Increasing noise levels, drastically reducing battery life. Even if you can't experience the performance benefits.
To put it really simple. If a game makes the fan spin loudly or drain your battery quickly, open the performance tab, add a TDP limit. and start reducing it, if the game performs poorly, reduce settings, perhaps add an FPS cap at 40- or 30fps. This will drastically improve battery life and noise levels. :) Hopefully devs will target the Steam Deck in the future, and not only target the full 15W but rather the more reasonable 5-10W range.
Pinned your comment because I think this is really helpful especially if anyone is experiencing any issues as you said with games like cyberpunk with the earlier steamdeck struggled with , one I'm currently trying to optimise for myself is god of war 2018 off the bat it doesn't run amazing for me but I'm also trying to see both sides of the coin as the difference between this screen and say my PC monitor is vast
This is one of the best vs reviews I’ve seen on the oled :) good work!
@arksredemption937 thank you so much! That's so kind of you ☺️
Great video. I was stunned to see the difference between Steam Deck and Switch with Spyro
I knew it would look a little different but didn't expect such a jump it's amazing
Really good video. Made me remember that I have a Switch and it literally sits in front of me on my desk. Turned it on, tried Doom and it took forever to load and I now realized that I really don't like how the joysticks are on the joycons so, gonna try to sell it I guess. I love the heck outta my Deck!
Thank you so much! I haven't tried Doom on Switch but its really good on deck runs well. I am glad I'm not the only one who loves my deck more
Fuck the Steam Deck, the switch will always be a better system.Nintendo was first to boot. I had a steam deck half the games. I wanted to run it wouldn't run. I ended up selling that piece of shit because I didn't want to deal with games that were only optimized to run on the Deck. Oh, what's that you wanna play games that weren't designed to run on the deck that doesn't say runs. Good on deck. Well, fuck you, then you can go play that shit on a computer, no fuck you valve, I will keep my PS5 and my Switch.Thank you. You can shove the pc crap up your ass.You elitist motherfucker
Agreed, Steamdeck is absolutely great if you don't care about physically owning your games.
I'll probably wait to see what Switch 2 offers before jumping all in on Steamdeck
I am really excited about the switch two and potential games we might get, and yes, physical games are the reason I would never sell mine !
All my games on CD do nothing other than gather dust.
just an correction, the verification process is:
Verified (Green)
Playable (Yellow)
unsuported (Red)
Unknow (Gray)
Playable is the easiest to understand, means you can play on the deck.
Unknow refers to everything valve havent had the time to test yet.
Unsuported means that the last time valve did their quality assurance, the game was not working, or maybe it was missing some features, in some cases minor features that dont affect much of the experience but they want to make sure the consumer wont be missing anything.
unsuported is a bit controversial because sometimes valve test something and a few time after they tested it, an new version of their compatibility layer or some change in the game make it start working, so a lot of people say that the unsuported rating dont means anythings, while it actuall do, its just that its an immense ammount of effort to test all the games, let alone test then more than once to see if they are already working or not yet.
as for Verfied, means the same as playable, except that it has an optimal experience on the deck, with things like big text fonts to make it easier to read.
I have been taking all with a grain of salt however I do love recently I've been getting messages on my deck asking me if an untested game works thank you for the breakdown! 😊
@@lunawolfcrossing you are welcome
I've watched tons of videos on the steam deck and i am saving up for one now. I've been a Steam enthusiast for YEARS now, love playing games on my gaming PC & i have over 80 games in my steam library from over at least 5 years of playing on steam. It's funny 13:52 when you started clicking triggers it was like harmony to my ears lol. I've seens tons of reviews on zaddy steam deck but your clicking of the triggers was strangely satisfying lol. I'll be def getting this for the holidays & your customization of your steam deck kinda makes me want to customize mine in the future. Although i'm a simple guy. This was a really great review, cool video 😎
Steam deck and ps5 controller I think have good feeling triggers these make me nostalgic for ps1 controllers lol thank you I'm in love with how much customisation is possible especially since switch doesn't have anything feel very spoiled for choice 😆 I appreciate you watching and I hope you enjoy when you get one!
Currently going through the spyro trilogy and just finished the crash trilogy good game recommendation!
@@guii5041 ah enjoy! They are both amazing trilogies!
Good video. I've steam deck and switch too and here is the same situation. I rarely play on my switch after I bought my steam deck. But I my love physical switch games
@juanaliaga1429 same here that is the one downside to pc gaming I love game box art
Loved the video, keep them coming!
@darioplacencio7078 thank you so much!
Being able to play big N exclusives on my steamdeck is my number one reason why I’ll never own a switch unapologetically! ✨
@HeyBunni hey no shame from me I hope you're enjoying ☺️
Thank you for this. I’m trying to decide which handheld to get.
@@jenniferjones2863 let me know which you decide! You will have lots of fun either way
great video! waiting for more videos like this.
Thank you so much!
Loved the video, looking forward to watching the rest of your offerings. Had to sub.
@times7171 so kind thank you so much!
Love that Steamdeck skin! And nice video! I wfh so I keep wishing I had more reasons to get one.
Thank you so much! I am really happy with how it looks! Honestly I only work part time its nice to have so I'm not sitting at my desk all day!
I was about to make this same exact video pretty soon. Nice video and you got my sub.
@@TTG_Forever thank you so much! Will be watching your video rog ally vid very curious how people find that one
@@lunawolfcrossing Its hit or miss for a bunch of people. It involves alot of tinkering.
@TTG_Forever watched your video on it 50 minutes is off putting on a handheld especially if buying for kids and worrying about the SD card overheating be interesting to see what the next version is like
Where did you get your skin for the steam deck, it looks awesome
@gabykorkowski it's from Playvital they have them on amazon it's cherry blossom petal and my track pad covers are also from them shimmering waves textured track pad covers thank you so much ☺️
Hi Luna Wolf, I really enjoyed your video!
I've been wanting to buy a steam deck ever since it was first announced, I had a few questions about the steam deck though
1. So I have a switch lite, a new Nintendo 3ds xl (it's modded) and I commute a lot to my college lectures, because of that I mainly use either my 3ds or switch when I'm waiting for my next lecture to start or If I have a few minutes to game. Is the steam deck good for commuters in terms of portability?
Thanks for your time
@Cosmic_Tidepod so I can only give my opinion but the only thing I would worry about if I was still at college is space in my bag in its case steamdeck is pretty big and I personally wouldn't want to lug it around all day however that's just me I had a lot of things to carry
I played multiplayer on Borderlands 2 for several hours on the Steam Deck this weekend, after the experience my hands feel totally fine.
@adrianwilliams6577 I hope you had fun and glad had no issues!
I want to buy a Steamdeck but the OLED models are over 1500 USD where I live 💀😭. I like the customization you did with yours, very cute.
@Maartwo thank you so much! I know price differs per country but that's so expensive are the referb versions any cheaper for you at all? I hope you can find one fingers crossed for you 🤞
Ms. Luna, respectfully, your dress is so pretty! I’m looking to get my own steam deck oled so glad to find your video :)
@@SAkURAYOWA thank you so much! Got it in Primark! I'm glad it helped ☺️
I love my LCD Deck, undervolted it so the fans are dead quiet and don't bother me at all even in intensive games. It's really easy to undervolt if anyone wants more battery life or quieter fans
@@slivka_1 will have a look into it! Thank you so much
Good video. Just bought the steam deck oled!
I hope you enjoy it!
Hi, first , great video. are those hello kitty analog the same from the switch?
@Weynn thank you! And no unfortunately I have so many switch joycon covers but none fit the switch these are made for ps5 controllers ! Brand is dlseego on amazon
The Switch was great when it first came out but since the rise of handheld PC's, I don't see a reason to go back to the Switch. I preordered my SteamDeck when it first came out and never looked back. Screen looks great, face buttons feel nice, bluetooth support for almost any wireless controller, docks only cost around 20$, plus a bigger game library. I was having a good time then I discovered you can mod the SteamDeck and oh boy... there's REALLY no reason to get a Switch now. You can literally play Switch games on the Steam Deck. As well as nearly every console before it. I'm talking Switch, Xbox, PS3, PS2, PS1, Gamecube, Wii, WiiU, Dreamcast, NintendoDS/3DS, Gameboy. The list goes on and on, only adding THOUSANDS of more games you can play. Safe to say I love my SteamDeck, so I'd recommend one for anyone interested. Great video too, I'm definitely subscribing.
@_jerrycs_ thank you so much! And yep definitely agree knocked it out of the water with this one I almost feel bad for how few of its features I actually use lol
The Steam Deck Oled is going to be the last piece I will add to my handheld collection. Currently got a Switch Oled, Switch Lite, New 3DS XL, DSi, PS Vita and PSP. Planning to add a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and a Steam Deck Oled LE (hope I can find one when the time comes). With that I will call it a wrap on collecting handheld consoles. Hope you share more about your handhelds.
You have such a good collection! I miss my Vita so much was such a good handheld! I don't own many now but I would happily make a video!
@@lunawolfcrossing the vita is underated. It covers ground that other handhelds can't cover and has so much usability that you are the only one to limit what your vita can do or not do. The OLED Vita feels so premium to the touch and it is the perfect size for a handheld, only rivaled by the 3DS XL and the Switch Lite. Sony had the right idea but failed to follow through.
Also, did you notice that my collection has the 'big bro, lil bro' theme?
@@avengingsylph I did notice! It was mind blowing to me as a teenager as i was a song kid growing up to take my big games on the go felt so much cooler at the time was the first time i played a persona game too! Theres hope we might get another with the switch and steamdeck doing so well but we will see @avengingsylph
@@lunawolfcrossing currently I am just a 'big child' enjoying the games and the consoles I wish I had growing up. It is exciting to say the least. It is always great to see others who are passionate about handheld gaming. Hope to see more from you.
@@avengingsylph Thank you so much so kind of you i am very grateful i could grow up with these amazing consoles and happy i can share my enjoyment with others 😊@avengingsylph
Very cool
@@X862go thank you!
I’ve only ever played on a Nintendo console, never pc but have been thinking about a steam deck for a while because of the wider verity of games and the fact my switch would crash when playing…. Worried it’s going to be a massive difference if I make the jump
It's definitely a big jump but as you said the wider variety found my games run so much better and my preference of an old screen games look beautiful on it
Nintendo switch has a great lifespan. Steam deck lifespan is still unknown. Steam deck is great if you know how to configure it, install emulators, working on the system. But, I don't know a vit of that. Tough, I'd like to get one but I don't know which one!
@alca200 I will say I am a complete noob with my steamdeck and so far I have found it easy to use but I definitely don't use all the features
The switch holds up really well considering the chip is from 2015.
Plus it's operating at like 5 watts compared to the 10-15 of the steam deck
@@66kaisersoza oh absolutely no argument there the switch games I play run beautifully
I love Spyro, also the crash bandicoot remastered games.
yes love the crash remasters too! another one that I think looks really good on deck very sharp
I love my steam deck with the anti-glare screen but after only a year of use my battery drains without even doing anything. I have nothing on in the background and I’ve done a factory reset. I wouldn’t mind trading it in for the OLED.
Have you reached out to valve at all? Not needed to myself but I've heard they have very good customer support I hope you can get it sorted 🤞
@@lunawolfcrossing That’s probably my next course of action. Thanks for the tip.🩷
@nutmeg9593 of course sorry I couldn't help more I hope you get it sorted
@@lunawolfcrossing You helped plenty. Fingers crossed. 🤞
I really like the Steam Deck and I think the layout of it is amazing. The main problem I have with it is the price. The steam Deck OLED costs $689 CAD for 512gb and $819 for 1tb. Both those cost more than a new PS5 or series X. I got a really good deal for the switch lite (brand new) on marketplace for $160. Yeah the thing is a lot weaker compared to steam deck but it's just not justifiable for me to spend $700 on a handheld.
That is a huge price to pay for a handheld CAD is a lot more than GBP and that's not far off the price for a PC so I can completely understand even for us my husband saved a year to buy me the deck and yes at the end of the day it's about what fits your budget and the switch lite is good still have mine eventually the steamdeck might drop in price or be in another sale if you ever want one.
Some buy the Steam Deck LCD 64GB or a refurbished and then upgrade the storage. You can get 2Tb Microsd now. I can't be bothered to install an internal upgrade but some do that to save money.
Great video! The audio was very low at the start so I turned up my volume then got blasted 5 seconds after lol
@seapunk.mp3 omg I am so sorry 😟 I hope you're OK my mic must've not been connected properly
@@lunawolfcrossing I am fine!! Just wanted to point that out, pls create more steam deck videos 🤗
@@seapunk.mp3 I would be happy to! I am glad to hear
How cute u made them 🥹
@@Arthur-z7q thank you so much! 😭
@@lunawolfcrossing 😇
I’m changing the 64 go to 1 tb tomorrow, I’m more nervous about doing the operating system than the physical swap 👍
@leoglantzman521 I wish you luck I'm sure will be fine!
these portable gaming PC's are prototype....5 years from now maybe the can be a good and reliable systems as nintendo's have been for decades.
can understand that personally not had issues yet but I know early models did
Nice video! I made the decision today to blow the dust off my switch and sell it.
Are you planning on buying any other console instead?
@@lunawolfcrossing the steamdeck is all I really want!
@@BirdSpotter43 I hope you have lots of games planned to play! Or be like me and but too many and play about three lol
@@lunawolfcrossing Oh i do! Ive been pc gaming for the last decade!
@@BirdSpotter43 do you have any personal favourites?!
Hey loved your video , shall I get a steam deck oled or a ps5?
@sameerbaloch2112 a tough question personally I feel you get more games with a steamdeck plus portability ps5 has a lot of exclusives and ps3 ps4 titles too but a lot more on steam me personally I'd go steamdeck but what have you been thinking?
Nice one. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Good. The Steam Deck is truly for everyone, and it’s consumer friendly!
@@deVryz I agree! Found it easy to navigate
I love collecting physical so ill keep using my switch
Definitely a good reason for consoles is the physical games!
I think the Deck is just much cheaper in the long run, but the size of the Switch is nice
@@PKM1010 yes I agree with you and a great alternative if someone doesn't have a pc or space for one I'm so used to steamdeck weight the switch feels a lot lighter than before
Can you download games on steam deck even if you don’t have games on your library? Or do I have to buy a cheap laptop to download games to the library to register, and thennnn get a stream deck? Thank you and great video!!
Yes you can but you need a steam liberey to purchase the console but once you have it you can buy games directly on the steamdeck even better it shows games that are suitable too! I could make a video on this if people want one 🙂
@@lunawolfcrossing that would be perfect!! 😁😁
@@AL-COLLINS will get it worked on!
Your room is so cool🤩
@ZangitoB oh gosh thank you so much! ☺️
About to upgrade from the Deck to the Deck OLED 1TB. And yes I have a switch OLED but eh. Love Steam Deck better. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@Leopardeye exciting upgrade!! Can never have too many consoles 😄
I do though!! 😭 Barely even play the ps5 and Xbox anymore. Steam Deck has taken over my life. 😂😂😂
@@Leopardeye haha samee lol sure will play my other consoles eventually 😅
Right? It’s not like they’re going anywhere! 🤣
@@Leopardeye I hope not 🤣
Hi. New subbie here. Does the thumb grips from the switch fit the steam deck oled?
@MsNikkiCrucio unfortunately they don't I brought ones for ps5 controller and luckily they fit!
@@lunawolfcrossing Thank you 🙏🏾
@@MsNikkiCrucio you're welcome 😊
I recently bought a Steam Deck OLED, and my eyes get terribly tired and even hurt from using it. Everything looks overly sharp and angular, and I can clearly see the edges of all objects. I didn't notice this on the IPS screen of my Switch, where the edges seemed smoother. Do you have a similar feeling?
It's probably an option you've already fiddled with but I turned my brightness down about just under halfway I also see a setting to adjust colours if that's helpful? Personally I have blue tint glasses so I don't get headaches much anymore. I can see what you mean about the sharpness of objects but I kind of like it feels more crisp to me but I can see why switch could be better suited I hope I could help!
@@lunawolfcrossing thank you for your response. I haven't tried reducing the brightness yet, but I did try limiting the refresh rate to 60 Hz (it's set to 90 Hz by default), and it seems to have helped a bit. But I will definitely try glasses with a blue tint. If that doesn't help either, I'll have to return the Steam Deck to Valve and buy the version with an IPS screen.
@@mql5_algo I really hope you can get it sorted but comfort always comes first! @mql5_algo
Ive hard some people are sensitive to OLED and get those issues, while others don't.
@@mreverybody1150 I'm sensitive to the OLED screen of the Steam Deck. As a result, I returned back my deck to Valve and bought the version with an LCD screen. Finally I stopped suffering
How do u do that to your steam deck? I try to run emulator on my cellphone and it's really hard
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean? I don't emulate games on it if that's what you mean? 😊
Seriously you are comparing this very different devices? Omg
@MrGana69 yes because both are handhelds and I know personally I looked up a comparison before I brought the steamdeck 😊
Linux rocks
I agree!
Yes, steam deck is heavy. I don't like that as well.
If it helps some people have said resting it on a flat pillow to take some of the weight helps!
Steam better
@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753 definitely my preference currently!
Switch all day long. I had a steam deck.I did not like it most of the games I wanted to play on it.I could not play.
@That1PissedOffBoomer I'm glad you have the switch to play games instead what are you currently playing?
A childs toy or a handheld gaming pc, how is this even a question for an adult? plus steam sales, free epic games, piracy is even on the table if your willing...Switch games are overpriced and never go on sale so pay a little extra for the deck now and save thousands later in games.
Agree they are so overpriced however I got a switch recently for the living room and there always seems to be sales on. The first party games don’t really come down but like steam sales, you can pick up a few games for a few quid
I don't see it that way I love the Nintendo games I have but I can see the preference between PC and Nintendo it just depends on what games you play more I think
Couldn't disagree more. Me and my adult friends all play Switch together and have enjoyed ourselves for years using that superior gaming machine. Couldn't care less about performance - gameplay is where its at!
