If I was in the market I'd rather just wait and see what Valve will do with future Deck versions.

What CPU do you have?

FF7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus. One of those games is around 5 years old already. I'll have to think more if there were some others, but generally most games do not really grab me that much anymore. Too derivative, task-based rather than experience based, and many just blend together...

Which is my point. It is a niche market, and Valve essentially has it cornered as is. But you cannot say the Deck has sold better than a Switch, in terms of sales numbers. It is not even close. As long as gaming laptops and Nintendo handhelds exist it will always be a niche. The Deck fits in...

It is hard to compare the two so early in the Deck's short market time. But what we do know is the sale numbers aren't even close when we compare the Switch sales to Deck sales at the two year mark. It isn't a matter of disagreeing, but just a matter of facts. But that won't translate into...

In around two years they sold 3-4 million. To give you an idea, Nintendo sold around that much in a few months. I'm also assuming in two years there have been more than 3-4 million gaming laptops sold. I assume more gaming laptops sold than the Deck, Ally and Claw combined over the past two...

In particular motherboards tend to have a lot of problems and drivers are more important so I have little reason to look to an ASUS motherboard. They also tend to be the most expensive. Though I believe MSI and Gigabyte RMA quality is not good from what I have been told, it does seem like ASUS...

Do the Classic controls actually function like the older games now? In the demo it didn't. How about menus, is the design still essentially the same?

Part in bold would make sense, but something was lost in the re-creation because her face is shaped quite differently. It isn't as drastic as the changes with Lara Croft I posted earlier, but it is noticeable. It isn't technological, the difference is artistic. There isn't any real technological...

The game plays more clumsily. She gets thrown around a whole lot. Even when you dodge sometimes she takes too long to get up. Even basic human NPCs can often charge, you dodge, and then they can charge again and hit you before your dodge animation completes. On normal it isn't a hard game by any...

What do you get on the core/memory clock? I think most allow for a 110 to 120% power target. Wondering if 145% can squeeze extra performance out of it. I have a Zotac, which also works well and is very quiet. At the time it was cheaper than this Gigabyte. I would strongly recommend anyone who...

Will probably come around November, which would be two years after the Playstation release which seems to be the standard. I am more interested in Last of Us 2 and hope that comes first, especially seeing how it is an older game. God of War was... decent, but the least interesting Sony port I...

A lot of us noticed it before the game was released. It is always odd when a character changes design in a notable way. There are exceptions, for example May Payne's visual design changed a lot although it coincided with major technological leaps. But now that character models are detailed a...

More of a warm deal than hot, but you can get a RTX 4070 Super with a nice cooler for $50 off the normal price of $650. GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming OC In terms of noise while gaming it should be much quieter than the two fan models that tend to cost $600 normally.

That sounds good if true. Most long games loose focus, so if this can maintain story momentum that would be good.
