Kinda shocked on the oled version
So I bought the 64gb deck near the middle of September of this year I'm kind of puzzled why steam didn't notify customers of the oled version coming in November and to direct them to that instead cause I would have prefered the oled version especially for the battery life and bigger screen and most of all less fan nosie and heat. I don't hate steam or valve I have been a major supporter for over 10 years I built my first pc just to have steam but I do feel a little let down that I'm seeing this after two in a half months of owning the base deck does anyone else feel steam should have directed customers to the oled model ?especially with them knowing it was going to be released in November? I respect everyones opinion and would like to know what deck owner's and steam users think of this?

It's better but I would only say the OLED is worth buying if you're playing new AAA games. OG Deck is fine for Indies and older titles. There's also the ROG Ally and Legion Go also.

For me and I'm sure many others, I would prefer to play my older titles on an OLED. I'm not actually concerned with the performance increase, to be honest. As with the other post above, I waited a very long time because I wanted OLED. If they had made the announcement, people would have been free to decide if they wanted to buy the LCD version in the meantime or to wait (I would have even waited another year if it was announced that far ahead). They did not do this, and you, I, and everyone else knows why.

It's not.
Go get a 3DS and a New 3DS and play Majora's Mask on both. I'll wait.

I, too, am super thrilled that I recently spent $600 on a Steam Deck and am now getting pounded in the ass and will effectively have to spend over $1,000 to have the OLED Deck that they said they had no plans for earlier this year which virtually everybody had been asking about since the Steam Deck was first announced. It is totally cool and normal that they announced it 7 days before its release instead of 4-6+ months like every other system for the last two decades, which totally definitely wasn't a decision made to offload the LCD models before they lose their value so that their customers are the ones who get raw dogged in the anus instead of them. At least now I know when the Steam Deck 2 comes out not to bother buying one until they release the Steam Deck 3. I look forward to using it in 10 years.
Can't agree more man you know where steam support directed me is here to create a chat and was told I cannot be compensated?? Lol I'm not even asking for that I'm asking that I can send my old deck back and get the new one sent to me and I'll even pay the difference but nope I've been a supporter of steam and valve over 10 years now and that's the response I got go to the discussion forums really professional 👎 but it's good to see other people feel the same as me 🍻

Yeah, they should have a trade-in program at the very least. I want the OLED, but I don't feel like giving Valve more money for something that's a refresh and not a next-gen Deck.

No not to say it is marginal, but focusing on that as though it is the main issue.
For me it is the principal of it all. Again to each their own and you are certainly free to believe what you want but I am telling you from my perspective this certainly could have been handled better.:RT_moon:
My initial reply in this was to a specific claim about performance. I don't really care that much about the rest of the nontroversy.

Yeah, sure. It's technically a better device that was announced days before release. Oh well.

Fair. However to call it nontroversy is a bit of a reach and I personally wouldn't think of it that way. Consider what others that are affected by this feel in comparison to how you think about it. I suppose it is the problem of those that complain rather than those that are complacent however this in general would never be a fair thing even if it was affecting you friend. Anyways have a wonderful day :RT_moon:

For you and others, it might only be a 2-3 fps performance increase. For those of us who primarily use the Deck to play older titles, it is a 50% performance increase. There is absolutely no question that the OLED has significantly better performance.

It's not though. It's a node shrunk Van Gogh APU with the same specs and RAM that's a tad faster. It genuinely is a handful of FPS gained at 15W TDP, most games won't even break into double digit percentage gains. At lower TDPs, it's effectively equal or marginally worse. For all intent and purpose, they're effectively the same chip as far as the end user is concerned.

This is consistent in video reviews, and most written reviews either don't mention it or only have a brief blurb about it because the performance difference isn't worth talking about.

Here, let me help you.

90/60 = 1.5. That means +50%.

Most of the games I play would easily run at 300fps or higher if the display would support it (though 90 would be plenty for me). Your use case is not everyone's use case. Not everybody uses their Steam Deck to play games released in the past year.

That's refresh rate. It's not doing anything for games that aren't already hitting above 60 (BTW, 3D games don't have to be released in the last year to get sub 60FPS performance on the Deck. There are games that are a decade old that are demanding enough to do that).
You're citing a metric that that doesn't boost the performance of a system, but instead only matters if the rest of the hardware is already pushing that performance to begin with. That's not happening that often in games where high FPS really matters.

That is either insanely doubtful, or you're playing games so old that they're functionally niche titles at this point, or your emulating (which depending on system and games, higher refresh rates still might not matter if the game is designed to run at a set FPS and doesn't work properly if ran faster). We're talking about an APU that's in a similar performance vein as a GTX 1050.

Games are only relevant if I say they are.

My friend, I think you might have a touch of the narcissism. There are plenty of people who enjoy older games. People other than you can also have valid opinions. Can I get you a sippy cup of juice?

I’m sure if you all keep crying you’ll be able to pool your tears and they will coagulate into a new Steam Deck OLED.

This is uncalled for. There is no need to devolve the conversation from a constructive difference to a shameful battle of insults and jabs. How can we expect steam to do better if we are just at each other over this whole thing?

Don't put words in my mouth because you don't have a good counterargument.

Point to where I said otherwise. Heck, point to where I even IMPLIED otherwise.

You don't have to play the newest games to hit sub 60 FPS. Older games absolutely can be demanding enough to not hit 60 FPS. Had you properly read and acknowledged what I actually said, you'd've seen that I've already addressed this point.

In order for the culmination of your claims to make sense (particularly the 300 FPS or higher on Deck), you wouldn't be playing decade old games. You'd be playing games that are nearing 2 to 3 decades old, which is niche, or emulating.


The simple fact is, the Deck is a QoL update. Performance is effectively unchanged. You failing to argue (in what is my opinion bad faith) on technicality doesn't change that.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased a Steam Deck. I can't take consoles and televisions out with me. I prefer to unlock framerates and play at 144hz on my monitor, but that isn't an option outside. I was waiting to see if they would release an OLED revision before buying the LCD Steam Deck because otherwise they said the Steam Deck 2 would be late 2025 at the earliest, and it became heavily implied that there wouldn't be anything like that until that time. That is effectively the entire discussion.

I think you might find that playing games 20+ years old is much more common than you think. Perhaps not for you and for your circle of friends, but it's actually a very large community. For us, 90hz is a 50% improvement over 60%, and one that many of us would absolutely wait for. You cannot argue that is not the case. You are making the argument that anybody who does not share your viewpoint does not deserve to be considered, and that only your own tastes are common enough to matter.

I purchased the Steam Deck begrudgingly as a band-aid until the Steam Deck 2 which I anticipated having OLED and a higher framerate, so that I could support Valve and have my one-stop-shop emulation device. Then, out of nowhere, the device fitting my exact needs comes out, and I am expected to pay full price after having just done so with no warning that an update was coming almost immediately. I am not the only person who has experienced this. There are many people who use the Steam Deck the way that I do, and there are many people that use the Steam Deck the way that you do. They all deserve to be considered, and it is unfair of you to dismiss anybody else's use case. If somebody is experiencing 50% higher framerates in the games they are playing, that is a tremendous difference. For comparison, the framerate of the OLED Switch is identical to the non-OLED (refresh, not performance upgrade).

You need to learn how to step outside of yourself and consider the realities of others. I'm bored. Maybe I'll come see what nuggets of wisdom you squeeze out later, but this isn't a productive discussion.
