Do you have a Steam Deck?

[Spada]

I find the idea pretty tempting that you can play the games in your steam library on a handheld
But is there a limitation to that thing?
Like certain games that you cannot play because it needs more graphic power?

There are sincerely a few obstacles. While it may manage maximum games very well, you might run into problems with greater graphically traumatic games. Titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or different AAA games with high device necessities may not run as easily, specifically on better settings.
That being said, the Steam Deck is constantly being improved with software program updates, and Valve is usually operating on enhancing performance and compatibility. For most video games, although, you’ll have a wonderful revel in, and for those who require a piece extra electricity, you could usually tweak the settings to improve overall performance.
It’s really a strong alternative in case you want gaming on the move, but for sure video games, simply keep in mind that you would possibly want to adjust settings or test if they’re supported well on the device.

its so much more powerful than I expected and im amazed what it can run. Manage your expectations and its a wonderful device.

Arthritis means i dont use mine as half as much as id like due to the claw like grip one uses to use a controller.

imho get playing before your body fails.

Dont have a Steam Deck but a ROG ALLY. Which is the same concept just a bit more powerful and running on a full Windows OS instead of Steam OS.
The reason i did go for the ROG ALLY was that i do a lot of modding, something that is not easy on the Steam Deck and i just generally feel more comfortable with a Windows enviroment where i have more control over everything.
Also there are quiet a few games that dont work on the Steam Deck because of its Linux based OS while the ROG ALLY plays pretty much everything that runs on Windows.
Plus higher res (1920x1080 VS 1280x800) and better refresh rate (120hz vs 75/90 (depending on the Deck model) .
Price was about the same so i did go with the ROG ALLY. So far after 8 months still very happy with it.
Only downside is the very "meh" battery life but that was fixed in the upgraded ALLY X model which is now the standard one.

In general i really like gaming on those PC handhelds, its just a different feeling playing your Steam library games on the couch or in bed without needing to sit in front of a desktop PC or laptop.
Played a lot more since i got the ROG.

Funny timing for this thread, I literally got mine just today. It seems good so far. I've only played one game so far, Palia. Seems to work fine, though I'm not sure if the graphic power you're talking about is comparable to Palia....

i got gta v running great on mine. Amazed that it worked (stock settings were a nightmare stutterfest but a google showed what to set and it was great)

I have an OLED and bought an LCD for a friend. Yes, there are some games that you can not play on it, but that is usually do to their anti-cheat blocking Linux.

This is Rift Apart running on the OLED:

If you want modern AAA games to run on it at 4k with 60FPS+, you will not get it.

Also check your games here:

...to see how they run.

Don't have one. Won't get one. The approved third party that sells them here charges a ridiculous markup for what you get. They also don't bother renewing stock for the cheaper versions, so all you can get is the most expensive one.

If you live in a region where Valve sell directly and you find a Deck tempting, I'd say get one. Give it a whirl.
