>>1047951 Those were only rumors, although Nvidia might want get back into the ARM market considering the AI stuff.

>>1047951 What? Did they forget about Nvidia Shield? >>1047933 >Nintendo "could" go AMD for switch 2 since nvidia is all about AI these days They could, but that could also mean that the Switch 2 will not be 100% backwards compatible with the Switch 1.

>>1048018 President of Nintendo said it will be backwards compatible.

>>1043941 >Windows is better for gaming For handhelds? Nyo. A lack of proper sleep/hibernation for pick up and play makes Windows inferior. You are cucking yourself out of a quintessential handheld experience that is as important as portability. At that point you should honestly consider a laptop instead.

>>1048916 Nyrna works really well for hibernation on Windows and Linux. https://nyrna.merritt.codes/

>>1048918 Really cool. Resuming from hibernation still crashes my games though.

>>1048928 I use Windows and had 2 crashes ever with Nyrna on 2 tests of the same game, just didn't use Nyrna with that game. No crashes with others but might crash more on Linux.

>>1048930 I'm on Windows too. What are your sleep settings?

>>1048943 You're shilling Steam Deck (Linux) in 1017478, against Ally (Windows) in 1044004, and made a fanboy comment against Windows in 1048916, "a lack of proper sleep/hibernation makes Windows inferior for gaming handhelds," but Nyrna works really well for hibernation on Windows. Nyrna's also very unknown, it's not Microsoft Word. I don't think you knew Nyrna existed until I said Nyrna, then pretended you use Nyrna and exaggerated its crashes to fanboy Linux. I had 2 crashes ever with Nyrna on 2 tests of the same game and just didn't use Nyrna with that game. I offered Nyrna to solve hibernation problems, not to argue with an ideological fanboy posting Uno reverse cards, so I'm gone.

>>1048950 What a bizarre post

>>1044457 Hold up. I forgot to shill the SteamDeck today. Just buy a SteamDeck. >>1048950 I 'uno. That seems farfetched and schizo, anon. I own both and Nyrna doesn't fix my problem. Win11 sleep mode on button press just werks, but sometimes it doesn't. And hibernate has crashed every game I tried it with it.

Okay, so assuming the Steam Deck OLED is appealing to me but at the same time don't mind saving up another $200, is the ROG Ally X worth it?

>>1049301 Isn't it obvious? JBSD. >>1049047 No, but seriously consider what (you) want to play and how big (you) want it to be. You'll be holding it up most of the time and neither of these devices have a kickstand. I'm biased towards the GPD Win 4 because it's the only game in town still trying to be a PSP-PC. However, hands down the best "Switch-like" is the SteamDeck. It sucks that regardless of how powerful these devices are they still can't do something the PSP and DS could do. Pause. Get the Ally and you'll see what I'm talking about. Put the Ally to sleep mid-game and leave it in a bag. You'll find it an hour later, hot to the touch, aaaaaaand it's dead.

>>1049047 drink bleach, shit stain

>>1048918 >Nyrna works really well for hibernation on Windows and Linux. https://nyrna.merritt.codes/ Downloaded this and it just works. I don't know how to thank you, so I'm just expressing gratitude.

>>1051817 I wonder if the Ally X fixed those problems, I'm kinda interested in the GPD Win 4 although I'm probably gonna wait for CES before I make the purchase.

>>1049301 valve is planning to release steamos to other vendors, so you can install steamos on ally when they do. Deck also has ergonomics and battery life on smaller games on its side, don't know if ally is worth $200 more, but its christmas anyways.

>>1052115 >I wonder if the Ally X fixed those problems, I'm kinda interested in the GPD Win 4 although I'm probably gonna wait for CES before I make the purchase. Asus listened to feedback and the Rog Ally X fixed most problems of the Rog Ally including heating issues with demanding games. Asus didn't fix pausing, but third party programs do: >>1048918 Compatibility advantages for Rog Ally X exceed just Windows too, Rog Ally X has premium tech so more demanding games run on it.

>>1052122 He said Ally X not Ally. Deck battery is 40 watt hours, Ally X is 80 watt hours

For those curious with my issue; it was that I was trying to play slop. Games with easy anti-cheat do not pause. Nyrna highlights this and I didn't bother to read. So CODs, Elden Ring, and what have you don't pause at all because of anti-cheat. The device will just turn itself back on and the device melting would resume. Worked with Elden Ring just fine on the Steam Deck. Despite it running like dogwater ofc. Oh, wait. Off script. JBSD. >>1051867 Stay upset schizo. >>1052124 I fall into the thought camp that if I'm paying upwards of $800 I should be getting at least a smooth 60 fps on low settings with vaseline filters. Although, it's not Asus's fault that triple AAA devs release unoptimized garbage that requires ray tracing.

>>1052201 >Playing Call of Duty

>>1052336 I also played Marvel Rivals on it too.

>>1052397 do you actually main Peni? I have only ever met a few people who main and masturbate to peni, a lot of people just jerk off to her. who do you main?

>>1052414 He doesn't main anyone because /v/ doesn't actually play games.

>>1052468 Playing IWP right fucking now cum guzzler >>1052397 Play Lobotomy Corporation, it's perfect 4u!

>>1052414 Not that anon but I only play Jeff because nobody plays supports, and Jeff is easy, fun, and incredibly effective at enhancing the team. Rivals is trash, but the girls were cute so I gave it a shot.

>Thunderbolt 5 exists >Thunderbolt 5 eGPU does NOT exist What was the point of a bandwidth increase if you're never gonna use it for the thing that needed the fucking bandwidth increase the most? Hasn't it existed for half a year now? WTF is this shit? Are some faggots holding it back deliberately to keep selling shitty mobile GPUs? Forcing artificial limitations like how Televisions couldn't have DisplayPort. The 80Gbps up/down bandwidth port exists, now actually use the goddamn thing. Only videos I can find about TB5 are soytards plugging docks or SSDs into it.

>>1052564 Thought Rivals of Aether, looked and it's Marvel Rivals, is that some capeshit?

>>1052595 Yes. Overwatch but not designed by fags (chinese publisher) but soy source material (marvel) Usually with chinese games I'm immediately concerned with anti-cheat and monetization, but I don't see any real issues there past the typical cosmetic-only battlepass. (Worked on Linux day 1. If it didn't work the only interaction I'd have with the game then-on would be the peni porn. Cucking linux via anticheat is a pretty great litmus test.) I didn't play Overwatch, as MOBAs give me hives, but I decided to give Marvel a try due to buzz from friends. It's mediocre. Small selection of maps, limited lines from the announcer though surprising cross-character interaction. The funny part is that "mediocre but good character designs/not shit lore" means its probably better than all the other hero shooters on the market. Still deleted it.

>>1052593 pcie 5 exists, but no gpus exceed pcie 4 specs, probably something similar

>>1052397 Wait, marvel rivals doesn't have an anticheat?

i fell for deck memes and regret buying this piece of shit, linux is a tranny OS and there's a bunch of other shitty things steamies and deck shills never talk about with this device. >Memory cards stops working frequently and you have to restart, remove, re insert. >The wifi also frequently breaks, you have to go to the developer mode and change a stupid setting and restart. >Google chrome needs to be reinstalled all the time because it just won't update >Piracy is a pain in the ass, shit like vc redis missing and a bunch of crap due to it being a tranny OS >A bunch of games have shitty proton compatibility where you have to use specific versions instead of plug and play like windows >It's just simply not comfy to use on the bed, despite being a handheld I used it docked all the time for some reason even though I already have a desktop >L1 button breaks because of a shitty fuck up with the measurements and tolerance of the case allowing the push button to angled from a little drop and become to far to be pressed >The battery life is fucking TERRIBLE

>>1052961 >he trusted the 8moe echochamber instead of researching for himself

>>1052961 If you hate Linux that much, you can install Windows on it.

>>1052961 Other than being filtered by piracy, Memory card, wifi issues, L1 button being jammed seem hardware level faults. Claim warranty right away, these must be replaced. But I doubt you paid full for it so you probably got an early unit from ebay/scalper early unit for cheap. You didn't mention fan noise or display quality, the most common ones so are those okay? >It's just simply not comfy to use on the bed, despite being a handheld I used it docked all the time Then these handhelds are simply too large for your hands. Ally and Ayn odin are similar too. GPD mini is the only "smaller" than steamdeck device. >shit like vc redis missing and a bunch of crap As for pirated games, you'll have to install vcredist, just like you'd for windows. If you never had to do that in windows, you probably kept it auto-updated win11. There's even a lutris plugin now for that for ease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q2HuokqJo4 >google chrome, steamies and tranny os I genuinely recommend you to keep to desktop or windows devices then and be safe environment. Don't dual boot windows on it you'll brick it.

>>1052961 There were plenty of warnings, you chose to ignore them and believe marketing hype by retards and Mark.
