I'll never understand these articles... Like, sure, that's cool? Kind of like saying you can run Doom on a fridge.
I'm not going to play Doom on the fridge tho, and I'm not playing Portal RTX on my Steam Deck.
I guess for people that only have a deck for gaming this is more relevant, but still, why force ray tracing on a low power device??
Also Portal RTX changed some textures (like the portals) for some reason, I'd rather play the original instead.
You answered your own question: it's for people who only have a deck for gaming. And the comparison to doom on a fridge doesn't really hold, as the steam deck is designed for gaming.
Fair enough, I'll just recommend them to go play the original at 60 fps and native resolution :P
Do you think it has to be about you? It's not about you.
I'M gonna play Doom on your fridge.
Damn... okay, fuck it, does it have co-op? I'll get some beers.
I think it does! Let's warm up that fridge!
Given it's primarily sold as a gaming device, I find it very odd that you frame this as the exception rather than the rule.
It’s all I have these days.
Well, and my switch.
People whose only gaming device is a deck, not people that have a deck only for gaming :'D I'd use my computer instead for intensive graphics.
The Steam Deck does have RT Cores, might as well use them for something lol
