Really looking forward to this for my handheld coming. Hopefully the Z1E works well with this. I returned my Ally waiting for the next big handheld and realized how much it changed the way I game.
Downloaded Forspoken demo yesterday, turned on FG and it was horrible, artifacts everywhere, then I remembered it needs vsync, turned it on and it was awesome, it bumped my ~30fps (rx6600 on almost need details) to very comfortable 60fps without any visual glitches
There was this weird metallic glow on everything dark though…
I’m excited for this. Its a shame they don’t allow dlss upscaling to work with AMD frame generation. Hopefully they can work out the kinks with vrr though.
For me latency is becoming the next issue. Based on Dlss3, not to mention you’ll usually use it in conjunction with other latency damaging things like RTX, I don’t think I’ll ever use frame-gen. It’s just very noticeable and makes it kind of pointless outside cutscenes for me.
You make a very good point about cutscenes. I’d love if there there was a frame gen & upscaler that exclusively worked on pre-rendered cutscenes to fix the issues in older games of cutscenes looking way worse than gameplay. I know for popular titles, there are sometimes mods that replace the cutscenes videos with upscaled versions, not having to fuss around with that could be really neat. But for gameplay, I’d much rather play at even 50fps native with variable refresh, without artifacts or additional latency, than a faked 120fps that still runs at 60hz of latency with added artifacting.
I posted elsewhere about my setup. I have a rig in one room and a mini PC set up as a “console” using HoloISO connected to a TV. I stream games to it.
If it’s your only rig I recommend what the other person said. Get a full PC or catch a gaming laptop on sale unless you have a very specific use case. You can play modern games on higher end ones but you’ll get more bang for your buck out of a PC. You can make your own Ship of Theseus and upgrade parts one at a time.
Depends on the game but I got mine on a black friday sale (4 years ago) for $500 and I had no problems with Battlefield V, Death Stranding, Deathloop, Mount & Blade Bannerlord etc. Even without a discount $1000 is a nice budget for a decent PC (Not including the monitor since mini PCs also don’t come with a monitor). If you catch discounts you can even build a great one.
It looks awesome and glad this market is getting more competition. But if it runs windows it’s an automatic out for me. Steam deck is just a great balance of power and efficiency while supporting Linux gaming.
