And a SSD I guess.
Alternative question: Do you want steam to offer a console only version? Same motherboard, just no screen or battery.
I think at that point just build a computer
But this would be cheap af. What, $250?
I doubt it’s cheaper
Before ifixit official sold Steam Deck parts, all the prices got leaked and the motherboard was sold for $350. When they officially started selling steam deck parts the motherboard was no longer included, but that’s unsurprising if that one part is going to sell for so much when a 64GB deck is only $400.
The Steam Deck works so well because the screen is only 720p, and even then people have complained about low framerates on some games. Scaling it up to 4k for a modern TV would drop the performance even more.
It looks like a great handheld, but I think trying to use it as a console wouldn’t work.
I asked before and people say it works perfectly fine https://lemmy.ca/post/2861180 It renders at 720p and upscales to 1080p.
You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It’s not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.
