minus-squareSneezycatlinkfedilinkEnglish7•edit-211 months agoI’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.

minus-squareSneezycatlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-211 months agoFair enough, I’ll just recommend them to go play the original at 60 fps and native resolution :P

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•11 months ago I guess for people that only have a deck for gaming 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.
