Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters Finally Answered

Ойындар

When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So, can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?

    A 40fps cap wouldn't look good unless they are able to to downclock the Deck's screen to 40hz. 40fps on a 60hz display will lead to incorrect frame delivery. However, Valve has said they are working on getting the screen to downclock to 40hz so that 40fps would still look smooth. I also believe the Phawx got it working in Windows, so that's a positive indication for SteamOS.

    Can the panel itself be set to 40 Hz though? Usually 60 Hz panels can do 50 Hz but rarely 40 Hz. 24/48 Hz would be really great too for apps like netflix and such. This is why the next revision has to be 120 Hz and adaptive sync. And OLED too (better quality and saves battery life compared to LCD).

I recently bought the trilogy and I'm constantly blown away because of how amazing the graphics look, given it's TDP and form factor. I also have to say that it looks particularly awesome on Switch's OLED screen. Lastest patches increased docked resolution to 900p and brought back things like the motion blur intensity setting and Parallax Oclusion Mapping, that were missing when it first released. But, enough about the Switch haha. Great review, Alex! The future looks amazing for the Steam Deck and portable gaming!

    Alex, how come you didn't play with TAA + FSR ? The TAA implementation in Crysis 1 Remastered is superb IMO. Extremely clean and stable image and one of the most needed upgrades for the original, given all the shimmery vegetation and some of the shader aliasing. FSR just for cleaning up the image when running from 360 or 540p

    Amazing video! Can't wait to get mine (hopefully in July). I don't think it really fits your content style, but I'd really love to see someone picking up some games that the Deck's control scheme wouldn't be immediately suited to like RTS games, complex simulators etc, and pushing how far you could make those games "Fun to Play" (control scheme wise) on the Deck.

    50hz is probably abit too high here, 45 or 40hz would be a better bet. The only issue is that you would want to make sure FPS is consistent as the drop would be to Half the refresh rate, instead of being from a Third from Half (eg: 30fps cap at 60hz) or a Quater from a Third (eg: 40fps cap at 120hz).
