      Not sure if satire or not but I’ve been playing CS on my deck for a year.

            I believe that the default right? Should I try something else?

              I really don’t think experimental is the default.

                I believe I had to manually change it. I’ve added a lot of mods as well - this can cause some instabilities but I’ve found a happy balance. I average 25-30 frames on medium settings but as the game isn’t anything fast paced this works well for me.

        Is the performance there? I really want to play it on deck but I always just thought it would run at like 10 fps

              My max pop city so far is just shy of 100,000. I’d say the average is closer to 25. Frames drop when you scale across the map when you’re quite zoomed out, but not for more than a half second. It’s not the kind of game where I move the camera much - I tend to obsess over certain districts and niche building strategies lmao.

    32… that’s a sweet split of 16 for the vram and 16 for the ram. Supposing it works well it can completely fix any memory issues with any current games!

    I think a lot of people would have wet dreams about opening this hardware further by not soldering the memory to the mainboard, etc.

    Already looks pretty easy to upgrade the ssd, which is great. Now create a PC-like standard for this handheld size.

      Wont be perfect, but you cpuld theoretically design a case for the framework 13 mainboard and convert it into a handheld. It wont be cheap though.
