And my gaming PC is collecting dust since then. Dragon Age, BG 3, Avowed this thing still goes strong.

Can't wait for the next version, already saving money for it.

How well does Avowed run on it?

[–] Fermiverse@gehirneimer.de 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Good, it runs out of the box on low settings. I fiddled a bit with the settings and even turned textures up to medium. I set it to 30 fps instead of 60.

Forgive me for asking, but why not run it on the desktop so you can get better settings (especially that FPS) and then stream it to the deck?

[–] Fermiverse@gehirneimer.de 2 points 8 months ago

fair question.

I prefer using less power if possible. The game looks great even on low and on the small screen its crisp and beautiful. Instead of two PC running I use a low power device. However for games the require high FPS like shooter games, still the desktop, mouse and kb is my goto.

I stream my PS5 though if possible and the wife is watching TV.
