Yea tbh, this is a deal breaker territory for me. And it's not just the performance but also how buggy the entire Windows experience really is. And since there is no Radeon settings or anything like that on Windows, it goes back to the comment I posted a few days ago where, is the Steam Deck an OEM only device where AMD is hands off with the driver and it's up to Valve to implement the game ready drivers that AMD will provide them?
Because now it no longer becomes a "PC" experience. It is now a Steam OS experience. And while Valve will improve compatibility and such, there is no fallback to Windows if shit hits the fan. And the issue is that it's hard to tell whether or not they will improve the Windows experience. And even if they do fix all the Windows issues, the biggest question is who is managing the Driver?
Ironically I am regretting the fact that my device is coming so early now. If I keep it, then I might regret it in the long run but if I get a refund and it turns out to be a non issue, then I basically have to wait until next year. Dang it Valve...
