So the R9 290X is now on par with the GTX 960? Wasn't it faster than the GTX 970, especially in DX12 and Vulcan games?

But the system requirements often are rough estimates, probably an AMD R9 280 or an AMD Van Gogh (Steam Deck) will do for 720p/30fps.

AMD stopped driver updates for 300 series and older while Nvidia still continues to support their older GPUs with driver updates such as the 900 series. No driver updates = shat performance.

The Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection got Steam Deck verified, which suggests stable 30 fps in 720p. So it seems that the Steam Deck can keep up with an R9 290X due to newer AMD drivers. Would be funny, if it is even faster on Steam Deck.
