| numberwang said: Nintendo Switch 2 vs Steam Deck OLED |
Switch 2 wipes the floor with the Steam Deck OLED version. It's too bad you can't lock the night/day cycle in the game so you could get exactly the same time of day in game for exact lighting comp, but this isn't even close, the Steam Deck OLED version is like a trainwreck. The Switch 2 version looks like it has a lot more foliage on the terrain of the open world area too (higher setting?) and better lighting/reflections in the indoor areas.
Also Deck OLED needs to pull 22+ watts just to get that performance which looks it leaves the Steam Deck OLED with just 1 hour of battery life, the Switch 2 is operating on 10 watts. And if you dock the Switch 2, this gap becomes worse for Steam Deck OLED. Keep in mind too Steam Deck OLED also got a die shrink and performance boost to TSMC 6nm, so the fact that it's being smoked by Samsung 8nm says either Samsung's 8nm is better than we thought or the Switch 2 is really, really well optimized hardware.
