Very nice! A clear win for the Switch 2. The only problem I have... I don't really trust that guy about being unbiased after some shit he pulled in his Hogwarts Legacy comparisons: In the portable mode video, he sets everything to "low" on Steam Deck and uses the worst upscaler of this game (FSR1) and doesn't activate HDR, probably to show a very bad video quality on the Steam Deck. Then he hides these stupid settings with an 30 fps lock... without it, the fps would be way over 60 fps, probably around the 90 fps limit of the Steam Deck OLED. Medium to high settings + FSR 3 (or XESS) + HDR on would have been a much better choice for a comparison. In another Hogwarts comparison he sets the Steam Deck to native 4K to show performance problems and then makes it appear, that the Switch 2 also runs in 4K:
Here, a comparison with the Steam Deck in 1440p would have been a lot fairer, since the Switch 2 version runs docked with "up to 1440p". So I wouldn't put it beneath that guy, if his Steam Deck footage of Star Wars Outlaws would have some settings to make the Steam Deck look extra bad... f. e. running the game from a slow microSD card instead of running it from the internal SSD to increase stutters. |
Seems somewhat in line with this:
Steam Deck frame rate drops into the mid-20s as soon as you get on the speeder bike at about 7 minutes in and it has the same kind of stutter drop to single digit FPS momentarily here too and then it drops under 20 fps as you continue on the speeder bike. He does change the upscaling method to Intel XeSS at one point but the frame rate tanks again as soon as he gets on the bike (sub 20 fps at times).
