Surprisingly for the most part, yes.
A good example for me was that it ran Black Myth Wukong at around 40fps.

Not criticizing, I genuinely want one, but tech advances quickly and it seems everyone is jumping to the PC handheld market (and I am glad for it).

Depends, I played Yakuza 8 with no issues ok launch and the newer stuff like the Ally haven’t had a significant jump in performance.

Like 98% of them, yes.

You mean on the small screen, right?
People’s use cases seem to be wildly different from mine. I mainly use it in TV mode as a couch gaming machine. For most modern 3d games you have to turn graphics quality down substantially that way.

The reality is, deck can handle most games out there in handheld mode. For the latest and greatest games, visual fidelity has to be sacrificed. While the deck has its used on the TV, it’s not a good choice if that’s all you will be using it for.
My deck, TV docked experiences have been with Mario Kart wii, doom 3, cuphead, SOMA, Scorn, Stray and a bunch of older 2d and 3d titles. I think it handled these games well. Not so sure it would be the same with “AAA latest and greatest”.

I’m by no means talking about AAA latest and greatest. I tried Everspace 2 and Visions of Mana. Both need considerable tuning down, after which Everspace manages a fluid experience, while VoM still stutters while looking horrible. I haven’t dared to even try the likes of Witcher 3 (which people are talking about playing on the deck). I’ll probably stick with pixel art etc for TV mode, and go back to the ps5 for more demanding things.

But the deck is also insanely good at decoding screens. I stream triple A Games from my PC to my deck on the TV with ease.

Yeah, I’d be concerned about that too… I mean who is not in for a Switch replacement/successor?
