the judgy boomer vibe is fun for memes but let’s remember tis the corpos who are actually wasting untold amounts of energy, not you and your 4070, friendo 😘
the level of gaming you can accomplish now at less than 100 W TDP blows me away
a lot of it is happening on old hardware!

I was gaving exclusively on the Deck from January to the start of December…
…But Path of Exile 2 I’m streaming from my desktop to get acceptably clear visuals and smooth framerates. I’m back heating my house with my desktop.

From your desktop to your deck? How’s the effective frame rate of that?

I’ve done this with other games (to the Deck and to and from other devices), but that’s not a question you need to ask. Streaming a game doesn’t have a noteworthy impact on the frame rate anymore in the age of GPUs with built-in encoding circuitry. Provided you have a half-decent home network, it’s hard to distinguish it from playing directly.
