I remember that made some benchmarks really happy. Havent tried it in years seemed pretty hit or miss, wonder if theres any reason to try it out again. Seemed to benefit the lows more than anything.
Idk Ill probably keep using these cards for quite a while. The VII is a beast for compute 64 and 56 both good too and still able to game with them at more than acceptable frame rates and resolutions. Idk I guess what I considered acceptable might not be the norm though I was watching videos about various handhelds for my son who wants to buy one and the people in them were calling 52 fps unplayable.
There’s only two I’d recommend, Steam Deck, and AYN Odin 2. The windows handhelds are worthless battery hogs, and a terrible OS for handheld. The android handhelds are garbage with anything less than snapdragon. There’s some acceptable dimensity 1200 ones, but the Odin 2 is a gen2 and cheaper. I’m not even sure if Steam Deck is worth OLED, no hall effect or freesync, and the power savings are cheating. The original Deck used more power than the limit, while OLED uses the exact limit, so they’re lying through omission. OLED is also a cost saving edition with some things made cheaper, while “improved” in other ways, so it’s not a total win, and the power savings are a numbers game, but you DO get a bigger battery, which was rather small on the original. I found 45 FPS to be a reasonable compromise on the original. Meanwhile, there’s linux support on ARM, with x86 emulation, which if done right, could be a steam deck on ARM. That said, the actual Deck has superior support and controls, can slap on a battery pack. Also, if you go tablet, there’s a tablet that does 3D like the 3DS. Lots of choices, not like the old days of nothing good. Nintendo has hacked switch mods, switch 2 could come out 2024, while you can emulate switch on the odin2. shrug
