I'm Curious if you have tried using the Steam deck while outside or commuting. How does it compare to the switch?

Compared to the Switch, it is heavier and bigger, so it's hard to hold onto it after taking it out of the bag. I'm not playing games with it, so I'm nervous about carrying it outside. Also, the battery is low.
@@office-shintani You can get 5-6 hours of playtime with Final Fantasy XIV online with optimized Steam Deck settings. Some less modern games can get 6-8 hours. More modern games get about 3-3.5 hours with optimized settings. I’d advise looking into changing the TDP, GPU MHz, display resolution windows mode with FSR enabled (lower default resolution than Steam Deck will activate FSR), enable 40hz and FPS. 40 is the sweet spot.

I was surprised that FF Online could play for 6 hours. I didn't tweak the TDP or FSR settings, so I'll have to adjust them a bit. Reducing the GPU load will extend the life of the Steam Deck!!

@@office-shintani 30FPS / 30Hz with all settings turned down can get you 6 hours in FFXIV while 40FPS / 40Hz can get you 5. FSR usually works well for other games, but not so much FFXIV since there isn’t many resolution options. FSR works well for emulators, especially games that naturally have a lower resolution. I usually lower TDP and GPU Mhz until my FPS drops. If I see 100% usage then I increase 1 point on TDP or 100 GPU MHz. You don’t want to see 100% on both of those. I usually try to keep both of those numbers below 60%

@@office-shintani Trying to think of an example. Sorry that I can’t translate it. Here’s an example. Let’s say that for Persona 5 Royal you try 5 TDP and 500 GPU MHz. You notice that CPU % is 20% on 5 TDP while GPU is 100% on 500 MHz. FPS dropped from 40 to 20. Increase the GPU MHz from 500 to 600 and see if it helps. If it’s still 100% give it another 100Mhz until the GPU utilization is lower than 100%. That will bring the FPS back up from 20 to 40 once it stabilizes. You’ll know right away when you’ve hit the sweet spot. It sounds complicated but you’ll have to experiment for each game. At least game settings exist. It will help to save several watts per game doing this. Some games can go from 16W to 7-11W sometimes without much of a performance loss. A lot of power is wasted if it’s not lowered.
