Thanks for making this video. I have a steam deck pre-order and a 4k tv so this is a feature I would love to have. It seems like docking your deck will continue to get better as they roll out updates.
I was wondering this exact question that you have answered. Since I was wanting to plug my future deck into a 4k portable OLED monitor to play low intensive games at 4k max setting like Hades and Undercooked the same game u mentioned.
I've though about whether or not it will have native GPU-Docking built in, but I think that since Valve isn't using Thunderbolt there's not much they can do.
On Desktop Mode you should be able to run pavucontrol and output 5.1 or 7.1 to your HDMI connector. Even in system settings you should be able to change profiles on every audio device.
fsr 2.0 is being modded very easily in all games now, and for previous gpus too, you should look into that ! but maybe in windows mode, don't know about linux / steam os.
It's nuts to see a handheld running God of War. Toying with the idea of selling my Switch, due to never using it, to get a Steamdeck, but will probably also never use it.
Good video! If you hook up the Steam Deck to a Beamer and run the game in the Steam Deck native aspect ratio, does it look decent? Or should I switch to desktop mode for that?
Hello. I'm getting a screen flickering whenever I have my Steam Deck plugged in. All of my other consoles and PC work fine. I have a Denon AVR-S960H connected to a Optoma UHD50X. The docking I have is a JSAUX. It keeps coming on the screen saying : "Looking for source".
Any issues with the RGB range? Unfortunately my anker nebula solar is limited only and you can't change the settings on the deck so I'm stuck with severely crushed blacks 🙁
The Steam Deck cool. Wish they would add the left stick on the bottom and kept the right on the top like a Xbox controller. Would've been cool. For those who are used to that type of style. How does Mass Effect and Fallout 4 and Skyrim play? :) Wonder if I can get away with playing Kingdom Hearts 3 if I installed Windows 11 on it. Lol. Since it sucks bad on the Switch. :( as long as I can play Portal I'm happy. Lol.
Man i love this channel Btw is there a way to go from 800p to higher Resolution on Monitors, in Gaming Mode? I have Black Boarders on the side in my 900p Screen
how do you make it output higher than 720 on a tv? I have mine connected to a 4k capable USB hub. But any games I try it says I can only do 720p on my LG C9 TV
All the USB audio devices I've used with the Deck are infuriating at best and miserable at worst. Even my very basic USB Mixer has these horrible static/white noise spices for no reason. It's clearly not a hardware issue, because with Windows installed I've never had any problems like that.
@@Skipti_LLC thanks!! I really needed that info. New sub. Do you think can i use a usb c to displayport 1.4 and then plug a displayport to hdmi 2.1 cable? Or that will give lag or something. Ty again
@@Skipti_LLC probably you already knows this but i just discovered that you can change the resolution to 4k without going to desktop mode. In gaming mode, in the game's steam page, you go to the gear icon, properties, and change "games resolution" to native. Then some games runs directly in 4k when you open them with a 4k monitor conected and other games runs at 800p but you can change the resolution directly in the in game settings.
I don't get why people are so into ultra wide monitors because two 1080p screens will give you more pixels. If they made screens that were 32:9 that would make more sense than 21:9.
32:9 is a thing, but the reason I use an Ultrawide monitor is for video editing - two monitors would put a thick black line right in the middle of my video timeline. I typically game on my TV
@@Skipti_LLC ah that makes sense. You just have to find one that ether mounts to the wall or has a small enough stand. Also have to have the $ yep I'm still looking for the perfect one and currently have to use two 16:9 side by side.
Apologies, I meant they’re competing in the same space, not that they are the same kind of technology. I got how it works wrong, FSR uses algorithmic upscaling to achieve a similar look to Nvidias DLSS, although how successful they are is a matter of debate.
@@Skipti_LLC Look definitely isn't similar, FSR is more like TAA or just TV upscaler, DLSS is more like XeSS or TSR. In terms of end results is totally different world, nothing to debate here it's measurable, maybe FSr 2.0 change that.
I think your giving false hope with this while i love the steam deck and have had mine for a week or so most AAA games really struggle at native resolution to get above 30-40fps and if you do get 60 you would be lucky to get 1:40 minutes out of it. Its still an impressive piece of kit but 1080p is a bit much for it natively but fsr can help. I find that running 40hz is the best option for battery life and to get a smooth performance plus it fills much better than 30. And when you running aaa intensive games like god of war or horizon zero dawn at 60 and especially unlocked the apu can hit 90C. The deck is much better for playing slightly older games or indie games. Stuff like the newer Prey, Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas all ran great strange brigade would run native 1280x800 at 70-90 fps at medium. But there’s other games i just cant get to fill smooth with hiccups under 30 even at low. As for battery life 1-2 hours aaa unlocked or 60, older or less intensive games 3-4, indie and turning down tdp and gpu clocks 6-7 hours. I haven’t tried windows yet but I’m gonna try to dual boot soon. So far my favorite game to play on it is persona 4 golden one of my favorite jrpg’s and it doesn’t take much power at all so you can get great battery life. I locked it at 40 put tdp down to 7 watts and the gpu at 700mhz. Also been playing Ni No Kuni and Dishonered Remastered which both run 60 no problem. My only complaint with the deck is the battery but i knew what to expect and that some games just won’t play smooth at 30fps low settings. Im still amazed playing games like god of war on a handheld and I’m sure there are many optimizations and updates coming to the deck and games soon and I can’t wait for more people get their hands on it.
? You start off by saying you don't think most AAA games will run well on the Deck, and then go on to list a bunch of AAA games that run fantastically on the Deck. I'm confused.
@@Skipti_LLC they run ok but I just get stuttering and drops all the time that get to me. Like I said I’m still impressed with the steam deck but enjoy playing less demanding games on it.
For 400$ you can buy a PS5 Digital. If you just use on TV/ Monitor PS5 Digital is the way to go. But my Deck is Amazing, cant stop playing with that Masterpiece.
Honestly idk why people shit on windows. Windows runs games often better with direct x. And alot has full compatibility support and windows isn't just good for gaming. I don't hate steam os on my deck but trying to use it for anything other than gaming is a bad experience.
I think the happy medium is using SteamOS for a console-like gaming experience, and then using something more refined like Windows (Or iPadOS???) to have a much more fleshed out desktop experience.
@@Skipti_LLC well even I can say steam os isn't better than windows at gaming. I've been gaming on pc since I was like 5 and windows has full support and doesn't have to rely on proton or etc to play games. That's my opinion but hey those who love it. Good for them.
People will jump on a bandwagon with anything, a lot of people want Windows for the anti-cheat compatibility or just to have a more familiar system. Valve's made the device open so it's up to the user to do what they want with it.
This was such an unexpectedly great video. Big, fat congratulations!

I have a feeling Valve has a trick up its sleeves for when the steam deck dock launches

Огромное спасибо чувак, очень хотел увидеть как будет выглядеть изображение на проекторе. В русскоязычном ютубе до сих пор нет примера.
Note FSR is not AI it is an algorithm
When you said "But enough of this, we both know why your here..." I was like, "Finally!!! He's going to connect it to the CRT!" 🥲
Patience...

One of first things I'll try whenever/if I get my deck hopefully :> I'll perhaps make a video or something.
It's nuts to see a handheld running God of War. Toying with the idea of selling my Switch, due to never using it, to get a Steamdeck, but will probably also never use it.
How is playing games like crusader kings and pillars of eternity on a TV with mouse and keyboard, enjoyable?
2:45 hey I remember that song :)
What about the middle ground being 1440p
Docked my steamdeck to a 4k tv. Its not plug and play as the deck rescales to the TV output. Then we you de dock it stays at that scale
Good video! If you hook up the Steam Deck to a Beamer and run the game in the Steam Deck native aspect ratio, does it look decent? Or should I switch to desktop mode for that?
Game Mode usually looks as good as desktop mode, native resolutions don't tend to matter that much unless you have stretching issues.

so could i plug this into a 4k TV then stream using nvidia shield from my pc and it would work 4k on the tv??

In most games you can access different resolutions in the settings menu in-game, but you'll be maxed out at 720p for 16x9 resolutions
@@Skipti_LLC thank you!
What about Plimbo's Big Adventure?
you remind me of jeff dahmer
😂
how do you make it output higher than 720 on a tv? I have mine connected to a 4k capable USB hub. But any games I try it says I can only do 720p on my LG C9 TV
You probably have to switch to Desktop mode, Game Mode is limited to 720p
You can probably get surround sound in desktop mode with a USB surround sound adapter.

7:12 Steam deck have some troubles with 800p at this game so 4k is propably not possible.
Not every game will run, but older or highly optimized titles perform beautifully!
I don't play anymore but as someone in his 30's, its just insane what those kids have today lmao
1440p minecraft test please
Ty very mach for the video, it helped me a lot. But i still has one question. Does the steam deck support 4k 120 hz via hdmi? Thanks a lot
Not through HDMI, but it can do 4k 120 over Displayport with a compatible adapter
@@Skipti_LLC thanks!! I really needed that info. New sub. Do you think can i use a usb c to displayport 1.4 and then plug a displayport to hdmi 2.1 cable? Or that will give lag or something. Ty again
@@LucaPandaman That might work, but you'd be spending a lot on cables and adapters. I don't think there's a signaling reason it wouldn't work though🤔

Damn no way to use FSR when docked then?? I guess you could do game mode at 720p and FSR up to 4k?
