Not feeling a need to replace mine anytime soon. It's able to run more than enough stuff I haven't played yet to cover any time I might want to spend gaming away from home. And at home, I have my desktop.
Also there is steam link if it isn't beefy en9ugh for a AAA title and your desktop is beefy enough
It also works through the net, which some people don't know about. It used to be LAN only at first
There're so many games I haven't played so it's easy to find games that perform well on the Deck. That'll still be the case for a long time, so I don't know I'll actually have to upgrade. But I'm also still fine with an RX 580.
I agree, honestly. The way I have it configured, I can even run Starfield (although the way I initially had it, the graphics looked like something off of a PS2/3 or a 3DS, and now the loading screens actually give me plenty of time to read the loading screen tips).
And the indie games (and also Elder Scrolls Online) that I normally play don’t even give me that much trouble.
