While it's great news that Bethesda is making an effort to make sure Starfield will run on Deck, I'd still like to recommend that most people wait for performance reports before buying and expecting a good experience.

"Tricks" like FSR should certainly make a single platform be able to last longer. Say what you will about the techs usefulness on top of the line hardware, low/mid level hardware like the deck/ally/switch is where it's greatest benefits lie.

My desktop gpu is an rx470 4gb.

It’s only slightly more powerful than the steamdeck. I’ve been waiting for the day when modern gaming can comfortably be done on an igpu.

I think we are basically there now.

FSR really shows it’s limitations when you’re running a low resolution to begin with. I want to like it, but it’s pretty noticeable and jarring with every game I’ve tried it with, including BG3.
