What does the 500 Gb model have to do with anything?
I think that OP is providing all details they think might be relevant, so whether they a little confused or not they got the spirit and I appreciate it.
I was under the impression each model performed differently, that's why I specified the model. It clearly doesn't, so eh. Sorry. Didnt think it was that upsetting
You're doing great lol. Back in my helpdesk days I loved talking to people who overshared to be helpful.
I guess OP believes that the drive size has a link with the Deck's performance? 🤔
I mean, the 64 Gb emmc does have lower performance on load times which could pose problems on certain games beyond just lengthening loading times, but NMS isn't one of these games.
Nothing? I just think maybe it performs better with more space? Who cares tbh
That's not really how it works. It'll load quicker than on the 64 GB eMMC model, but that's due to different technologies and nothing to do with storage space.
No, not really. Of course if you are using a disk that's full you're going to have issues but as long as you have 16Gb free the performance will largely be the same for gaming.
I believe OP is either a child, or perhaps trolling.
Read that username and tell me that isn't an Xbox live gamertag from 2008.
Oh nice. Excuse me if I made a mistake in thinking each model performed differently. It clearly doesn't matter, I made an honest mistake. Apparantly it's a big deal here so by all means keep talking shit.
