Just an fyi for those of you that have the 500gb model and enjoy no mans sky (lemmy.world)

Edit: Clearly the model doesnt matter. My mistake. Anyway...

So far its been running at about 38 fps for me with all settings on high. If 60 fps isnt that big of a deal to you like it isnt for me, I highly recommend it, its very pretty. I'm going to test how it runs with the new water and probably play it on ultra, just to see, depending on how things go on high.

There was some slight slow down during my playtime last night, but it was negligable. Otherwise, it still ran surprisingly well. I specified 500gb because i was under the impression each tier had different performance outputs and didnt want to speak for the other models, so my bad.

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? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.
