MODERATORS
Yeah, "AAA games on high / beautiful graphics settings" isn't really the Deck's forte. FSR upscaling covers up a lot of the worst of docked ugliness, but it has its limits.
If visual fidelity is a huge deal for someone, and they are going to play docked 90%+ of the time, then they'd probably have been better served by a gaming laptop instead of a Steam Deck. And if one picked up the Deck because it was the best overall value for what they could afford, then they should probably be happy with the capabilities it has, and adjust their expectations a bit.
What if you just stream from a gaming pc to the deck? Is that a decent option?
If you have good local internet, absolutely. I don't have a separate pc to stream from personally, but I've heard nothing but good things. I'm sure you can find some guides online to get the details.
I do a lot of streaming AAA games from my gaming pc to my deck and it's excellent.
