4k60fps gaming, but limiting basically everything by default to only 1080p is basically false advertising.
1080p low with FSR4 haha
Honestly listing only resolution and framerate is dumb because there's just a cornucopia of information that's omitted. If you want to give people an idea of performance, just throw up some specs for a handful of the most popular games or don't advertise anything.
I don't want one of these, because I have a computer that's far better, but also it depends on what you play. 99% of what I play would probably be fine even at 4k60fps. Sure, if you want to play a AAA game from the past 5, maybe 10, years, it's not going to happen. Most indies probably will, especially 2D or light 3D ones.
Surely a claim like that should mean that's the performance of the majority of popular games on the device?
"10 most sold games last year"
Of course it's necessarily cherry picked but it doesn't mean it cannot be representative
Don't forget Stardew Valley and Factorio
I realize editorializing titles is frowned upon but if you could please just remove the clickbait from your title, that'd be So Sick.
I'm disappointed in Valve making the same mistake as Sony did.
WTF? Those specs aren't even good enough for QHD for any semi demanding game!
Yeah, I do 4k gaming and have a beast of a rig, and even then I barely get it up there. Cyberpunk still struggles years later.
I hear u with cyberpunk.
What a way to shoot yourself in the foot in the first place....
