If I didn’t already have one that 1tb one looks great…I wonder if the oled display would work on mine though
Edit: sadly no, the screen won’t work

Wait, does that mean we can start looking at HDR displays for regular Linux desktops in a near future?
Yes, Valve started working on that about a year ago or so. I think it’s already available in the current Steam Deck software for external monitors. Valve’s involvement has been great for Linux.
Sheesh~ This kind of makes me dream of seeing a future Steam Deck (Or other Valve console) powerful enough to handle most VR games if they’re going to keep on giving the Linux ecosystem a push for whatever features are important to them.

I don’t think deckard is confirmed to be anything yet is it? All just theorising afaik

All I’m saying is when it comes to valve I think the best thing is just to sit right and see, they might not even release it
I have the original 512. I’m going to have that custom shell. I am a sucker for consumption… I must consume…
Cool! Though I’m wondering that they didn’t update the APU from Zen2+RDNA2 to Zen4-RDNA3.
They have said they want to keep a fairly long-term performance target for game devs optimizing for the device. Consoles do the same thing. Another part of that is improving margins over time.
Component cost, engineering cost, and it would change the performance target which could cause some devs to leave the old one behind
None of the currently available RDNA3 APUs are good within their 5-15W target. They could custom design a smaller one but that would increase costs a lot and the perf benefits aren’t that big when still limited by LPDDR5
Cool, can we get a replacement part# for the screen, and can it be swapped into the original steam decks?
Apparently the new OLED screen will be available through iFixit
Unfortunately Gamers Nexus has stated that new OLED screen will not be compatible with the old models. Perhaps there could be a third party solution though.
Yep. They’ve said that basically no internal components are cross compatible between original and OLED steam decks. Everything’s been redesigned internally
They already said that’s a no unfortunately
I would be surprised if this would be possible. It seems that the revision is quite substantial.
Valve employees have confirmed that the OLED display is incompatible with the LCD Deck’s Mobo. So you can’t upgrade just the screen.
