I would totally buy a ps5 if I could just use it as a steam machine.
The steamdeck is my most powerful system at the moment and i’m getting a stiff neck playing in handheld mode these days anyway.
So if im going to be plugged in, I might as well.
My other option is to get a gpu and use my home server that has an i7-8700.
That’s honestly, probably the way to go.
Have you looked at a dockingstation and a controller? You can connect the steamdeck to your TV!
I actually have that. I want something with a bit more power.
You can already buy motherboards with the PS5’s APU already installed onto it. Makes for a good budget gaming rig.
Can you clarify? I found talk about it online but where can I actually buy it?
AsRock BC250. You can get them mostly on eBay, but theprice has gone up over the past months
Thanks, I’ll have a look
Mostly available im 2nd hand markets like ebay, the model name is BC-250 so you need to look up where it’s sold.
Thank you
Oh? I’ll have to check if they are available in the country where I live. They were not when I checked a few months ago.
I bought the steam deck docking station and plugged that into my tv. I’m using a generic bluetooth controller to game from the couch.
That works fine. I’ve even used it in that setup to stream a game from my PC through the steam link or whatever that was called again.
That’s a cheaper option, unless you’re missing compute power or support on the steam deck.
Oh, yeah. I mean I want more computing power. I have a hub for my laptop which works great for the steamdeck.
Should someone tell him you can already play gta V on the PS5?
Now if he used it to play Baulder’s Gate 2 or Ski Free, that would be new.
