I'll never understand these articles... Like, sure, that's cool? Kind of like saying you can run Doom on a fridge.

I'm not going to play Doom on the fridge tho, and I'm not playing Portal RTX on my Steam Deck.

I guess for people that only have a deck for gaming this is more relevant, but still, why force ray tracing on a low power device??

Also Portal RTX changed some textures (like the portals) for some reason, I'd rather play the original instead.

Given it's primarily sold as a gaming device, I find it very odd that you frame this as the exception rather than the rule.

People whose only gaming device is a deck, not people that have a deck only for gaming :'D I'd use my computer instead for intensive graphics.

It’s all I have these days.

Well, and my switch.
