minus-squareSneezycat@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down6·edit-25 months agoI’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.
