2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

Hands up if you/someone you know purchased a Steam Deck or other computer handheld, instead of upgrading their GPU ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ

To be honest I stopped following PC hardware altogether because things were so stagnant outside of Intel's alder lake and the new x86 P/E cores. GPUs that would give me a noticeable performance uplift from my 1060 aren't really at appealing prices outside the US either IMO

From 2020 I planned on building a new gaming PC. Bought an ITX case and followed hardware releases closely... And then got disillusioned with it all.

Picked up a Steam Deck in August of 2022 and couldn't be happier with it. The ITX case is collecting dust.

I game exclusively on my Steam deck these days.

I absolutely love it. I dock it and use the desktop as my standard pc too. It does everything I need it to do.

Same here! I was worried I wouldn't use it (I haven't been gaming on PC much) but I actually game on it much more than on PC
