Digital Foundry released a video today comparing the current top of the line PC handhelds to each other and even the Steam Deck and PS5! They used current gen only games or games where the PC version is much ahead of the previous console generations versions in lower settings such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Forbidden West.
I am really impressed with how the current PC handhelds are slightly better than Xbox Series S in graphical settings for some games and can run games at PS5 performance mode graphics level but with lower resolution and half the framerate. The performance gap is even smaller when using PS5 quality mode and equivalent on PC handhelds.
A Plague Tale Requiem and Horizon Forbidden West look great on them.
I am disappointed they didn't cover frame generation tech though just to show people what to expect from FSR 3.0, AMD Fluid Motion Frames and Lossless Scaling Frame generation technologies even if they game wasn't running at 60fps. Me and other PC handheld users have gotten good results despite not playing at the recommended base 60 fps recommended for it by AMD.
Also in other news recent rumors are pointing to the Nintendo Switch being weaker than the Steam Deck which is disappointing. I thought it would be at least on par. Hopefully it is only slightly weaker.
