#SteamPail
Sneak peak at the #SteamPail prototype

That’s right, a retro @bazzite.gg @steampowered.com #Lunchbox w. 100Hz 1280P 10.5” screen kit (for your own #miniITX or #miniPC inclusion) < $200, or fully built #AMD #Ryzen #780M APU, 32GB #DDR5 & 1TB #NVME (of 2 slots) < $500. Optional #LiION 144Wh thermos

#AMD #FSR3.1.3 is the vaccine for poor AAA game perf on low-end HW like @valvesoftware.com #Steamdeck , other handhelds or even APU based systems like the @bazzite.gg #SteamPail. Case in Point: #SilentHills2 can now reach 60-75fps @ 1920x1200 in 'Performance' mode, low settings. Yet image quality...

If you haven't figured out by now, I am big FAN of @bazzite.gg #SteamOS not only for gaming, but for (almost) ALL my PC needs. Case in point is the @blender3d.bsky.social beta (4.4.0) for #Linux that now recognizes #AMD #APU #iGPUs for HW Cycles, here rendering the 'Steam Pail' on the #SteamPail.

The ($350) guts of the #SteamPail is capable running @ninjatheory.bsky.social #Hellblade2 at 1920x1280 wo black bars at 40-60fps low/medium settings using FSR 3.1.3 'Performance' mode

Full screen makes the game much more immersive at 10.5". Can't imagine at only 7" w. huge black bars.

More games need to step up to the plate like #SilentHills2 & add #FSR3.1 wo having to hack the game with #Uniscaler or #Optiscaler . The fact I can run the #SteamPail APU at 54W to achieve 60-70fps @ 1920x1200 versus 24-30fps with #FSR2 speaks volumes to the state of machine learning.
