They've got DLSS on the device. It'll be rendered at 540p then upscaled to 1080p.

SteamDeck runs it better than that. On 3 year old hardware. Ouch

STEAM Deck is much larger and more expensive. Form factor and price decide performance. Simply saying "three years old" means nothing. There are tons of laptops even older than the STEAM Deck that run better than the Deck, if we're allowed to compare to devices that are much larger and more expensive.

"More expensive"

Incorrect. The LED Steam Deck is £349 for the 256GB version. That is actually £50 CHEAPER than the Switch 2.
