If there is to be a winner from this face-off, Switch 2 clearly reaps the benefits of a bespoke approach from the developer, the ability to use DLSS and some remarkable efficiency wins. Even if we can't match the game's visual settings 100 percent, the gulf in performance, resolution and overall image quality in docked mode puts Switch 2 way ahead. In pure handheld terms, Steam Deck more than holds its own, with the OLED panel delivering a game-changing HDR experience. There's also evidence that overall CPU performance is improved, though for Switch 2 to achieve so much with so little resources in handheld mode remains highly impressive - remember, it's just a 1.1GHz CPU paired with a 561MHz GPU...

lol wut? the switch2 port wins because the switch2 has dogshit performance from the get go (and the game seemingly crashes all the time) wins this "face-off"?

Why does the Author posts PS5 stats when it comes down to Switch 2 vs Steam Deck?

Something about this rubs me the wrong way....

I might be in the minority but I also don't care how it performs in docked mode.. Its a handheld.

Yeah I would also assume that the main mode of operation would be handheld mode.
