I simply don’t understand how Sony studios extract the visuals they achieve in their games from old hardware. It feels like tech sorcery.

      Would be amazing if windows did what steam deck does in shutting off the OS during gaming mode.

      It’s a little easier when the machine is dedicated to that and only that. The OS doesn’t have all this extra crap running in the background that takes resources from the game because it was designed for that in mind.

      At best you’re looking at a 10% performance penalty, closer to the 1-3% range without known bad background software.
