90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.
The local transfer compresses it with the same format the CDN would use, so if the local PC turns off, it just continues via Valve’s servers. The downside is that the compression is quite aggressive. My PC with a 5950X can only go like 300Mbps on local transfer, so the CDN ends up being faster for me since I have gigabit internet and the Deck can get 600 Mbps even over WiFi.
For people with slow Internet speeds, it’s obviously a great feature though.

It tries to download locally but it’s faster to download it from steam CDN 🫣
