After the PS3, it will be two years in a couple of months since I switched to PC. I knew what I was doing: I could play a lot of games on my Steam Deck, but not the exclusives without emulation. I still think the same: playing on PC is better because we have more options, and among them is... Play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4 frames per secondWhy would anyone want to play like that?
The debate is open. Considering that MongoTV He's posting it on YouTube, It cannot be ruled out that he is doing something on purpose. It's a shame it looks this bad. The computer shouldn't perform so poorly, as it's an Asus ROG Strix with an 8th-generation Intel i5, a GeForce 1050TI 4GB, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. If it were recording with OBS or any other tool, the performance would be even worse, so it's recording the screen directly with a camera.
Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4 FPS. Gamer hell exists.
Since he's recording with an external camera, several users have noticed that the PC fan is running at full speed, which, considering the computer's specifications, means something is wrong. He might have a hardware problem.
The user has posted over 200 videos of their experience. Because it's so slow, it's taken a while. It took more than 12 hours to complete the first missions.Just watching the video is maddening, so playing it must be brutal.
And the PC can handle anything
This could all be a setup to go viral and make money. But we don't want to stop there; we want to go further and discuss the advantages of PCs over consoles.
When I've talked about the Steam Machine and some of its positive points, I have gone so far as to claim:
«In the future, when graphics become even more demanding, you can even drop down to 720p. Crazy? Not at all. It's the resolution of the PS3, where titles like God of War 3 are available. It might look a bit pixelated, but it's an option offered by PCs.«.
The PC versions of games allow for many configurable parameters. If they don't include a specific hardware limitation, the game will install and attempt to run, and we can play many titles at much higher frame rates than the 4 FPS mentioned in this article. In fact, many people were playing Borderlands 4 on the Steam Deck at just over 20 FPS.
With a PC you can do anything, even tweak the settings to show terrible performance and go viral.
