I know Intel is dipping its toe into the GPU market, but let’s be real, AMD and nVidia are the only options and have been for the last 20+ years. The manufacturers/assemblers of the complete graphics cards are varied and widespread, but the core tech comes from two companies only.

Why is this the case? Or am I mistaken and am just brainwashed by marketing, and there are in fact other viable options for GPUs?

Cheers!

    maybe i wasn’t clear, but i tried 720p on both the desktop and deck, and the nvidia desktop was still choppy

      Must have a very weak cpu or some other bottleneck then, as a RTX 2080 is in a whole different league to the GPU in the Steam deck’s APU - like in the 5x better range.

      Linux also doesn’t help from all I’ve seen, with terrible drivers for Nvidia gpus.

        it is probably the linux nvidia driver, because, as i mentioned before, it runs smoothly on windows on the same machine on higher settings
