Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.

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.
You can't transfer games from the deck, unfortunately.
At least not last time I tried.
According to the documentation, you should be able to https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/46BD-6BA8-B012-CE43. Unfortunately, I don't have big enough games to test, and I think it detects that my internet bandwith is higher than the connection to the Deck
Looks like it only works from desktop mode
But is it "(A Steam Deck), or (a PC running in Steam desktop mode)" or is it "(A Steam Deck, or a PC) (running in Steam desktop mode)"? In any case both cases include the Steam Deck as a capable device, it would only be a matter of changing to desktop mode
Is it really? That's pretty shocking, is your gaming device is hardlined while the Deck is on WiFi or something? Are you on 2.4 or 5ghz, on the Deck?
My router is a bit old and its 5GHz performance seems to be rather lacking. I still think the main problem is I'm not testing with a big game. I'll try and post later something.
This seems to be implemented in the Steam Deck client update from November 16th
Haven’t tried it myself though.
It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.
It tries to download locally but it’s faster to download it from steam CDN 🫣
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.
