20x is a huge exaggeration. It’s more like 5x in hypothetical flops.

For example, in Elden Ring an optimized 800p with mixed low to medium settings will hit 45 FPS.

On a 5700XT you’re looking at the high 90fps range for 1080p medium settings.

So it’s really in all practical purposes 2-3 times better and your steam deck has a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz anyway. On a screen that size you’ll barely see the difference between medium and ultra settings.

Something notable is that because of how math maths, 45FPS is a LOT better looking than 30FPS.

Finally, I’ll point out that anyone with hardware this old still has the option of using normal sunshine. Or you can just get a 6000 series card, the difference in cost between a 6600XT and a 5700XT is less than $50.

Running Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on the deck gets around 30-45 fps with some lag spikes on low settings. Streaming from my 5700xt I can get 90fps ultra. It's massively better to stream from even this old GPU than to play locally.

I agree with you, but that’s not 20x.
