Really depends on the content you consume. A lot of indie games and old games could benefit from 1080p. Especially with small text. And for more power hungry games you can always choose 720p

Oh yeah. Small text is a fair point, and one that I hadn't considered.

I'm just trying to get a decent framerate for my 3D platformers and horror games and the Deck isn't exactly impressing me at 800p 😭
