MODERATORS
These are all solid assumptions and I thank you for providing the data to try and manage expectations here.
However, I do think you're making the case for the current state of things as opposed to what AMD is apparently trying to achieve by supporting older hardware with FSR 4.
That said, it's probably going to be somewhere in the middle, with RDNA 4 (which Steam Deck APU is not) getting the full potential that FSR 4 can provide, and RDNA 2 (which Steam Deck APU is) seeing at least some of it. I wonder if the latter is going to be of any benefit compared to what Steam Deck users have now, especially in terms of the power draw, like you mentioned.
