  • I’m running this on a 7900 XTX with 32GB RAM. No issues so far. According to their instructions, Nvidia is a little bit more involved but it should perform the same on consumer or pro GPUs.

    I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.

    Docker has pretty much no overhead, so you only need enough RAM to run the games/sessions you want to run in addition to your regular desktop.



  • They don’t do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.

    Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.

    For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.

    Both of them support connection via Moonlight.



  • I would prefer a Path Tracing downgrade to baked lighting and reflection probes.

    The game runs at half the frame rate of Eternal while barely looking better when dashing through demons at high speed.

    Doom Eternal runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck while Dark Ages is not even close to running well.

    I really hate the modern triple A laziness of adding path tracing to every game, not providing any fallbacks and slapping in some DLSS and FSR so you can’t see the nice reflections and shadows anyway. It’s all a blurry and noisy mess that runs badly.
