Can the Steam Deck run games in 1080p?
Short answer: Yes, but with an *asterisk*. While it CAN run games in 1080p when connected to an external display, the native resolution is 1280x800. So, expect some games to run smoothly at 1080p, while others might need adjustments to keep a steady frame rate.

From first-hand experience, yes, the Steam Deck can do 1080p on an external monitor, and it's quite impressive! Just played Doom Eternal on it, and it was smooth with some settings adjustments. Perfect for those who want their Steam library on the go and on the big screen.
Oh, absolutely! The Steam Deck is a little powerhouse that can indeed push out 1080p, although keep in mind it's on its native screen you're looking at 720p. But, if you dock it or connect it to an external display, 1080p gaming is totally on the table. Just be mindful that performance may vary depending on the game's demands – the more graphically intense, the harder the push.
Honestly, thinking the Steam Deck can handle intense games at 1080p without breaking a sweat is a bit optimistic. It's a handheld, not a high-end gaming rig. Keep expectations realistic for the best experience.
