Modded RTX 4090 Handheld Gaming Console: A Gaming Powerhouse with Battery Life Limitations
A custom-built handheld gaming PC, powered by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and featuring a 12.5-inch 4K display, has been making waves in the gaming community. The existence of this strange creation, reported by PCGamesN, has sparked intrigue, despite its limitations.
The handheld, which resembles a transformed modded version of a gaming laptop, such as the Steam Deck, boasts an impressive spec sheet. It includes an Intel Core i9 14900HX CPU, 64GB of RAM, a 2TB NVMe SSD, and a 50Wh battery. However, the high power requirements of the RTX 4090 and the 4K display have resulted in a handheld that is not practical for traveling or extended gaming sessions due to its battery life limitations.
On battery mode, the handheld is not suitable for gaming. For most people, a gaming laptop would be a better option. However, for a select and affluent group of gamers, the modded handheld offers significantly more power compared to the Steam Deck, making it an attractive alternative, especially for sofa-based gaming.
Footage of gaming on the modded handheld can be found on bilibili.com, with games such as Horizon: Forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077 and God of War looking impressive on the device's 4K display. Despite the handheld's comically large size, resembling a Steam Deck or a Nintendo Switch 2 for a small child, the RTX 4090-powered handheld gaming PC concept has captured the imagination of many.
However, the high price and compromises involved in the handheld would likely only appeal to a niche market. For the majority, the limitations in battery life and portability make it an impractical choice. Nonetheless, the modded RTX 4090 handheld gaming console remains a fascinating example of what can be achieved with DIY ingenuity and a passion for gaming.
