Is the 64gb model + 512GB SD card enough for casual gaming? (lemmy.ml)

I'm eyeing on getting a 64gb base model since thats the only one available in my nearest store. Valve doesnt sell decks in my country so scalpers are the only way.

64gb is the most affordable option for me. I plan to get a 512gb sd card and play some casual cod zombies, deep rock galactic, fallout 76 etc.

Is it enough or will the SD card bottleneck it? There's no 256gb or 512gb model unless I take the risk of getting scammed.

I did this, and I have never had any issues. I have mainly been playing BG3 to be honest, but it runs great on the 64gb for me.

    I watched some youtube video where he used that set up but the cache and stuff was filling up the internal drive.

    Possibly it is filling up the drive. Honestly, I have not checked my settings or storage in a long time.

    I have been playing like this since BG3 came out. I also occasionally play other games on the deck. So far, no issues. If I run into a problem, I'll have to see about clearing space then.
