Cant wait, been waiting for this! Lets hope it lets us play Cyberpunk at 60 FPS!
I just want to say the vram and swap fix tweaks are amazing and have improved performance across all my games. I love the Witcher 3 on my steam deck and I have it modded with hd retextures and lighting mods and needed to keep it locked at 30 with low to medium settings for a smooth experience. I followed your tutorial for rdr2 and now cyberpunk and I can get a buttery smooth 60 on Witcher 3 with medium to high settings
Thank you! Cannot wait to try this out!
Great video! I've been trying to get more out of Cyberpunk for a while and then this video hit my sub box, definitely going to try out these fixes!
I'm really enjoying your channel.
Hello. Thanks for the video but how safe are these tweaks? Is there a risk to brick the steam deck? Not too well versed on this topic.
Exactly what I was looking for, I don’t currently own cyberpunk but I know it’s a hard game to run and the results were interesting to say the least, keep up the good work, this is really gonna help everyone tweak their settings optimally for other games too, 4GB of VRAM didn’t make a huge difference here but it could be a game changer for other games
Great video again, very good quality and clarity in instructions. Making my steam deck experience always better! Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Don't get my Steam Deck for now, but already learning things that i will do!)) Waiting for more games testing!!!
Can I use these steps to do a mod for any game, sekiro for example, on steam deck?
Nice video, really like all the researching process and the conclussions :). There's one thing I don't really understand tho: most people claim that VRAM parameter on the BIOS to be the minimum reserved VRAM for the GPU (1GB by default), but it can get a maximum of 8GB shared. So this would mean that for games which need, for example, 12GB RAM for the CPU, the Steam Deck may get 4GB RAM for the VRAM automatically, without touching the BIOS. Would this be the case?
If it is, I get that the tweak for reserving 4GB for VRAM and 12GB for CPU would be good for those games that consumes more than 12GB RAM for CPU (RDR2, GTA V, Cyberpunk, The Witch 3 (maybe?)), but not for those other games that consume less than 12GB RAM, right?
Perfect!
I bought my brother a 256 model. Yesterday he called me saying it was saying slow charged while plugged in with official charger. Strange. So I told him to let it completely drain and then charge over night. Now he says it won't charge at all or turn on. Defective?
Have you tried Red Dead 2 without the fix recently? A new update (stable release) dropped recently and one of the steam deck patch notes was “fixed crashes in Red Dead Redemption 2”, wondering if it actually worked?
Is this really at 4k? That's impressive if it is
I subbed this info is to good
In the breakdown when you mention both tweaks are you reffering to swap&vram to 4g or just vram and fsr 2.1?
Really great professional analysis!!
Yo yo yo, can you do some rdr2 gameplay with the vram fix + memory fix? I should be getting my steamdeck in like 2 days unless gls gonna mess around ( do some missions if possible )
These videos for more games would be sooo helpful. Keep up the good work.
I think you should have included a "battery saver" preset, as well as expanded on the power consumption of the presets you presented. I think it's important to know how far you can push the battery for every game.
could you do a vid on assetto corsa as it is not a verified game?
Interesting 🙂
Will the pagefile fix result in any meaningful thrashing of the internal SSD?
I wonder if this can't cause any harm to the deck that they'll implement these options into SteamOS itself.
Great deep dive you got there! Mind if I recommend on locking the FPS through Vsync at 40Hz rather than ingame or the Wayland lock? Got an extensive Golden 40 explanation on my channel if you're curious how and why that works – but I'm pretty sure you know that already. Amazing content, keep em coming!
I like the tricks that were used to improve performance and the very simple explanations of how to maximize performance/quality, etc near the end.
It'd be nice to have similar performance reviews in the future, maybe for Elden Ring.
i'm so thankful that i stumbled across your channel and excited to tinker a bit. could you possibly do one of these videos for god of war or horizon zero dawn to see how much we can get out of them on the deck?
Could not import the registry files because Protontricks registry doesn't see my files and folders. Protontricks was granted full user file access though.
Film Grain and Motion Blur cause problems on PCs too. It's mostly recommended to disable them, in CP they don't give any visual benefit anyway.
Thanks for this ! Would you recommand to use the ingame fps limiter or the Steam Deck one ? I read somewhere that the SD one is better ?
