Comment on Steam Deck OLED Undervolt Efficiency and Performance Scaling
thubn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years ago- The stable undervolt for my deck (20/50/50) has roughly the same performance at 9W as the default 0/0/0 at 10W.
- an easy 10/10/10 undervolt can give you 2% more performance
- the 20/50/50 undervolt nets a 4% performance increase
- firestrike on steam deck doesnt scale well with more than 10W APU power
- if you want to undervolt your steam deck you should always check if its stable and increases the performance

Thanks for doing the work!
When you put the results like that, with 2 to maybe 4% gains, I’m definitely going to pass on undervolting my deck. Back when I had a C2D Macbook - yeah you had to undervolt that sucker to make it usable. But I will happily leave a 4% boost on the table so that I never have to consider whether a crash came from the undervolt.
