It has come to my attention that Red Dead Redemption has a bug where if you change the Frame Buffer size from 1GB to 4GB it will not auto allocate past 4GB. All other games to my knowledge at the moment work fine and can actually get an increase in performance. Regarding A1 vs A2 SD cards, I am going based on US pricing, but some A2 cards are as cheap as A1 cards, so why not get the faster card. Doesn't mean you have to, I would just shop around and see what best suits you. A1 cards are still great and perform very well.
i read somewhere that the steam deck sd card reading is capped at 100mbs so i mean if the price is the same as an a1 why not buy an a2 right but for people on a budget woulnt it be better to buy an a1?
@@Dravpin I have a video coming up about this, but another thing to keep in mind is the write speeds when installing games. The A1 cards that I have take a while to install games, the A2 card I just got installs them significantly faster. But yes keep your budget in mind and if an A1 card makes more sense, by all means get an A1.
Will there be any issues when playing red dead redemption in changing the frame buffer size from 1 to 4? or it is still ok if I does not auto allocate past to 4gb? thanks
Bro, I am absolutely loving this presentation. It's like a realistic conversation and you don't include a million stupid little jokes like other people are doing well spoken and very clear audio. You earned an immediate subscriber out of me and I'm not even getting a steam deck for a while.
I'm in my 40's and the only reason I own a Nintendo Switch is to legally play first party Zelda and Mario games. To me, the Steam Deck is a way better value for the money as compared to the Switch.
You can emulate without it being piracy. Backup the ROMs yourself. Both legally and morally fine 👌 But you do you, I'm sure you've heard this before. 🙂👍
thank you, i just got my steam deck a little over a week ago and had no idea i should've changed the frame buffer size. i was also surprised to see you had 400 subs because the quality of the video was great. subbed!
The frame rate limit I had already set because I like to have as much frame rate as possible and the rest is of no use to me but the change of ram in the BIOS changed everything for me I didn't understand why the games seemed to lag like that Small details but big change in the end, thanks for that I like my steam deck more and more in addition to my Switch
Very helpful tips. I am truly loving my Steam Deck OLED and the advice about increasing the framebuffer to 4gb actually did seem to help some of my games. This device blows me away with what it is capable of.
@High TIMES I love it, it has been a breath of fresh air. The battery life can be quite poor depending on what time of game you play so I would suggest buying a power bank when you can (if you plan to use it on the go) but obviously you can play with it plugged in for however long you like. Overall I have been very impressed. I've played and completed God of War, Uncharted and Days Gone, to name a few and they all look and run brilliant on the deck. I've been very happy with my purchase and I still use it on a regular basis.
This is a very impressive explanation/ tutorial on the deck settings much thanks and please do more setting videos on plugins like the contrast shaders that give the pseudo switch OLED look or a Proton guide.
Best home setup ever is with a dock that let you attach a portable hard drive, I got 2t or the portable 1t on the sd card and upgraded the internal storage from 64gb to 512 my emulations alone got well over a 1000 games. It awesome watching my friends mouth wide open looking at damn near a endless collection of games that you can play on any controller.
One that is kind of similar to emulation in that it is for the steam deck but doesn't come with it, people should try to install decky for the steam deck which is just steam deck homebrew and it allows users to install extensions and stuff, really cool and one of the most popular extensions lets users change the vibrancy of their deck since the steam deck's display sometimes seems a bit dull edit: just saw that you seem to also already use it, surprised it isn't on the list
It's a great extension, I 100% agree, wasn't on the list as its something you should install after playing with the Steamdeck first. I am going to make another video for it specifically but I appreciate you suggesting it!
@@Shahrukh_Ali yes! There's a plug in all about animations, boot up and suspending. I forget what it's called but animation is in the name. You can download straight from the plug in and from what I saw its ever growing and basically has the same ones I've found on the reddit page for the subject.
battery calibration is actually obsolete, it was only useful back in the olden days with nickel batteries. Li-Po (Lithium Polymer) batteries are very sensitive with charging cycles and they have an IC (integrated circuit) that controls the battery and is factory calibrated to its respective device. For the best battery performance it is recommended to keep it between 25-85%.
There were reports of the battery health not being properly reported. Mine was reporting at 83% health after a weeks worth of use. Which is why I include this battery calibration step as it is also recommended to do by iFixit when you change the battery itself.
I would recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, especially for desktop mode. I also have a Nexdock 360 which has a keyboard and trackpad built in. This way I can use it similar to a laptop. I do this since I have World of Warcraft installed and running on it (with SteamOS and GE Proton).
@@Shahrukh_Ali yes. I have used mine in desktop mode for Steam games that aren’t supported fully. It’s basically the only PC gaming machine I’m using now.
Great tips! I’ve just ordered my Steam Deck and have been buffeting on Steam Deck videos lately; these tips will definitely help me get running when it arrives! +subbed! 😄
Just got my steam deck and appreciate the tips. I also like the production value and delivery in your video! I look forward to watching more of your content.
I ordered mine last tuesday, it was shipped by wedneday and at my house by Friday. Absolutely insane. I saw the 1-2 week thing but it was at my house within 4 days
Steam deck is an amazing console. I love to play games while the TV is on in the background. I used to play the switch a ton but after I got the deck....I haven't played on my switch since. If you are on the edge and don't know if you should buy it.... Do it. You can play so many games. You won't regret it
Just a quick comment about the micro sd card that can be used in the steam deck. Yes the A2 card will be fast, but A1 cards also work just fine. I have one in my Steam Deck and it loads almost as fast as the built in ssd.
Sammmee. I love to tinker so thought I would spend the first 100 hours modding, emulating and getting other non steam games on there. But tbh I've been so addicted to just playing games on it I haven't even done any of that yet. Haven't touched my desktop in a month ☠️

The crave powerbank will charge your steam deck from 0 to 100 six times before it die out, it's expensive at 249 but it got a 50000mah battery that will basically let you play all day
Stop. I'm gonna give you a thumbs up. Here's why.

I'm at work right now but mine was just delivered to my house and it's killing me!!! The only reason I got one was to play the higher alphas in 7 days to die! But I'm definitely going to use some of not most of these tips! Thanks so much man!!!
Great video! Clean and direct to the informations was really helpful! Never had the chance to own a gaming device but i got my steam deck! I dont know stuff like this so this helps me to understand more!! Thank youu :)
I wouldn't recommend setting frame buffer size to 4gb unless you know what you need and want. The main reason is that it might affect how steam deck verified games run. For example Devil May Cry 5 crashes from time to time with 4gb, because the memory runs out and it doesn't have time to adjust. I would recommend keeping it at 1gb or at most 2gb and increase it if you have a specific game that requires it.
Charging to 100%, draining to 0% and charging again does NOTHING other than ruining the battery... it's a tip that was correct and made sense like 15-20 years ago with old battery tech, now just try keeping it between 20 and 80 percent...
Well not necessarily. Some people reported (myself included) the battery health was not being reported correctly. This fixes that. Not only that but the battery replacement that iFixit sells, which is an official battery, also recommends doing the same thing I said.
I really like the way you made this video. Clean, useful, easy to watch. And the audio? Spotless. Audio is the biggest problem among youtubers by my opinion. Keep going man :)
this is nice I have a nreal air cant wait to get a steam deck to match. would love to have 3 screens and use it as a all in one linux machine but that is not there yet
Great tips. Just bought a Steam Deck and those are very useful. I'm not happy with the battery formatting necessity though. I thought those3 times are long gone....
@@Shahrukh_Ali is a BIOS tip like that applicable to any PC or just APU? I have a laptop with a 3080ti and feel like it’s not hitting its peak performance
I don't recommend putting it to 4gb. My steam decks fan was CHUGGING playing a low demand game and it was killing the battery so quickly and overheating. No need to kill your deck
This is one of the ONLY videos that has GENUINELY USEFUL ADVICE instead of the same common sense non-tips. Thank you!!! ALSO TIP NO.11 GET THE STEAM LINK APP FOR YOUR TV. NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS! YOU CAN STREAM TO YOUR TV WITHOUT A DOCK REALLY WELL AND IT'S WONDERFUL Although, come on dude, the battery life isnt nearly as bad as everyone is making out. Yes if you play modern AAA games at 60fps/uncapped max graphics you're going to drain a battery in an hour that is common sense. Tuning or playing older games ive easily got 3-6 and on emulated and ultra-indie 6-8 hours.
I’ll def have to look at steamlink. Regarding the battery, yea it’s something that can run those games, expecting more battery than an hour is unreasonable, but it’s something I would like. With some tuning it’s getting there.
Great video! Just wandering- would I be better off just getting the Steam Deck with 64GB storage and then just getting a large-storage Micro-SD card? Would it be right to say that it wouldn't be that much slower than having 512GB on-board storage but would be much cheaper?
Ordered the 256gb version last night. I'm going to be playing ff 11 online and 14 on it. I plan to get tons of indy farming games like coral Island and kynseed.
SteamOS changes Frame Buffer Dynamically so you don't need to change it. And frequency requirements will change from game to game don't just lock it at 1100Mhz for every game...
The dynamic change for the frame buffer works fine but causes some stutter or lag when there isn’t enough already allocated, changing it to allocate 4GB from the get-go alleviates that. Also setting a locked frequency is if you’re trying to get the most out of the battery. If you don’t care for battery life, you don’t change that.
Amazing editing quality on such a small channel. Def sub. Great work and look forward to seeing you grow. Thanks for the SD tips. Just ordered mine late last week.

It does , it’s what I have rn but the A2’s are almost the same price. May as well get the faster one.
@@Shahrukh_Ali you can get a 512gb A1 card in the uk for £40, no point paying for A2 as the read speed maxes at 100mbps anyway.
Depends on region, in the US its like 10-$20 more to get an A2 card. May aswell get a faster card as it can maintain those higher speeds for longer
@@Shahrukh_Ali In Canada, the A2 cards are almost double the cost of A1. So might as well just go with the A1 that is almost just as fast.

There are a small amount of games that are affected but most games do benefit from it. If it does cause an issue it’s easy to revert back.

ALSO TIP NO.11 GET THE STEAM LINK APP FOR YOUR TV. NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS! YOU CAN STREAM TO YOUR TV WITHOUT A DOCK REALLY WELL AND IT'S WONDERFUL
Although, come on dude, the battery life isnt nearly as bad as everyone is making out. Yes if you play modern AAA games at 60fps/uncapped max graphics you're going to drain a battery in an hour that is common sense. Tuning or playing older games ive easily got 3-6 and on emulated and ultra-indie 6-8 hours.
I’ll def have to look at steamlink.
Regarding the battery, yea it’s something that can run those games, expecting more battery than an hour is unreasonable, but it’s something I would like. With some tuning it’s getting there.
super sweet video! question: what projector do you have? that was an awesome setup!
Its one from Apeman but they stopped selling it for whatever reason on amazon
Subbed. What a great informative presentation. You will go far with this channel.
Thanks!
Hi.
Great review / tips. I'm in the market for a steam but also a projector. Which projector were you using and do you like it?
Its one from a company called Apeman, unfortunately it is discontinued
They may ship fast but sadly they don't deliver to my country
Thanks for your information. This is really helpful for me when I get my steam deck.
Nice. Enjoy it.
Great video! Just wandering- would I be better off just getting the Steam Deck with 64GB storage and then just getting a large-storage Micro-SD card? Would it be right to say that it wouldn't be that much slower than having 512GB on-board storage but would be much cheaper?
You can totally do that and even upgrade the internal storage now that 1tb SSD’s are available readily for the steam deck from Sabrent.
Great video. Production quality is awesome.
Really appreciate that!
Steam Deck uses UHS-I microsd format, which means it can only utilize around 100mb/s speed
It does, but depending on where you live, the price between A1 and A2 is quite similar. May as well get the faster one
Ordered the 256gb version last night. I'm going to be playing ff 11 online and 14 on it. I plan to get tons of indy farming games like coral Island and kynseed.
Nice enjoy it!
What wallpapers are those behind you?
SteamOS changes Frame Buffer Dynamically so you don't need to change it. And frequency requirements will change from game to game don't just lock it at 1100Mhz for every game...
The dynamic change for the frame buffer works fine but causes some stutter or lag when there isn’t enough already allocated, changing it to allocate 4GB from the get-go alleviates that. Also setting a locked frequency is if you’re trying to get the most out of the battery. If you don’t care for battery life, you don’t change that.
incredible production quality, your channel should be bigger haha
I appreciate that! Im working towards it. Soon enough Inshallah
Amazing editing quality on such a small channel. Def sub. Great work and look forward to seeing you grow. Thanks for the SD tips.
Just ordered mine late last week.
Much appreciated!
