Hi everyone, I have found turning down the shadow values in the ini file gives you much better performance on the deck and improves the battery life a bit too.
Here are my settings:
Shadow cascade split distance
0= 4.0
1= 10
2= 25
3=300
Terrain shadow map =8
Shadow map count
4096=0
2048=0
1024=4
512=4
256=2
128=1
Directional light =8
Focus shadow res=8
Ini files can be found in documents/my games. Change the low ini file. If you can't find it there, cryoutillities may have moved it so instead open up steam in desktop, right click game, manage and browse local files and open the low ini file there.
Now getting 26fps- 30 fps in the busy part of Atlantas so big improvement and alot smoother too. I'm also running cryoutillites.
Hope this helps 👍
That makes a lot of sense, I might what to try it out.
@@Diy_Papi Awesome! Should help out with lower end PCs too in theory. Not tried it yet on my PC as away on hols so been messing around with the steam deck and playing around with the ini files to see what can be achieved. Might possibly be able to refine those settings further but that's as far as I have got for now.
brother, i sold out and got an ally, only because I was able to sell muh deck for a great price. BUT my brothers still have their decks so i still watch your vids so i can keep them updated with the info you provide. thanks again for doing what you do brother. WHERE them push ups at, if you dont film them they didnt happen lol
Ally is dope, to be honest my only issues is that it’s not that great with Steam link and the way it sits in your hand isn’t the most comfortable.
Man I stopped doing that challenge at 685, I owe about 1200 pull ups lol.
Maybe I’ll start it up again when I hit 2k subs but with pull ups and maybe something else that are kinda hard, Maybe assault bike calories?
Let me know if you have any ideas!
You should try the Steam Deck Essentials mod for Steam Deck, it improves average FPS and 1% lows, along with having optimizations for the SD card.
I bet especially when compared with this you'll get a locked 30fps in most situations
I’m gonna have to look into that
Playing starfield on a steamdeck is like putting a v8 engine on a bicycle. Starfield being the bicycle
Sorry I’m confused, maybe more like hauling a trailer with a Toyota Prius
What do you think the sweet spot is ? You’re trying a super demanding game . Something like red dead where you can run it at 40 fps with lower settings or 30-35ish with medium settings. A 10-15% like you show could bring that to the “golden 40” people are talking about with possibly not much degradation to the system possibly
I’m not sure why but when I’m on a handheld I don’t mind 30fps
When I’m on a larger screen I totally become a snob lol
I think the type of game matter also, the faster the pace, the faster the frames needed to enjoy.
I Guest i will just buy Powerful Comp and just stream it to chiaki 😊
I was about to try that out next, but with a 10year old pc for the lol’s
have you considered making acetone chamber to smooth out the ridges in your prints?
No I haven’t, I’m aware of it, i really don’t mind the 3d printed texture.
It would only eat up more time and drive cost up.
I also tried the overclock, but it's definitely not worth it for me.
If your deck can’t Handel the temps don’t, not worth it.
Wait, I though smokeless does not work anymore? How did you overclock your steam deck?
It works great bro, i suggest you try it out
@Diy_Papi How can I do it. I've already tried doing it using the tutorial cryoutilities has out, and it did not work. Can you please tell me what video did you follow?
Cryo, what didn’t work about it
When I changed my tdp, it would not show the difference on power tools. Then I checked online and someone on reddit said that smokeless does not work if your steam deck software is up to date.@@Diy_Papi
Mine is up-to-date and it works just fine
One thing I do know, power tools can be a little weird.
I had to change it to performance and then make sure the TDP is set to the max
if that doesn’t work set the TDP to the exact wattage you said it on in smokeless
I had the same exact problem you did, a little poking around. I was able to resolve it, but just changing those power tool settings.
How the hell are your temperatures so low at 26 watts?
I get 80+ in this game on stock
Mark 7 Backplate I created

OLED can’t OC

@Diy_Papi u call urself diy papi but you dont even know that shit doesn't even work dude. what are you fresh outta high-school think u can make money selling ur shit 400 dollar 3d printer designs 💀💀💀
exelente video
Thanks 🙏🏻
no undervolt, no ram oc, no cryoutilitis. In my case I have 6400 ram with -30/-10/-35/-10 uv with 18tdp 1800gpu 3800cpu jsaux vent backplate with thermal paste changed
Push that thing to 20tdp, sounds like in can Handel it
why not bump the gpu more thats the bottleneck
Pretty much capped on the GPU, regardless of the TDP increase. (2100)
Surprisingly enough I noticed by dropping the overclock on the CPU. I was able to get a slightly better frames.
Just get a console for these games 😅
That’s kinda what a Steam Deck is, just a bit more finicky.
@@Diy_Papi Do you think the steam deck or the ROG ally is the best? I want to get one because I love handheld gaming. But I can’t imagine playing current gen AAA games on them 🤣
I think the Lenovo handheld might be the best.
Not everyone can drop $400 on a new console plus more expensive games.
I’m off the mind of, if it’s a high enough priority you’ll find a way.
It’s not a priority for myself, plus you can’t easily bring a console from the living room to the bedroom so easily. (Obviously their are trade offs)
Not 30FPS 100% = Unplayable.
I guess you had an easy life
You can hit 30fps with fsr2 but it looks worse
Real gamers will play at less then 30fps
@@irosso125 Clearly not, but i consider Unstable Framerate unplayable.
@@Diy_Papi Clearly not, its even dangerous for eyesight and brain, its a video game, not a movie.
