Who’s tried it so far? How far were you able to go and stay stable? Power consumption in game pre vs post uv? Would love to see if we can get even more efficiency gains on top of the gains that are inherent to the new silicon.
My LE is still in “packaged items” status. Can’t wait to do some testing of my own, and want to see what other people’s experience has been thus far.
Edit: added the second paragraph.
OLED owner here, I just tried -50 on all 3, tested for only for 1min on one GPU heavy game running through Proton, so no stability guarantees. data are pure estimations from the in game overlay.
What I observed: Average GPU power consumption is a bit lower, around 1w.
There seems to be a 21w chip TDP limitation. With this particular game the total power stay the same.
More power is allocated to the CPU, the clock boosts higher, around 5 more fps (~44 to ~49)
512gb OLED owner here. I have only had it for 3 days. I undervolted yesterday and so far no issues. I am at -50mv x3. I’ve only been playing Resident Evil 2 and so far no crashes or issues. I will have to do some more in-depth controlled testing. But so far, with the undervolt the GPU stays pretty much sticks at 1600 mhz boost clock rarely ever dipping whereas previously it would be around 1500+ and fluctuate. The CPU clocks are about 100mhz higher. In my test it would fluctuate from 1700-2000mhz and after it would be more stable at 1800-2100mhz but stick at the 1900-2000 range more without as much fluctuation. Surprisingly the temps were a bit higher, about 2C (64Cvs 66C), but not sure if it is because of the higher clocks or due to me not letting the deck heat soak for longer for each test. Again all of these are not very scientific but I will do more controlled tests later.
Nice to know, keep us updated :p
Running -20mv, -30mv, -30mv respectively.
So far stable after 10+ hours across heavy/light games, although the boot up process is a bit slower and only crashing when I exit HZD.
No OC.Very nice I was able to run -30 -20 -30 for a while but was getting random game crashes 30-60 min into gaming sessions on Cold Steel 3 and Little nightmares.
I think The Phawx had managed an all -50 offset on the oled that lucky bastard
He hasnt really stress tested it. Just set it once. Difference between beeing stable for a couple benchmarks and beeing stable over its lifetime. There is a reason overclocks on pc arent considered stable until they pass 24h+ stress test on each individual overclocked component. (Same applies to undervolting)
My oled is in transit, first time steam deck user.
Do we need to unlock the bios to enable the options to change the voltage? Does any one have a guide for the oled model - thanksI understand undervolting is now available as a default option in 3.5.1 :-)
