steam-deck-utilities VS PowerTools

CryoUtilities for performance optimization.

First you will need Cryoutilities installed. Set it up and set the recommended settings. There is a guide on how to set VRAM to 4gb in the video for Cryoutilities, so do this as well. Next install the Starfield Potato Mode Textures Mod and use the 256 bit version for slightly better quality (the standard version is a bit better performance but I don’t like the muddiness of the textures).

Then I installed the CryoByte utility as described here: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities (also worked fine).

CryByte33 utilities app. Pay attention that you will need to apply 4G graphics memory fix from Steam Deck BIOS too.

CryoUtilities will let you keep the shader cache on the same storage device the game is installed on. I still think an SSD is a worthwhile upgrade but I thought that was worth mentioning.

Use https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities to move your game's shader caches to the drive each game is on, instead of the default 64gb ssd.

INSTALLATION: To install Cryo Utilities, make sure you have a sudo password already set otherwise it cannot perform tweaks necessary for this to work. 1st download the installer here: CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities: A utility to improve performance and help manage storage on Steam Deck. (github.com) scroll down till you see a link that says "Download this link" and right mouse click over it to open the context menu and click "save link as" and save it to your desktop.

But rarely answered with a way to preserve the battery health. The PowerTools plugin for Decky allows setting a charge limit easily. IMHO it's especially recommended if the Steam Deck is primarily used docked / on charger. Because in such cases, it's healthier to keep the battery at ~50% and disabling charging. Thankfully the Steam Deck is so amazing to allow passthrough operation on a charger.

You mentioned power options and colour, so I'd definitely recommend PowerTools and VibrantDeck - both being available using Decky Loader.

do you have Decky plugin PowerTools ?

Basically, you need to: 1. download the `pt_oc.json` https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools/blob/main/pt_oc.json file, put it to the `~/.config/powertools/` folder 2. make your modification, in this case set all the max values of each CPU core to 4000 MHz 3. go back to game mode, select reinstall powertools from decky plugins manager

I'd recommend everyone who wants to modify PowerTools to use their overclocked values actually read the wiki page. It's important to understand what you're doing, so I would rather people don't skip the details.

Notes de mise sur les notes sur github

Yup. After your comment, I hit the history, and it looks like the code that I saw which hinted that implementing a charge limit should be possible was all added as part of that exact feature with https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools/commit/f42efab0b005a1d389d9089d6d2cd1f7bfa27050
