steam-deck-utilities VS Smokeless_UMAF

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.

I was going to try this but just want to be sure: https://github.com/DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF

Greetings. I have an HP Omen 15 laptop with Ryzen 7 5800H CPU which has Vega 8 iGPU. It has 512MB dedicated VRAM. I understand that it's dynamic and increases itself when needed. But this doesn't work everywhere so I need to be able to set it manually. My BIOS version doesn't have that option. Neither HP nor AMD providing something like this (at least not for my laptop). So I saw this while searching. There are videos on youtube about how it works. I wanted to know:

Even if you cant most amd soc support it even the steamdeck using smokeless https://github.com/DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF

Yesterday I discovered a BIOS tweaking tool Smokeless UMAF and played around a bit to see what it could achieve. After undervolting Pcore/Ecore/Cache of my 13900HX to -120mV/100mV/100mV I encountered AC/DC Loadline options under Core/IA VR Settings.

You need to download Smokeless UMAF from here and boot from a USB with copied files after disabling SecureBoot.

for some reason smartshift works really well on the g15ae you could try giving amd formbrowser a go https://github.com/DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF and see if that works it most likely will break most controls on the cpu and gpu youll have from the manufacturer side and youll have to find alternatives to manage it but im just a person providing the information what you do with it is none of my business nor my responsibility
