Undervolting feedback (lemmy.ca)

Has anyone tried undervolting since it's apparently widely available?

I undervolt my pc's GPU (6750xt) with great results, but I'm wondering if people are getting good results on the deck as well.

How low are most people getting at while stable? What would be a good benchmark that runs on SteamOS to judge if it's good?

On my LCD deck I ran -30 on all 3, and it worked well. I originally ran -35 but Like A Dragon cutscenes would sometimes freeze. Didn't notice any other stability issues.

I have an OLED deck now, only have it set to -10, but I'm going to slowly increase it.

This article is from back before valve added undervolt settings to the default bios (and before a CMOS reset would reset the undervolt, which makes undervolting much safer now), but it still has some really informative tests of the benefits of undervolting. Less thermal throttling improves performance in some games, and he was able to get about 16% increase in battery life.
