The Steam Deck OLED is my favorite gaming device of all time.
I want one so bad
@@LongWalker730get the asus rog ally
@@LongWalker730 Save up for it homie, it was worth it :)
Switch was my goat for a long time, now it’s a non-OLED steam deck. I’m sure if I had the OLED it would be my new favorite gaming device of all time, but I’m having trouble justifying the upgrade and am pretty damn smitten with my regular deck
@@prisonbread imo the upgrade is only worth it if you can sell your existing LCD to cover the costs. Otherwise I definitely don't recommend upgrading just to upgrade, especially since the performance increase was really small.
Best settings, and i've seen many today. Congrats. New suscriber
Thanks for the sub!
Just subscribe love the settings
Well done video and commentary I subscribed thanks
This + Cryoutilities 2.0 🤝 solid settings vid, I didn’t realize that render scale to quality thing does what it does. I’ve had mine on performance scaling and man the visuals are mid at best 😩 great video !
Great video. Although I didn't expect dead silence after 2:47 for the rest 5 minutes lol.
Brotha was locked it* 😂
Thanks for the info. Get well soon. 💜
i did! :) thank you!
2:48 get well soon, Sam!
i did! :) thank you!
I used to have difficulty with playing halo infinite on the steam deck. And after doing some research, tinkering with the in-game and steam deck settings it's one of the best games I have in my library.
Is there a fix for the sound issue? Mine has crackling and abit laggy at times and it's bad when with other players
No tinkering? On release, it crashed on boot. Happy to see that it works now. Gonna re-install it!
Just wondering, I heard that this also works best with a specific version of Proton, is that true and which version?
I recommend checking on ProtonDB to check the reports
Just so everyone knows. He didn’t die because of lag 3:00, he died because he is sick 🤒
Sick of all that lag 😉😂
That’s dope dude. Now if they could just fix the matchmaking lol
Did you test it on higher difficulties?
I read online that the framerate tanks below 30 no matter the settings when there are too many enemies.
Yeah me too they were saying even stable 30 was not possible
@@Trainfan4567 using cryo utilities and setting UMA buffer to 4 gb helped me obtain steady 40 fps on the first 2 difficulty levels haven't tried more yet.
@@splork8016 thanks will give it a shot
I played rounds in challenging, haven't gone above but it really gets too low sometimes, was getting close to 20fps during big swarms using these settings. It's playable but barely. I'd say medium/hard difficulty is the max it can handle, pretty impressive already.
i hadn't played enough for higher difficulties when i made this, but i've been testing on level 9 helldive lately and i cant seem to get it to hold 40 no matter what :/ just too much goign on
Hey! Thanks for the vid! Can you also test settings for external display?
Yeah sure thjngn
Deck and Steam OS is here to show how console gaming should be done.
Imagine if you had all these options in the PS or XS consoles..
The freedom we have with this device is just amazing.
Thanks for the upload!
hey man, that overlay are you using? riva tuner? if not, could you do a tutorial on how to leave on the top of your screen like that?
Yeah sure thing! It’s just the stock performance overlay in quick settings
its built into the steam deck
@doesnotcompute6078 i got my riva tune to act just like it
Damn! This machine can run newest games releases? Wtf! Gonna buy one soon!
nice, thx for sharing
I just bought a PS5. Thinking about a steam deck next year. You think more models and upgrades in the future? Thanks!
Steam deck 2 is probably at least 1-2 years away.
Just get a steam deck pay in 4
@@alphagodvonpay in 4?
@@alphagodvon🤦🏻
Are you know which setting turn off the mist and fog by anychance ?
I got the LCD version and been running Helldivers 2 as well but now I’m wanting to get gaming pc but I’m not sure about the price and I don’t want a PS5 whole reason why I brought a SteamDeck. Got my eyes looking at a used Alienware R16 used at bestbuy got $1350 what do yall think?
I don't have a steamdeck but I did this to my low specs laptop and it gave me better experience.
I really thought this was a steam deck overlay until you just had the gameplay, then I realized you were just recording your screen 😭
Thank you bro
This game is so fucking good and i was shocked when i tried it out on deck myself and it ran well.
is gyro aiming available at all?
@@puncakewiz of course, the gyro will work as a mouse so yep.
You have got a subscriber in me😇
Since the SteamDeck OLED runs at up to 90 fps, would locked 45 fps be a better target for the OLED model than locked 40? If so, what are some good settings for locked 45?
Honestly probably the same settings will be very close to 45, maybe turn one thing down
Have you tried running the game on DX11 instead of DX12 by default? Not sure if it works on the deck, but if you try to launch Helldivers 2 on steam with the launch parameters "--use-d3d11" on, you could change the game to launch on DX11 and it improved my FPS by a decent amount on the PC. Here's hoping it would be a massive improvement for FPS without compromising much of the graphics
did you have Cryo utillities/ 4GB UMA Buffer installed /turned on during testing ?
i had cyroutitlies on, but the regular 1gb UMA buffer
For people like me that also have a gaming rig, worth it more to just add sunshine + moonlight in both devices and play streamed. I do this with heavy games like BG3, HD2 and others. Work flawlessly and the best part? 6h of battery life because the low amount of CPU and GPU usage =)
if you play streamed, can the FPS reach 60 at least? or is this 40 the best you're gonna get?
@@ravnicarisesyes, it reaches 60. It takes the fps/display settings you set on your monitor. It looks great and is really battery efficient . Heavily recommend.
What about battery life?
How do you throw a grenade? When I go to options, controller, change bindings, combat quick grenade has no input and when I try to change it nothing happens... I even tried with mouse to change it but nothing
In default settings Press right on the dpad to select grenades
I just have one question. Should I worry when the decks fan sounds like it's working on max power, or is it fine. Cuz it happens all the time when playing horizon zero dawn and I don't want to ruin the device.
nah i wouldn't worry about it, if you turn on the performance graph, check what the CPU and GPU temps are getting to, as long as its not higher than the mid 90s, i wouldn't worry, its within spec.
horizon Zero dawn is a demanding game so the deck is working full tilt, but that shouldn't cause any harm
@sam.alexander.reviews ok thank god. You're a life saver my man.
Bear in mind on more dense levels when shit hits the fan on 4p coop, expect that FPS to drop even more.
it's unplayable at harder difficulty to be quite honest
@@xBonafidexProdigy yeah especially on levels with lots of volumetric fog, which happens at higher difficulties
Don't forget to disable Depth of Field
It slaps!
Fsr is it on? Did you try it? Whst about higher difficulties?
I don't think most people even know how to use fsr correctly i used to think if its on then its working but the icon wouldn't say on in the performance overlay. You have to put the game in windowed mode for it to actually work and the icon will be green.
@@the.littlest.toaster if it's offered in game in the settings and enabled there, it won't show in the steam overlay. Only shows when your resolution is set below the default res & FSR is enabled in the steam OS settings.
I tried the last custom set but my fps is like 30 only, is it a OLED advantage or what
What about higher difficulty modes?
check out my other video on it! max difficulty playthrough
I played HD2 on steam deck for 2 days, but today I can’t launch it due of error 144 (steamguard: unable to connent to the update server) Smb solve it?
I tried different proton versions, tried to uninstall game but this error still appeara
Make sure you are using the latest update for steamdeck
Isn't the Steam Deck only like 720p/768p? You had it up-scaling to 1080p which would be wasting frames.
Its 1080 and below but there is no 768
Does it become unplayable on harder difficulties?
Anyone else not able to play anymore after the 2/14 update today??? I’m 14 hrs in and now when I try to load the game on the Deck I get a Sony-specific error message saying the game won’t load and given the option to send them a report on it. Tried a bunch of different proton options with no luck.
Had this aswel, i reinstalled. Worked. But now I have some huge inputlag problems
Wow thank you i subscribe will be waiting for more new games best settings
I dont have one but I think ill wait 1-2 years for the next model with a gpu revision
How does it works? I thought online multiplayer doesnt work on the steam deck because of the virus safety whatsoever.Or is it only Single Player?
It works fine for me!
It’s only for some games whose creators are too lazy to port their shitty anticheat s to Linux
i like the oled version of the steam deck, i tried it 1 month but send it back, 1 thing was horrible, the shattering of the 4 control buttons, if i shaked the deck, you could hear cleary the rattling and shaking sound of these buttons, i think some day they broke at first because of the space they got in this spot, and next thing i dont like, was the just 1 year warranty, dude 12 months more with asus are much cooler, and the z1 extreme only cost 80€ more for 3 months microsoft store gaming and not just steam, but everything else, like origin, battlenet, gog Ea.. Ubisoft.. ( i know it is possible to install on steam deck too, i tried this, but then my gamefiles was away but the SSD card still got 100 gb in use i dont know where they was saved) but 2 point allways goes to steamdeck, i really enjoyed the ergonomic and batterylife, impressing. the biggest minus with rog ally is ofc the low battery life and the SD burning shit
I think with all these hand helds out now, not having a offline mode is a huge miss.
You'd think that would be the first thing they implemented I mean hello ever heard of a gameboy???
Agreed
I understand why I guess. But I’m not happy about it either 😭😭😭
Online game offline? 😂 did you read what you said?
@@IghorMaia yeah I know what I said. I’ll say it again. They should of integrated an offline mode. I bet they would of doubled there sales.
a rock solid 30 fps with slightly better visual fidelity makes more sense to me btw there is a thread over on steam deck reddit that gained a lot of traction claiming solid 40 fps was not possible was there a recent patch? btw here is what the op said, maybe its different when playing co-op or something?
" i have an OLED, and have free space, got the extra ram, whatever. no matter the case it doesn’t matter OLED or not. there’s no way my SD can’t get even a stable 30fps on lowest settings besides texture and foliage on medium, yet some get 40 stable? lol okay, I have FSR on ULTRA PERFORMANCE!!!! can’t get 40fps let alone 35-30~ on most planets. idk if i’m f***in missing something, but i’m 95% sure im not. this is gonna be a game for the PC, not the deck, unfortunately. will hope for some QOL patches that would possibly help the deck’s performance!"
I got stable 45 on OLED man.... Only drops to 40 on some occasions. It is possible.dint believe everything you read online
FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS
the steam deck gets so hot, don't wanna cook my internals
I wish devs would support Vulkan more
Helldivers work well on a non oled steamdeck?
so how about when it gets to the higher difficulties or medium? does it drop?
video coming out on this soon! (but yeah it does)
Is it playable on the most expensive original model of steam deck?
yeah for sure! its playable on all models
@@sam.alexander.reviews thank you so much for that valuable information
Performance drops after difficulty 6 and up. How does it perform at those levels?
Check out my other video! Made one on exactly that :)
How's FSR on the Steam Deck? Does it improve performance?
Ohh o I’ll test that out
Do you know if this game can be played solo, and would it be worth it? Not sure, don't want to buy it and not enjoy it solo.
it can be played solo, i've done it a bit, its fun but way harder
@@sam.alexander.reviews Thanks for the Reply! Thinking of getting when there's a steam sale.
I think trying to achieve 45 fps might be the best option, especially for the Steam Deck OLED. 45 fps is exactly half of the 90 fps max refresh rate, which means running the display at the native 90hz refresh rate for the lowest possible input lag.
Does the OLED not directly change the refresh rate of the screen like the standard one can? In the settings for the standard one, it's possible to change the refresh rate of the screen itself, from 30Hz to 60Hz. Did they remove that from the OLED version or something?
@@CiromBreeze the old LCD version can change the refresh rate from 40-60. The new OLED can go from 40-90. But with both models you can do things like half refresh rate, so 45+45=90 or 30+30=60
You also get "double fps" By locking the OLED at 40 (since its also divisible by 80). I ve been doing that in MHW to avoid drops and feels more consistent in games with drops
@@ZEROxDEADDEAD oled can do 40fps 80hz
I put the same configuration and it works for me at 25-35 fps playing multiplayer... playing with people, how does it work for you? Thanxs
Yeah mines a bit better but close, try installing cryoutitlies, it hells
I’m ordering oled Wednesday
What happens when you plug it up to your tv? Is there any noticeable difference?
if you use the same resolution its the same, if you upscale you'll get worse performance
@@sam.alexander.reviews Hey, appreciate you answering my question.
Clarifying my question. Thinking of it like a Switch. Does it make your eyes hurt or look so bad that you’ll only want to play it handheld mode? Or can you go from handheld & then when your home, pick it back up on the Tv?
How long does the battery, running at the full charge?.
LCD deck: 1.2 hrs, OLED deck: 2.5 (thats worst case for both, max brightness, full performance, etc)
If you playing in 4k monitor go for ultra. Its just small screnn even 720p still look clean
Will the FPS drop when there are tons of enemies and explosion?
A bit yeah
@@sam.alexander.reviews Only a bit? Then it's good to hear. Helldivers 1 on Vita is playable only early stages where there's not many enemies... But on level 12 onward, the FPS dropped so much that it's barely playable. And if you crossplay, Vita player will experience slowdown.
So I was afraid this will also happen to steamdeck vs pc/ps5 players.
Whats happens when you have more enemies and stratagems being called in
I’ve had some frame rate drops, but nothing too bad
I've been playing with every setting on lowest and rendering set to Ultra Quality and with 3 other teammates vs difficulty 5 (or 6?) bugs I was regularly dropping to 16 fps.
@@wolverine005yep 16 is just unplayable anything under 30 is unplayable
@@petaisajoke I don't disagree.
6:41 most unfortunate blind dive ever
lol no kidding
How long is the battery life with those settings?
on the OLED about 2.5 hrs, on the LCD a little over 1 hr
Are you using cryoutilities ?
Cryoutility has been obsolete since steam os 3.5
@@mayze8611why??
this isnt entirely true. division2, forza etc stilll benefit from cryo even on the oled. it just isnt as big a difference after 3.5@@mayze8611
He replied to someone else in these comments (soth or something like that) and suggested using “Cryoutilities, it helps.”
yeah, 40fps is what you should play this game at. Unable to pause + requiring fast reaction times, 40 fps delivers a better experience. I do however play it on 30fps capped when doing 10watts. Reason being is because then the Deck is almost silent. I usually try to get games to run at 30 on 10watts and then build from there. If i can do that, i can usually get a 40fps experience at 15watts.
Do a palworld!
Hey so I’m a bit confused if you said to put render to quality or to native
i think is native . i have tried quality and the graphics are pretty bad and different from what his video shows
I’d do native, if you want to increase fps, do quality
@@sam.alexander.reviews What?? You CLEARLY said (and also made grafical overlays) for "Quality" render setting. And I have to agree. It looks terrible on the Deck. Looks like bad implemented FSR 1 while on Quality. And the game as such looks pretty bad out of the box, even on ULTRA on a 4090. Not impressed tbh by that game at the moment. Feels overhyped.
Do you know how well this works docked?
Exact same performance!
@@sam.alexander.reviews sick, love the game and your presets work really well. Steam deck dock bought!
👍🏻 👌🏼
Is it decent docked?
yup! thats how i've been playing it on my TV, 1080p, most everything low with quality upscaling
The game is stuck in black screen today. Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks, bruh
🫡
Only difficulty 2. Would like to see 4 or 5
Check out my latest video on it 🤙
Thanks for the video! I just bought and installed Helldivers 2 on my Steam Deck and I'm glad that it looks and plays decent in your video.
PS: Get well soon!
any frame dips on multiplayer?
yeah, i'm making a video on that today actually, hope to ahve it out soon (multiplayer on hell dive, hardest mode, tons of mobs, the framerate gets hit pretty hard)
@@sam.alexander.reviewsalright bet, I really wanna play and J got a deck but idk if I should drop $40 cuz nobody talks abt the multiplayer on the steam deck, what do you think?
Where did you bought the game??? Cuz i searched on my steam deck the steam store and i cant find it
Its not verified, so you just have to search for playable and verified games.
Make sure you make a check next to the yellow playable symbol under the search barn
Is this the OLED version?
Ye!
Yes but can it runs HD2 on level 9?
yep! check out my other video on it (it doens't run great though)
What’s the steam deck preset at ??
Mostly low with some medium
Ouf it runs better on Steam Deck than my PC 😂
now try it at high difficulty with a full squad. its a totally different ballgame performance wise lol
Just posted a video on that exact thing!
What about temperature?
temps are great on the OLED and a bit worse on the LCD but still well within spec, you will hear fan noise though
Using cryoutilities?
Cryoutilities is now obsolete with steamOS 3.5
@@rh4709 source? Or are you one of those weirdo zswap redditors?
Is this an oled deck?
yep, LCD deck got about 10% worse performance in my testing
are you using the oled version?
yes he is. you can tell, it’s got a bigger screen
@@gaben2644and the all black sticks.
Easy way to know is if his thumb sticks are completely black. Non OLED have white sticks
@@rh4709 thank you!
I mean it’s smoothly running a AAA game. That’s amazing. Prefer legion GO, but still, amazing.
Unfortunately it stopped working on the steam deck again due to the anti cheat 😔
You should have included a 4K60Hz external monitor configuration part as well
Can I use my ps5 profile on steam,?
It doesnt support cross progression
@@Coffee.Crisp. damn guess I'll be using a new character than
I don’t think so?
Doesnt matter how you tweak, 4 out 10 matches game crashes or kicks you out of mid match for no reason at all. This is getting tiring very fast.
you still need internet connection doesn't it?
yeah :/
Me playing on lowest settings with performance rendering
Had to refund the game cause it would not launch. No matter what I did. I don’t know how people got it in the deck but mine says “an error has occurred with this game” constantly
I'm surprised it works with Kernel level anti cheat.
Grow up nobody cares. Lmao I love popcorn. Cooked from corn kernals?
