Creator of the tech tool showed on a live stream that the performance improvement is negligible

No performance benefits with this tool and 4gb of VRAM bios tweak also doesn’t improve performance like it used to.

Mostly due to the 3,5,5 bios update it seams. Still a good tool for saving space but I’m going to skip when my oled arrives

    Thank you for all the work you do for this community. As soon as I ordered my OLED i was waiting on word for you on how CU holds up. Glad to hear it’s still worth having!

    Also I don’t know if this would be the correct place to put this, but I did have a scary glitch occur. I just reinstalled the latest version of cryoutilities on my steam deck OLED, i then hit recommended settings and after that I turned it off from desktop and booted recovery mode to change the vram to 4gb. I rebooted back up, went back into desktop to double check that it worked, and went back to gaming mode (all pretty fast, i think before the deck really had time to boot up and settle in? Is that a thing?). As i switched to gaming mode the screen went black and these glitchy vertical green lines started creeping across my screen from right to left, while i could still move the sticks and get menu sounds. I ended up holding the power button down til it shut off and rebooted and everything seems fine? But I really thought i borked the whole thing for a minute there lol. Maybe this isn’t actually cryoutilities related but in case it is I thought i should tell you! That said I’ve turned it on and off multiple times later today just during regular usage and it seems fine now?

      Firstly, thank you for watching the content, and for using CU!

      Secondly, it sounds like either GameScope or the Steam client failed to start properly on your way back into game mode. Nothing CU does (or the 4GB of VRAM) should cause that, so I think you’ll be fine as long as it doesn’t continue happening :)
