A Steam Deck with 32GB of RAM is something else.

The most amount of RAM you can mod into the Steam Deck. Does 32GB make a difference long-term though?

If valve makes a 32gb version, people will solder 64gb to it

By the thumbnail I thought this was a new optimum tech video.

I bumped up my Swap file size on my oLED to 16GB using Cryoutilities, games that previously hard crashed the Deck from hitting the memory limit have been able to slip into swapping and it's improved my experience a ton, eliminated nearly all of my previous stutters and crashes.
Just have to keep in mind that heavy swapping is bad for SSDs in the long term.
A similar system exists for Windows called Paging, for people who are less familiar with Linux, the Swap system is very similar to Windows' Page system.

Never seen your videos before but just watched 2 back to back that were filmed a year apart. Your arms are DEFINITELY bigger, my dude. It’s quite noticeable. Good work.

1:42 i love the labeling on the car's license plate lol

"Midnight Fight Express" is the game on the background

also to mention you need a custom bios image for the support of 32Gb of ram and also allocate some of the ram to be Vram for the gpu

32 gigs of RAM + lossless scaling = something else. I have a Aya Neo slide 32 gigs of RAM 7, 000 series chip. It can run Returnal w/ ray traced shadows & reflections on medium & get about 25-26 fps natively then double it to 50 with lossless scaling & it runs. It’s using 16 gigs of RAM to do it.

steamdeck 2 should have min 24 or 32 gb of ram with an eight core cpu for sure and we are safe

[SmoochyRoo]

LMAO I adore how the deck is scalable through upgrades this way, something new comes up and you can just slapstick some upgrades to being it inline

[lifebeezy]

We need a tutorial on how to upgrade the ram and what tools to use.

[RolandDobbins]

Win 4 & Win Mini max out at 32GB of RAM. Win Max 2 has a 64GB option.

My OG Steamdeck died a couple of months ago high up in the Andes. Think i will wait for the next generation before buying again. Do you think there will be a release in 25?

Someone told me that Specter always moves his hands in a circular motion to explain stuff... switching whatever he's holding from one hand to another. and now I can't help but notice it!!!


anyway thanks for the video. maybe valve will up the ram for the next steam deck. it will help GREATLY with frametime and some fps and stability

[lionxray]

What game is that at 3:09? Looks like a couple of boats shooting at a helicopter?

[Mace]

Can you not upgrade the OLED with 32GB yet?

[byssyba]

Valve will release Steamdeck 2 after switch 2 launch

[MladenMihajlovic]

I wish people would add title of games they are showing when doing these videos. I always see a game that looks interesting but then have no idea what it's called. Please someone tell me what game is at 1:11

[JohnWeland]

I was curious when I saw the other video. I wonder if the OLED version can also get a similar mod done and what the impact looks like.

Not only brains but brawn as well! Nice gains bro
