You are beyond clueless lol.

The fucking IRONY. Dude I’ve been a sysadmin devsecops engineer for 2 decades.

It’s fine if someone says that they don’t think CU2 is good and makes valid points with evidences to back it up

He has. That’s the thing: He has. You’re just too dumb to understand what’s being said. Multiple people have. What about this for a valid point: What use is a 16GB swap file if literally 0 bytes of it are in use?

On one hand you have a linux veteran with decade of experiences

All of us have decades of experience. Believe it or not, but there are actually lots and lots of people who’ve been using Linux for a very long time out there.

And none of us (including cryobyte) are anywhere near the top of the tree. Not even close.

it’s not even close to what Cryo does.

It’s actually interesting you say that, because it’s long since been pointed out that Cryo’s own videos don’t prove his point.

I’d like you to watch that video and provide evidence as to why he recommends a 4GB vram buffer. His own charts show it as slower… Yet he recommends it anyway.

just making a video showcasing 1 game with it isn’t enough

Here’s the obvious truth: There is no amount of evidence that will be enough. This German dude has benchmarked 120 fucking games for fucks sake, and this post is still littered with people refusing to acknowledge that there is no benefit to “CU2”.

Cryo himself said he tried to have a technical conversation with him back when CU came out but he was apparently being a total asshole.

I’ve spoken with him myself, and I can tell you now: He cannot explain why a 16GB swap file is necessary if it literally isn’t being used at all.

Not that I have any grudge nor disrespect for the guy, quite the opposite. His utility is a nice tool. The main issue I have is the “reccomended settings” part, because it obfuscates the good tweaks from the bad. And it’s not his fault at all, but his fandom is such that it OBVIOUSLY is hampering debate about what tweaks are valuable, which aren’t, and how to push things forward.

He deserves it. This subreddit can be extremely anti-intellectual and it drives away those with actual knowledge from bothering to contribute. If you don’t understand what the tweaks behind Cryoutilities do, surely it’s pretty obvious that you have little to add to the discussion?

People will justify their actions with bullshit excuses. “He didn’t provide evidence” - he has. “He wasn’t very nice about making his points” - he has been attacked relentlessly for months and has every right to be annoyed.

And it’s FAR from just Deathblade. There are actually loads of us who’ve raised concerns about some of the tweaks employed by the CryoUtilities tool. Setting swappiness to a low value? Sure, probably a decent idea. Turning on transparent hugepages? Probably helps some workloads, probably hurts others.

But setting a 16GB swap file on a 64GB deck was always downright a very bad idea, for example. Turning off memory defragmentation is obviously going to have consequences as uptime increases.

But why bother sharing knowledge on here and getting relentless downvotes and abuse? Honestly, ask yourself: Would you have bothered to speak up? I know I didn’t.

I’ve had my Samsung ram overclocked for 6 months.

I repeat: This is just laughably authoritative considering you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Run: “sudo dmidecode” from a konsole window in game mode, and then scan through the output. You’ll see the make and model of the ram listed.

FYI though both Micron and Samsung ram is overclockable.

Though it’s the most unstable and easily brickable of all Steam Deck overclocks, so I wouldn’t, personally. If you do have Samsung RAM… don’t even think about it.

This is just laughably authoritative considering you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
