Cant wait to watch later. I personally dont care about more fps, i want stable fps. The 1% lows and hitching and studdering is what really kills gaming for me. A solid 50+ with the vrr is what i really want.

The tip about vram allocation might help, give a little more ram to your GPU. Depends on what games you're playing, but often stutters is caused when there's a lot of moving around of memory from ram to disk (paging), and often it means some process is not getting enough memory.

Reason why I'm buying this is because of Windows. I don't get it why some people make a big deal out of it. Just open steam? Play your game? I understand Steam deck is much more easier to navigate and console experience. I already have a PS5 , I want a replacement for my pc. Handheld fits right to my alley.

Oh I get you, I personally like that it's a full version of windows as it gives you full versatility. My wife actually replaced her PC with an ALLY and loves it. Anyone with PC knowledge will do just fine, agreed. However, we're seeing a lot of commenters coming from a gaming console and expecting this to be a gaming only machine, then becoming frustrated with irrelevant windows programs and setups. I get that, I think windows should eventually release a bloat free version of windows with quicker setup, without Office365/OneDrive etc. that 90% of people won't be using on a device like this. This wouldn't even be detrimental to those wanting to multitask on the system as you'd be able to just download and install anything you like after.

The comments on windows are very harsh imo. I been using a pc for years and windows doesn’t bother me. This is my pc replacement for the most part so I like having the full computer experience. If I just wanted a gaming machine this guide would be more helpful to me unfortunately that isn’t the case. Maybe I’m a geek who just knows how to use windows? I agree they should make a mobile windows or front end mode for gaming, however I don’t think it’s that hard to use modern windows 11. Didn’t realize that many people had trouble using it

true, but people want to convince themself they made a good choice by buying a deck. Those people keep crying that windows is a hell and Steam OS is so much better. I've had both, and both are good, there's no need to be a fanboy about either one. Both have their pro's and weaknesses, but Windows is def not that bad. The update part can be annoying sometimes, but its not like it happens everyday. SteamOS is shit with all the launchers and tinkering if you want to mod or use cheats.

Older or emulated games would not need more than 8gB VRAM, so you may be right saying to leave it at that and change it on a per-game basis. But DO NOT ENABLE CPU BOOST! If it is anything like Turbo Boost on my 2019 gaming laptop, it would do more harm than good on a handheld PC.
