I live in a country where the deck is not available, but I was recently visiting the US and wanted to get one, and to order one you must need an American account which requires an American credit card. The way I got past that is I sent my American friend 400 (+taxes) dollars in gift cards and she ordered it for me. I now have a deck and I absolutely love this thing, I hope this could maybe help anyone who's trying to buy a deck outside valve's official distribution.

I mentioned this elsewhere already: reducing CPU clocks is a huge deal! It has very little impact on performance, as most modern games are rather GPU limited. But you can lower your temperatures down from >80° to around 65-70°C. This also means that the fan will stay silent, and it even works with performance hungry games like Cyberpunk 2077 (2000-2400 MHz works well).

Most people recommend 130 Saturation on VibrantDeck from what I've read. I played with it and also landed on 130 being the sweetspot. I really can't go without it. Had to factory reset my steam deck when I upgraded the SSD and was missing that saturation boost. It definitely does give it a look that's a bit more similar to an OLED. Obvious not exactly, but a nice and notable change that just makes everything pop a bit more.

With this script, all works totally fine, and I moved one more step to the personalization of MY Deck. Installed vibrantDeck, Bluetooth, CSS Loader and Power Tools. I chose the "Obsidian" theme background, which looks, together with the vibrantDeck setting on 140 saturation, absolutely incredible. I always hated the so called black background of handheld consoles, which is always some kind of dark grey, and looked washed out. Now, with this popping colors and the better saturation, the Deck screen looks like an OLED screen. With so much saturation, it´s even possible to turn down brightness much more, which could help in battery life - maybe not much, but some. Games look incredible!!!

Decky developer here. Please do not ignore Deck updates, that will cause you more problems than updating. As long as you keep both Decky and your Deck up to date, on the stable channel you shouldn't see much breakage, and on Beta it will usually be fixed by a Decky update fairly quickly and can be installed by downloading and running the Decky installer again once a fix is installable. Additionally, you should never need to reset your deck because of issues with Decky. Decky does not make system-level changes that would cause permanent issues with your SteamOS install, though we can't say the same for some plugins, especially those that make changes to hardware-level settings.

Yep, the saturation is a bit low on the Deck but that honesty looks blinding. Even more saturation that the vivid mode on a Switch OLED. When it comes to cores, disabling SMT and reducing threads to 3 actually improves performance for Dolphin (GC/Wii) as each core will clock higher. To save battery, the options built in to the Deck are better and can be used on a per game basis, unlike Power Tools.

that's why it's a slider lol

instead of saturation imo people should use it to take down the blue value to 90. This fixes the issues with Deck's overly blue filter and everything looks the proper color

@@BernardoOne yes, it’s definitely too cool/blue. I remember reading somewhere on Resetera I think that discussed getting great results just using night mode (without a plug-in) and making adjustments. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find the post.

I set it around 120, too much higher and you start to lose detail.

I did everything correctly I did even the old methods from 7 months ago and restarted my deck after the install just to see if it needed it and nothing any thoughts?

I wish the Powertools settings could be per-game, I tend not to turn down the settings on Powertools because I forget about it when switching games and that causes performance issues.

My on thing with the power tool is I’m afraid I would do a wrong setting for a game and possibly brick my deck.

It would be amazing if power tools had a custom profile for each game. Tweak it to your liking and forget it.

Tried Decky Loader and with the amount of issues it has on every other update especially when Valve wants to update the client/OS and you have to wait for Decky developers to catch up, the benefits you get are cool but if you're using your Steam Deck and are already happy with it don't go down the rabbit holes of all this, after tinkering and messing I realised that it becomes more obsessive as you do it and I spent more time just updating everything than actually using the device for what its meant for. So I factory reset it to make sure Decky Loader was completely off of it and haven't looked back.

Or, just simply drop vibrant deck, and power tools onto it and call it good. Those are the only two things I use and don't tinker like some people excessively do. But some people's enjoyment of the deck is entirely derived from the fact that you CAN tinker to this extent with a handheld. That's the best part. It's for everyone that wants to do anything! I love this thing so much, and I have a 4000$ desktop setup I built with a 3090ti in it lmao.
