I’m new to PC gaming and the steam deck is my first real gaming PC type device. I’m just now learning about God of War’s problems on the steam deck and this memory leak sounds concerning to me. Though I haven’t experienced any major issues yet with the game, I’m aware that many people are saying that the game crashes with inevitable memory leaks. What exactly is a memory leak? And does it damage the device internally in any way? This video is great by the way! Someone recommended this video to me so I can get this game running well. When I have time, I’ll try these settings out
@cryobyte33

Thank you for watching! A "memory leak" is when a program starts using some memory and then doesn't "release" it when it's no longer needed. Eventually all your memory gets full and it can cause crashes, but it won't harm the device in any way. It can also cause performance issues, because the more "full" the memory is, the harder it is for the program to request new memory. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have, or join the Discord if you're interested!

Interesting, mine has stayed on through reboots, maybe you have a sticky value somewhere? As for doing it in Desktop mode, you'd need a custom sysctl unit or to modify /etc/sysctl.conf directly and add: vm.nr_hugepages = NUM Replace NUM with the number of pages you want the max size of a hugepage to be.

Hey man I've been watching since very early on and I just wanna tell you to keep at it, you're doing genuinely great work and I honestly see a very well deserved successful channel coming from this if you keep at it. A question though, because I might be incorrect but i was always under the impression that anisotropic filtering had negligible performance detriment even when maxed to x16 and on a lot of steam deck related videos I see people opting for x2 or x4, although in my opinion the cost savings are so negligible its just as well to have the increased fidelity at all times. Let me know your thoughts on if I'm incorrect I'd love to learn more
@cryobyte33
Жыл бұрын
Thank you for being an avid supporter of the channel ❤️ Anistropic filtering cranked to max on a normal GPU is "free", but it does take some VRAM. That VRAM distinction is what makes lower values perform marginally better, particularly in lows, on the Steam Deck. Speaking directly to God of War, I noticed that some lag spikes were up to 14% worse with anistropic filtering maxed out, which I suspect is due to swapping assets out more often. Thank you again for watching everything, and I hope this helps!

@CryoByte33 hey I was doing some fiddling with Aniso just last night on RDR too and actually got a huge stability increase when playing RDR2 at 4x rather than me just habitually setting it to 16. I was playing through the beginning and even with the snow which tends to be a pretty stressful point graphically I was able to maintain a locked 45fps/45Hz refresh rate whereas I was teetering on 37-40 with Aniso set to max so being able to squeeze some last extra frames for stability was a huge surprise! And on such a small screen I guess it was the right call because my blind ass could not tell a single difference in visual fidelity at 4x haha thanks so much for the new info and I'll be sure to be fiddling around with this setting in the future more as a result.

Hello, I have a question to ask (I'm not really tech savvy so forgive me if I get anything wrong) In most of your deep dive videos, I noticed that putting a 30 fps cap would help flatten the frametime graph Is it safe to assume that most games would have a similar flat line if you cap the game at 30fps due to the extra breathing room for frame pacing? As always, thanks for the excellent content!
@cryobyte33
Жыл бұрын
No judgement here, I'm here to help! That's correct. The GPU has a certain amount of "work units" or "operations per second", let's say. Limiting frames lets the GPU start working on the next frame a tiny bit earlier, so the frames get out right on time rather than "as soon as the GPU can get it done". Overall, it maintains a much more solid experience. The human mind is better at dealing with an exact interval to react, rather than a fluctuating one, so limiting frames really helps there. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!

You can definitely show me a picture, but IDK if it would help, I don't know why perf is so different 😅 As for getting the FPS, I use MangoHUD's built-in logging to get all the metrics for my graphs. Check out MangoHUD on GitHub and check under "FPS Logging". As for actually graphing it, they have a fairly limited site that can graph the generated logs, but I programmed my own log parser and render the graphs myself directly from the .csv files that are generated.

The Steam Deck's resolution is actually higher than the switch OLED, but OLED panels have different heat and voltage properties, so a simple screen swap probably isn't possible.

Was waiting for this. One thing about the memory leak. On Desktop PC its different story, GoW runs butter smoooth. So this looks like some mischief of Proton maybe? (Just guessing). Also comparing GoW and Horizon which one you think is better? In relation to Steam deck performance/visual achievable vise? As well another top notch video!
@cryobyte33
Жыл бұрын
Welcome back to the channel! I think that they use DX11 in an odd way, relying on Windows' GC (garbage collection) to take care of the memory for them, rather than actually programming the game to do it manually. I've heard that the PS4, where these games were originally published, automatically does GC for you and it's slightly more efficient that way. Unfortunately, if your PC isn't a very specific spec or you're running through Proton then the GC doesn't work properly and it basically loads the entire game into memory. I have a lot of theories and musings on it, better served in a Discord or dedicated video, but in general I think that they're a bit sloppy as ports go 😅 As for which I think is the better port, I'd say Horizon, even with the dips we could usually get a solid lock and it didn't light the CPU on fire in the same way, despite having more complex AI. As always, thank you so much for being a longtime viewer, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! 😁

Thank you so much for covering this! People ask about this one so much on reddit so I'm sure that the community will be ecstatic. When I played through it about a month ago, I think I landed somewhere around your prettiest settings recommendations with a locked 30 and it rarely dipped to 28/29 for a very few instances throughout the game. Additionally, I think that you could also keep those same settings, but drop the res to 720p and lock the refresh rate to 40hz and have a similar experience as above at 40fps with rare dips to 38/39, although I hadn't tested that one as thoroughly as the 30 option, if you wanted to keep the "prettiness". I wanted to bring that option up in the event that someone preferred it for whatever reason, but you unfortunately wouldn't be running at native res anymore so there is a trade off. Not saying that it's better than your recommendation by any means, just offering additional insight, hope that's okay. I appreciate all of your hard work and the education that you provide so much! You're awesome. I look forward to the next one as I do every week! Waiting on the edge of my seat for The Witcher 3 update video lol

There's a tradeoff here. The in-game limiter has worse frame pacing, but very little input latency. Using the overlay limiter has really good pacing, but very high latency. Which one I recommend depends on the game, and I found that having higher input lag with the combat in God of War was a death sentence, whereas the frame pacing hit wasn't as detrimental. That said, if you prefer one over another then definitely choose the other, thank you for watching!

@cryobyte33
Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Before testing each game I check if the SD card makes any difference to gameplay, but the only difference that I've noticed during my deep dives is loading times. Having a game installed to SSD tends to speed up game boots and loading by between 5-20%, depending on the game, but the performance boost from having the files on the SSD is cancelled out by swapping that happens during those situations. That said, my SD card is middle-of-the-road, so results might be different on worse, or better, microSDs and I haven't had the opportunity to test that yet 🙂 Hopefully this helps!
