MazonnaCara89[MOD] SteamDeck upgrade to 32gb of ram
kaduTo be honest, RAM amount is far from being relevant on the Steam Deck. RAM speed is what’s crucially limiting it, and even a minor overclock gives noticeable improvements.
Adding new Samsung chips to achieve 32GB isn’t that relevant. Adding new chips that can sustain higher clocks and overclocking… Now we are talking.
phxUh, actually RAM amount is the difference between some games being playable or not at all, and there are plenty of game issues related to insufficient/low memory
If you’re going to “uh, actually” me, do us a favor and show me a game not running on the Steam Deck due to lack of RAM.
It’s not that the RAM hungry ones don’t run, it’s that they fill up the RAM and create stuttering - sometimes even with a big page file. Emulators can do this, for example.
And more RAM is particularly good because the CPU and GPU pull from the same pool of RAM in the device.
