Install and Use PowerTools on the Steam Deck « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!


PiMyLife up put together this guide to help Steam Deck users install PowerTools to provide greater system control:

Using this tool, you can improve the performance of the Steam Deck in various games and tools. For example, in some emulators, disabling SMT improves the performance of some emulators on the Deck.

You can even use this tool to improve the battery life of your Steam Deck. Not all games will need the full power of the Deck so you can do things such as limiting the clock rate of the core and even decreasing the maximum power usage of your GPU.
