Settings Questions For Bazzite On Deck

So I installed bazzite on my steamdeck. I have two questions. 1) considering you guys seem to have your own setting’s should I bother to change the UMA frame buffer? 2) do the under volt setting still work in bazzite if I set it from the bios? 3) are there any other settings I need to use?

1. You do not need to change it from the default of 1GB. the Cryo suggestion of 4GB is not needed when a game needs more than what is provided. It is not good when a game does not need more than 4GB. In fact, I turn mine down to the minimum of 256MB 2. Can't answer. I use the soft undervolt 3. just use it as-is and adjust as needed

Okay so how would I properly under volt when using bazzite? I glanced at the feature’s for bazzite and recall seeing a program for undervolting?

you have the option of using the bios, or using the service you cannot use both (unless you only undervolt GPU in the bios) don't use the service? use the bios for all 3
