so I've been playing around with my steam deck for the past 3/4 days to see how much performance I can squeeze out of it without killing it.
I ended up undervolting the CPU, SOC and GPU the sweet spot for me was -40 for the CPU, -30 for the SOC and -30 on the GPU although I was able to go -55,-55,-50.
I then increased the TDP from the stock 15W to 23W (I was able to push it to 25W but it wasn't stable and the temps of both CPU and GPU were hitting 100C)
Lastly, I overclocked both the CPU and GPU. Obviously the GPU is less important for FM however I went for CPU 4.1Ghz and 2Ghh on the GPU. While testing with FM the CPU never went over 4Ghz.
I ran the benchmarks again and the results are impressive for benchmark C
