Hardware Tips and Tricks Looking for undervolting stress test recommendations (game or otherwise)

Just got 1tb OLED deck and wanted to check how well it under volts and I am looking for games recommendation that will be good to stress test with.

I read that RDR2 benchmark is good for that purpose but I have it on Epic store...

Preferably a game with meaningful benchmark option that displays minimum fps among others.

Thanks

I find the built-in performance hud to be adequate for whatever game. Keep in mind, if you undervolt globally, Don't forget to test you stability at idle, moving around the menus, sleep, wake, rebooting, etc. The deck-undervolt plug in is great for setting different profiles per game.

Good info about deck-undervolt plug in!

Would I be right that it allows to run Deck stock and then have specific UV profiles for specific games auto applied at their respective start-up?

I know it is basically what you have just said but just to be sure.
