It depends. The CPU and GPU use the same ram. Increasing the size and swapping to something with higher frequencies and better timings can’t hurt it you are playing games that are stressing the limits of the system. You could give the GPU 10 GB of faster RAM which is what likely holds the system back.
So while it breaks updating the UEFI (BIOS technically died years ago) I don’t see a huge issue there. I haven’t updated the firmware in my X470 MoBo in years. Version 4.80 is on it but version 11 something is available but again if it ain’t broke don’t fix it comes to mind.
I would imagine there had to be some performance benefits since from my understanding the CPU and GPU use the same memory. If the memory is faster boosting the ram speed and tightening the timing would only increase the benefits. Though I would think that the modders should be able to make it so the UEFI can be flashed still and give the user control of the cpu and gpu frequencies and timings but prevent the OEM UEFI files from being used. Some sort of change in file extension would be simple enough but there I don’t really know for sure.
Would love to see some testing though.
Movie theaters control sound reverberations. A simple sound bar worth a sub will improve audio quite a bit over any output but even a pair of Bluetooth speakers can help, if you want stereo look at the Anker Soundcore series with “TWS.” I use a pair of Soundcore Motion Boom’s for when I am doing stuff and they area amazing, I upgraded from a a pair of Soundcore 2’s that fell off the roof and few times and were not really holding a charge like they should.
To give you the sound you will want to make some sound deadening panels. Basically get some 1X2 furring strips and build some simple squares, cover them with fabric(something with a soft texture is best) , and insert some cheap convoluted foam then hang them around your viewing space. As time goes by you can add more if you feel the need. Also carpet the room, but at the very least get some throw rugs. You could also hang something like the rugs on the wall, it’s ghetto but as I said the experience is about controlling sound reverberations.
But being on a phone screen and needing portability honestly I would go buy a tablet (I suggest the Samsung A9+) and a pair of noise canceling earbuds I have a set of Soundcore Space A40’s that I use to listen to music while mowing, in a quieter environment like a store I hear next to nothing. My other half uses the A9+ and she had had no issues I suggest that over the super cheapo ones as they tend to only be decent for a year or two. We bought a pair of them in 2021 and both are nearly worthless for anything outside of a wall tablet for home assistant after 3 years and they are still barely working for that. My stepson’s was swapped for my even older Tab S4 which was an upgrade over the newer cheapo.

That makes your setup a ton better for less than 300 and it will easily last you for a while.
My stepson is likely a 37 yeast old virgin.
Don’t be like my stepson.
Get a haircut, take a shower, go out on a date. When you are with her ask her on another. Take the chance to see where things go. If you don’t before you know it you will be someone’s 40 year old virgin.
No clue. Don’t even have a steamdeck myself. I’m sure a similar mod could be done if you have the correct ram chips and tools plus the ability to mod the UEFI.
