Any overlay will always cause a performance loss since its rendering alongside the compositor, but it is relatively minimal (e.g. around a 0.1% hit), even with iGPUs. When using Proton on a new system (regardless of distro), yes it does require a bunch of tinkering to get working, but once it's...

That is actually the "fault" of how the GPU is labelled from the AMD driver, both in Windows and in Linux. If you look at the Steam Deck's System page, it shows the "Video Card" as "AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH)". It shows "AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics" when you manually install the AMD driver...

Yeah, those are the older versions too. Not the reworked Area 51 that seems to be better.

Most likely AMD does not need to do much, they just need to communicate whatever changes they make with FSR4 to Sony and it will be their team who will implement it into PSSR. As you said, and from that SIE technical video with Mark Cerny, they implemented INT8/FP8 into their RDNA cores, so...

Amazingly this still has the 3.5mm jack, which is perfect for direct analog stereo connections. The audio codecs it decodes over BT are standard SBC, AAC-MPEG2 (.m4a) and LC3 (needed to meet the LE Audio protocol). 30W+10W paired woofers and tweeters in such a small design is a plus.

Big changes honestly. To be honest L4/R4 on 3rd party controllers has become super helpful in most of the games I play. When practicing using a game pad in Apex Legends, having the extra buttons bound to both duck+jump allows me to superglide more consistently than hitting X+RS3, which has a...

This is not bad looking. I do still prefer the original NR200 since I don't like relying on riser cables, but this looks like it would work for big video cards. If it only had a handle then I would consider getting this. HYTE's Revolt 3 is good, but the rear motherboard I/O ports being on the...

For more insight, this is what it runs: My only concern is that it seems to be forcing you to log in with a Microsoft Account (which will enable the Xbox profile on the account if you do). I only use a local account on Windows 10/11 computers so this would be quite annoying if Microsoft...

Not possible. I tried 110W TDP on my Flow Z13 (AI Max+ 395, 64 GB RAM) and it's not worth it for the constant 95C at maximum CPU and iGPU load. The HSF in my tablet has two fans and a vapor chamber but still can't keep a TDP above 80+ cool enough to the touch. At 60W-80W TDP it can keep it...

It works fine. If you run a Steam game that doesn't use Steamworks DRM, it will just run without launching any Steam binaries (I tested Cyberpunk 2077). If it does it will invoke the steamwebhelper.exe and ask you to log into Steam (or just automatically log in in the background depending on...

Yeah, that's correct. I know it's not the maximum total power draw (which is presumably up to the rated 330W that the PSU supports, although I know that specific Chicony one can handle around 370W before OVP/OCP kicks in), but they use these "TDP" or "TGP" as their indicator of achievable...

This uses ASMedia's ASM2464PD, just like any other USB4v1 device currently out there.

God damn it man. :mad: Should be in by June 25. :oops:

Yup, I knew you would probably give me an eBay link. This is not a problem. :) Not sure if you have it set up for testing yet, but could you provide screenshots of the BIOS later? If it's like the Fubuki one, that would seal the deal in me dropping $500 for a B850 lol This is...

@Solaris17 Do you have links on where I can purchase the B850 motherboard and RAM?
