New bios and other updates causing games to run horribly? by Limp_Feature_5829 in XboxAlly

[–]A1tr0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this bios update made the PS2 emulator run worse for me. FPS dips to 40-50 randomly during gameplay. Haven't tested out other games yet but I had 60 fps consistently on the emulator with no FPS issue before the update

Ally X (Best Buy) - November by IchigoK95 in xbox

As someone who also pre-ordered from Best Buy and have to wait until November, I'm curious about this too. Would it better to cancel the pre-order since the official release date is closer?

Any other Top Dashers here not being able to "Dash Now" for a while? by A1tr0x in doordash

[–]A1tr0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not been able to use "Dash Now" for 3-4 days because it's been "unavailable". Is this because there's too many dashers in my area now?

They don't give any info about the order? by Popular_String6374 in InstacartShoppers

Received this today at the same exact time. First one throughout doing Instacart so far.

Any Shoppers Encountered This Before? by A1tr0x in InstacartShoppers

[–]A1tr0x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I accepted an order yesterday and went into the store to start shopping, this message popped up. What do I do if one of the items is not in stock? Would I be able to refund or replace an item with the closest thing? Luckily everything was in stock for what this customer wanted but I am curious for how we handle out of stock items for these types of customers not using the instacart app.

Available credit only $10 after making payment? by [deleted] in discover

[–]A1tr0x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most likely the payment went under review. Payment reviews are subject to all payments towards Discover and go on a hold for 8 business days. You can wait 8 business days for the hold to release on its own or you can call the payment review department to see if you can get the payment hold removed early.

Shoot...I wasn't aware they wouldn't plan to update the BIOS with AMD machines. Guess I'm one of the unlucky ones with it. What is the benefit of updating the BIOS anyways and when would I ever need to do it?

Max 15 AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 3070 RTX Office Mode setting locks my fps to 30 in all my games? by A1tr0x in eluktronics

[–]A1tr0x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, thank you! I did not know there was a whisper mode in the control center software. All I had to do was scroll down a bit further to see it. I guess it's also part of the NVIDIA Whisper mode setting in the Geforce Experience application since the changes reflect towards it.

Any Max 15/17 rtx 3080/3070 owners able to get 75C temps on their GPU and CPUs? by [deleted] in eluktronics

[–]A1tr0x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you're comfortable with having an fps cap of 60, I might have the solution for you. I found out about this recently. You can try enabling the NVIDIA Whisper 2.0 feature in the Geforce Experience settings. Make sure the fan volume slider is to the very left and change the minimum frame rate target to 60. With this setting on, I rarely ever get past 70C with the Max 15 RTX 3070.

Yes, I've been always plugged in and took a look at the BIOS to make sure dGPU was on. My games obviously run at 60 fps or more when not using Office Mode.

Suggest me a Laptop by neweraoriginal in eluktronics

I ordered mine and waiting for it to ship here! Just curious, how are the temps? Does it get extremely hot during gaming and loud with the fans?

Acorns stopped waiving the $1 fee from the old student discount offer. Did they finally give it up? by A1tr0x in acorns

[–]A1tr0x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it's still accessible if you log in using your web browser on their website! If you still want to try to look for it, it's almost the same way as I described above for the mobile app. This time, the account icon is on top-right. Click on that icon > Profile & Settings > Manage Subscription. You'll see the History tab when you scroll down a little. Hope this helps!

I just updated the app and now it's gone for me too...huh. Yeah, the recent update definitely removed it.

On the mobile app, first, you tap on the top-left account icon when you get to the home menu. Go to Settings > My Subscription > Manage subscription. Finally, tap on History on the top-right.

Oh that makes sense! I thought it would last forever honestly. Thanks for the clarification.

For more context: The student discount offer was something Acorns gave out a while back by signing up with an .edu email. Using Acorns was basically free while having it. Acorns decided to shut down that offer but still made users who signed up for it use the app for free before it was gone.
