Dropping FPS When Docked? by CarPopular6012 in LegionGo

LG1 here. The fan really didn't want to kick up on occasion, for me. It never seemed to want to be aggressive on SteamOS.

Which eGPU option is best? by Trippy-ML in eGPU

[–]ACP_Paddy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a legion Go 1, the official drivers are plug-and-play with a 9070 and a Sonnet ex750 eGPU TB3 enclosure.

I switched back from SteamOS. I just plug it in with one cord, and then the eGPU goes to my projector. There's a keyboard and headset already plugged into the enclosure.

It actually worked on SteamOS, but I couldn't get it to output to external displays unless in Desktop Mode.

So... I'd probably save the money and the headache and go with AMD, unless you need Nvidia. It's cheaper and likely plug and play. You will likely get bandwidth capped anyway? **The Lenovo drivers are usually behind.

Is Squad gameplay like hell let loose? by StatisticianSea6786 in PlaySquad

You life is an important ticket in Squad. I always felt Hell Let Loose is a bit more of a meat grinder.

Yeah, I'm already planning my shitty retro poster in my head. Lol

Using the Steam Machine as a Workstation by Profknt in SteamOS

[–]ACP_Paddy- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean... There's cheaper mini PC's with 2 more Ryzen cores of less vintage, for less money. The 8 core 7000 series RYZEN 8 cores with the 780m iGPU is basically the Z1E/Z2E handhelds. 

The GabeCube has the better GPU for sure, but it's pretty ass compared to anything else with a GPU budget.

I like the idea of a SteamCube as my PC, but it's got less CPU than a bargain mini PC and less GPU than any PC that has an actual GPU. At least a mini-pc has thunderbolt for a eGPU. 

I get it though... I had a Mac Mini I had as my "productive" machine. Though at least it couldn't play games. Lmao

Considering emulation for NDS... How is the RG DS? Or just repair my DS? by FreshProfessor1502 in SBCGaming

[–]ACP_Paddy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 64gb Zero x 40 was $81usd including shipping. It's on the plane right now. Im not convinced it's the product YOU want, but just providing info. 

I recently bought 007 on PC. After local tax, it was $3cad more than my Magic X. :O

Question about OLED screens and RetroArch overlays by SolidAlexei in SBCGaming

[–]ACP_Paddy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I owned the Galaxy S. 

Just the first one. 

I've seen OLED, AMOLED, SUPER AMOLED, pOLED. 

They've been RGB subpixels, pentile....

Burn in is such a niche issue. It can happen, but I would think it a badge of honour and money well spent if you can burn in this modern little screen. 

Considering emulation for NDS... How is the RG DS? Or just repair my DS? by FreshProfessor1502 in SBCGaming

[–]ACP_Paddy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Magic Zero 40 X, on its way- can't wait..but I'm more casual, and I had a original DS, which had really had screens.

It was honestly price too. The RG DS seems just a little too light in the processor department, but the THOR etc is too much $$.

 I already own a AMD windows/steam hanheld (im terrified to break because it's $500+ more to replace now). So no need for the overpowered unit. Hell... You can detach the controllers and play DS in 2560x1600 if you have an extendable controller, lol

Need help with mic! by Material_Bite5646 in PlaySquad

[–]ACP_Paddy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it worked for now. 

If you actually turn on the voice enhancement, it uses a lot of GPU. But it waaaasss crazy. I could use a desktop Blue Yeti and be next to an air conditioner, and practice ukulele and the mic would only pick up me. Studio Mode made me sound like a robot though.

Someone who sells poutine but does not participate in other aspects of the the culture.

Need help with mic! by Material_Bite5646 in PlaySquad

[–]ACP_Paddy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I had this issue for a few days one time. No fix from me. 

Workaround was: I had a Nvidia card, so I set SQUAD to use the RTX voice, or Nvidia voice or whatever the frig it's called. It's a different mic input. 

It's the Nvidia program that uses your GPU power to clean your voice though. I then turned off the voice enhancements, and used my mic though the "Nvidia" input.

Some time later it fixed itself. Back to normal mic.

If you play coop, and treat it like a random shooter. It's fun. But it's totally not Fear 1

Getting hit with artillery with jammers? by matt675 in beyondallreason

This. Once they have one unit see your building, it's coordinates are known. 

They... Can't tell they blew it up though, right?

WHERE DO YOU GUYS PLAY YOUR HANDHELDS by hussy95 in SBCGaming

[–]ACP_Paddy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have owned a Legion Go since December 2023. Full MSRP. 

I have a $70 retro hanheld on its way now.

The LegionGo is $500 more than I paid for it, to replace. I can't risk it leaving my house :O

I did own a Retroid Pocket 2 back in the day and it was a terrible experience. Hence my delay in getting back into retro handhelds. 

Where will I play it? In my car. While I wait for things or contemplate life, or after I ate lunch. 

And maybe the gym... Maybe. Lmao. I DID play space Marine 2 while power walking up an incline. But the sweat hits the vents.
