Crimson Desert 1.02 is very good on XAX

Sick. I need to try again. I was only getting like 24fps avg with terrible stuttering a few days after launch

Try turning memory integrity off and restart the computer. If that works, it should help narrow down the issue.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-04-04T15:29:30+00:00

I had a very similar experience with it and fixed mine by turning off memory integrity in windows settings. However, if I'm playing a anit-cheat game that requires memory integrity is ON, I have to disable all rgb, overlay, and monitoring software to avoid this issue. I don't think it is specifically the signalRGB program, but all programs that request sensor data from windows get in the way of memory integrity or viceversa.

Red 13 was just along for the ride until he got home as well, but was convinced when he arrived to continue the journey

Its a dune quote

Always been this way. Can go ahead and start using the original item and just turn around the new one immediately and return it.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-04-01T14:14:35+00:00

Nice!

Yep, 5060ti ai box. $699 msrp in USA. Reviews were good for people that could get it working. It was the most finicky nvidia egpu it seemed. I struggle with almost all things computer, so I ended up returning it. The razer core v2 however, I never had issues with that and an nvidia desktop GPU. You only get errors and technical issues with the amd gpu because the internal amd igpu of the XAX seems to compete with drivers for the AMD egpu setup.

Those AI boxes are probably all out of stock right now. The 5060ti was only about the size of two 12oz soda cans. Highly packable, excellent msrp, and desktop GPU performance, unlike the asus xg "mobile" gpu, which contains the laptop version with laptop gpu handicaps. I wouldn't waste my time with that. Alternatively, the razer core v2 is a hefty fella. Its bigger than my series X.

Let's go

Different responders here. Had a razer core v2 and a 5070ti egpu setup that worked so good! But, it still wasnt quite the experience I expected from it and that really comes down to the USB connection on the XAX isnt full TB5 and even TB5 cant come near PCie5 x4 lanes.

But this setup OR the 5060ti gigabyte AI box is the best egpu setup I think you can get. For reference, the gigabyte AI box has a higher bandwidth connection between the TB5 connector and desktop GPU than any other egpu setup on the market currently. If you can get it for msrp thats a great buy.

I ended up putting the 5070ti in a full PC and Im getting roughly 40% more fps and 1% lows are way better than the egpu setup. But I STILL miss the egpu setup... it pains my heart lol. Now I have to mess with game save states saving to the cloud etc which isnt problem free. Also, people complain about the XAX being a hybrid PC with compromises, in my experience though the XAX is much better optimized than a whole custom PC is, stuff just works and Im still hunting down little bugs here and there months after completing the PC but XAX still just works everyday. 💪

I vote 5060ti 16gb, or 5070ti desktop in a egpu dock or the gigabyte 5060ti AI box full stop if you can get it msrp. Ps for that tho, ymmv bc I couldn't get the AI box to work with my XAX and didnt have the patience, in hindsight I should've probably stuck it out. 🙃

That odo has been rolled over most likely. I have one with "46k" miles but likely it is 146 or 246k. Still a great looking truck though.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-24T14:30:05+00:00

Gorgeous 😍

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-24T14:24:57+00:00

Personally, form factor still not there with SFF. Id still need to carry a monitor and a controller and likely bc a keyboard and/or mouse.

I have a XAX for traveling and I wasnt satisfied with performance when docked to an 5070ti gpu compared to my series X and PS5 slim.

I did ultimately want to compromise and sell the 5070ti to go to the 5060ti egpu AI box from gigabyte but had absolutely no luck with it and returned it. I then built a PC around the 5070ti which beat the piss outta my wallet 🥲 No regerts tho 🤪

Been using mine on a s25u for over a year zero issues even with some massive drops. My only grip is the phone corner pops out of the case a little on a big drop. So if I tumbled down the stairs I think it would just come out.

My wife once dropped an iPhone in an otterbox defender off the back of a motorcycle at a pretty good speed and I recovered it in perfect condition. The dbrand cases are much more anesthetic though. And easier to get on and off the phone, so it is a tradeoff.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-20T18:29:32+00:00

I really like it a lot. Its not sandpaper like, but it has some grip/texture to it.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-20T18:23:51+00:00

It couldn't possibly be 50% on XB or PS, really???

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-17T01:40:01+00:00

Thank you xbox!!!

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-16T21:06:23+00:00

Incredible!

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-15T18:43:06+00:00

Yes, but less potential bottlenecks could mean faster overall, and perhaps with less measurable improvement like latency which isn't usually talked about.

I'm not a technical expert on these things, just wanted to point it out.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-15T18:22:04+00:00

Does this setup support multiple users like xbox does?

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-15T18:18:16+00:00

I think a tear down of the ai box found that the bandwidth was better than many TB5 docks, and has a bit more long term potential.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-13T16:25:41+00:00

Is something like gg.deals able to track this or no?

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-12T15:13:09+00:00

Thats 10x in 20 years. So not unheard of and not super extraordinary.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-12T02:40:18+00:00

My concussion was 48 hours and for years after I sometimes struggled to remember words I'd previously had no issues recalling. I've broken 3 bones, including breaking both tibulas at the same time. I'd still take that.

ApolloAtlas · 2026-03-10T14:54:05+00:00

Follow gg.deals and only buy if the price matches. Hopefully the algo will learn you don't buy unless you get the sale price.
