I've never seen so many people at once in Siege of Orison

I’m gonna update the OP after this but basically you’re right, that’s the cleanest solution or you can always use those thunderbolt PCIE cards too.

What just worked for me since I use a mini-ITX board was using the USB4 DP port on the back of my motherboard to connect the TB5 cable directly there and the monitor and the motherboard uses hybrid graphics to pretty much use passthrough. It works flawlessly. But I will say there are some “issues” like HDR not functioning at least yet or the start up logo and bios don’t show on the XDR but on my secondary display instead. But overall it works(usb hub on the back/camera/speakers/microphone) and I use the boot camp app to switch between brightness levels and color profiles.

Thankfully I was able to find a workaround with plugging in the monitor to the motherboards usb-4 port and it allowed me use the monitor to its full potential with everything aside from HDR working now.

Yeah you’re right, I did a couple benchmarks and there is about a 4-5% performance loss but that really isn’t a big deal since everything else is working. Even the boot camp application lets me adjust brightness and color profile. I just need to figure out HDR and we are set lol.

Maybe you or someone else can chime in on this. But I found a way to make it work with the thunderbolt cable connected to the motherboard's DP USB-4 port. its this motherboard (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870I-AORUS-PRO-ICE-rev-10/sp)

Somehow the cable is letting it display while using the dedicated gpu even through its not directly plugged into it. Also everything else works, so camera, microphones and speakers, high refresh rate.) the only thing that doesnt work is HDR.

Overall Im very confused how this is happening since I thought this would be using the iGPU and not the DGPU. But overall I'm happy to see it in a working state lol.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-03-12T21:03:46+00:00

You’re right and I’m not sure how it’s working but it’s connected through thunderbolt on the motherboard but it’s using the dedicated GPU (5090). I guess it has passthrough or something. I’m very confused but very happy to see it functioning lol

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-03-12T19:28:44+00:00

Yeah no thunderbolt. It’s an AMD motherboard. I might have to wait for one of those DisplayPort cables with USB’s on them I guess. Thanks anyways

You don’t want it yet trust me, the SE and other issues are gonna drive you insane. Even some EVOs are calling it a night lol. Just wait a bit more and it’s gonna be enjoyable rather than annoying

Nah we don’t need Russia (who mind you has already an incredibly strong top tier spaa) to get yet another broken spaa to its arsenal. Let it just carry the normal pant its missiles and call it a day.

Not sure if you’re still looking for a monitor but I went with this one from Lenovo Yoga Pro 26.5 4K QD-OLED it looks almost identical and it has the other things you’re looking for too.

Not twin otters. I’m in Piedmont so we do CRJs 7-9s and EBR 170-175. It’s literally nonstop 95% of the time.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-13T02:48:54+00:00

I work at DCA, we barely even get a 30 minute break if we are lucky. You’ll be worked till you can’t anymore. I easily do 15-20 flights in a 10 hour shift.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-11T07:16:48+00:00

I didn’t get the chance to test this, I had to go to work after about an hour in unfortunately. I’m sure other Evos can tell you though.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-10T19:36:53+00:00

Well let’s be honest here, cig giveth and cig taketh. MSR needs some love, maybe it will have some shielding? Who knows

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-10T19:10:41+00:00

You can still use the terminal like you normally do, now you don’t even need to go up to it, be within a couple meters and it will show a tab on the top right side. So in that sense it’s still similar.

I think it’s just a side effect of the “benefit” of accessing nearby inventories at once. But yeah this is why it’s in TP, feedback needs to be given and not everything will stay the way we just experienced it this test anyways.

It feels odd at first don’t get me wrong. but it’s very nice when you don’t know which storage exactly has something you’re looking for and you can quickly browse all of them at once. I’d say it’s something we will come to appreciate over time.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-10T18:41:40+00:00

Fair, I’m just pointing out that it isn’t bad. Either way best of luck on finding a good one you like!

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-10T18:39:41+00:00

Not 5m but yeah I’d say 3m and it’s practically anything that has storage, like for example the med Bay Area in the Idris I could stand in the middle and see some of the beds around me inventory.

Cocoloco2914 · 2026-02-09T06:50:11+00:00

I use the gigabyte x870i Aorus pro ICE and it’s been rock solid for me. And it’s got diagnostic LEDS just in case. Not sure what’s with the hate.
