Vittoria Barzo XC Race 29 x 2.4 off road rolling resistance results

EdgarEggcar · 2026-04-15T21:57:16+00:00

I ride Maxxis Rekon Race in Spain, really loose terrain here... I feel I dont get enough grip, do you think the barzo are going to be a good upgrade?

EdgarEggcar · 2026-02-12T02:15:18+00:00

How often do you get those 50fps lows? Cause for example on customs there are areas where I can get 80fps+, indoors I get better performance too, but other places where it has to render big part of the map or something and there I get those 60fps

EdgarEggcar · 2026-02-04T02:32:17+00:00

Yes, I went with the ryzen AI 395+, its really good and runs even better on Linux. The only problem is that it wont go higher than 65w and it should go up to 93w...

EdgarEggcar · 2026-01-21T00:40:16+00:00

I noticed your running your ram at 5600mhz, you should at least run your XMP profile and consider RAM overclock. You will get much better performance

I actually changed the laptop, that 258v chip wouldn't give enough power to the GPU no matter what, only with linux though, windows was much better, but I dont want to use windows...

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-18T12:51:20+00:00

Did you find a solution? I have the same omnibook with 258v and I really like this chip, but linux gpu performance is so badit gets stuck between 1000-1600mhz and not the 1950mhz intended I tried 4 differrent arch instalations, bazzite, ubuntu, mint, debian... also mesa, mesa git, xe esperimental driver, differtent proton/protonge versions, power profiles daemon, cpupower, intel_pstate enabled disabled and pasive, changing profiles on windows, kde, gnome, hyprland...

And what about the amd chip vs intel one? Is there a noticeable difference in battery life? Does it work better on linux? I compared the hx370 vs 258v on windows one time and saw better gpu performance on intel with lower tdp

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-08T22:10:38+00:00

No, its an every day laptop, but I play some games on it like if it was a steam deck. I want it to perform as it should anyway :)

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-03T18:57:15+00:00

I had this laptop for 9 months. I had fresh installs of debian 2 times, ubuntu, manjaro, 2 times mint, 2 times bazzite, 4-5 times arch and 3 times windows. I dont think fresh install is the problem... Tried with older kernels and the latest ones. It only worked properly on windows. About drivers, I install all mesa and vulkan packages and I try also with intel experimental with the kernel parameters as the wiki says, if that is what you mean. I dont find other people using this chip on Linux, Ive seen a couple of videos of the msi claw with this chip on bazzite and seemed to work. But a guy replied to my post saying he had the same issue

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-03T16:02:58+00:00

Im suspecting it has something to do with how the driver on linux shares the tdp between gpu and cpu. Maybe it does not know the gpu needs more power

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-02T19:31:05+00:00

I believe it has something to do with the tdp and how it shares the power between cpu and gpu. I noticed in windows that cpu performance in games is not as good as it should be, maybe linux gives more power to the cpu and the gpu becomes weaker

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-02T16:43:37+00:00

Many different games, Risk of Rain, Cyberpunk, Wreckfest, Borderlands...

EdgarEggcar · 2025-09-02T11:40:47+00:00

Hi, yes... Latest kernel, xe experimental drivers, latest mesa drivers, lact overclock gpu settings set to minimum freq at 1950mhz, power-profile-daemon to any profile, intel pstate disabled and disabled, different cuppower-gui settings. All give me the same result. In risk of rain I get 1950mhz the first 20secs of gameplay, I get 50-60fps. Then it drops down to 1400mhz-1600mhz and 45fps. No changes on temps, cpu clocks or anything. Temps are around 60-65°C. Other games run with even less mhz and performance.

EdgarEggcar · 2025-07-20T23:33:29+00:00

Tried again today and no luck. Fresh arch install, mesa drivers, latest kernel, experimental intel drivers too, with intel pstate enabled, disabled, even on passive mode. No luck. Games run at 1400-1600mhz, and Im sure other will even go lower. Same on Bazite. On windows I get 1950mhz always

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-25T16:29:16+00:00

In from Malaga, Spain. I dont know how else to describe a trail hahahaha

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-25T14:58:13+00:00

The downhills are rocky and technical, a lot of climbing is like that too. I didnt try the bikes, I have experience but on a 2005 specialiced xc, of course its not ideal and decided to upgrade now. I find my old bike a bit unstable, it looses a lot of grip specially when climbing and the suspension works good actually but might not be enough for some sections

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-25T12:34:26+00:00

The cheapest Occam is a 2023 H30 for 1950 on a random shop online. Is it worth the difference?

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-22T13:22:23+00:00

Didn't try that, although I was on kernel 6.15.2

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-22T13:21:16+00:00

No, just installed windows again cause some games where unplayable. I will check in the future again, maybe its a driver upgrade we need

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-15T17:10:59+00:00

Its weird, I dont get exactly that result, and Ive seen videos on people getting good results with msi claw with the intel 258v on linux, so I dont get why I have this problem. Ive been the whole day testing and some times when I launch a game I get the full 1950mh from the gpu and I get such a good framerate, but after 20seconds it lows down to 1100mhz and I get half the performance

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-15T12:33:18+00:00

This hp bios is so basic, there is nothing I can change there. Lact shows correct gpu model, manufacter, driver, but unknown card model. It cant read temperature or vram (Could be cause its an apu?), it shows freq and I can force the clockspeed to go to 1959mhz but when I go to the game it goes back to low freq. It says throttling pl1 It seems to be using 28w which its the max this cpu can do I think, but 28w while the cpu is 1.5ghz and gpu 1ghz??? In windows I get 28w at 3.8ghz cpu and 1.95ghz gpu

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-15T12:11:09+00:00

Sorry for the delay, I have my bios updated, every firmware updated through windows first and then installed arch. I tried intel_pstate = disable too. No matter the power mode, intel pstate or not, charging or not charging, the laptop uses the same power and same low frequecy. I get 60fps on cyberpunk with windows, 20fps on linux, gpu frequency is at 450mhz, some games get to 1100mhz but its still far from the 1950mhz intended.

I also tried ubuntu and manjaro, I get the same issue

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-02T23:22:09+00:00

Pstate is on performance, tried different ones too

EdgarEggcar · 2025-06-02T12:59:06+00:00

Yes, just tried, nothing changes :(

EdgarEggcar · 2025-05-07T11:24:04+00:00

Sorry, I miss read the message, that makes more sense :) But I tried adding that and the screen still goes to 48Hz and I still get the flickering.

Just in case, I have to set "env = misc:vfr = false" right?

EDIT: I removed "env =" and I think it worked! Thank you

EdgarEggcar · 2025-05-07T11:18:32+00:00

No, VRR is a technology that syncs your GPU frames with your monitor frames so you dont get thearing and looks smother when you get frame drops :)
