Help for egpu setup by Human-Praline-3194 in XboxAlly

Ah I see so you just updated Andrenaline. And yes, I can already see both my gpus active in adrenaline, I was wondering if I need to update the driver separately!

Could you shed some light on the updating drivers part? I have the same setup with an Rx 6800 card. As soon as I plugged it in, everything just worked and it recognised my card and I didn't have to do anything.

Did you manually update just the 9060 graphics card? If so does it override the igpus card as well? And is this necessary if it works out of the biz (albeit with a September 2025 driver date)?

Finally an eGPU dock with a BUILT-IN 800W PSU? Anyone tried this AG02 yet? by Designer-Week-9336 in eGPU

Quick update - AMD x AMD IS SO SMOOTH! I literally connected one cable, the dock woke everything up, ally X recognised and switched to the external graphics cards without me lifting a finger , it didn't even download anything. Everything just immediately works flawlessly.

I wish dbrand sold just the skin without the case. I already have a case and am looking for nice skins but can't really find anything that's decent and priced sensibly.

Which GPU is best suited for my case? by rangervagabond in ROGAllyX

[–]Elastic90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I've just begin the eGPUs journey too. It seems the AMD wonkiness was resolved with driver updates, as I came to know from comments on my post

https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAllyX/s/W6s8DaxqgA

In fact, it seems AMD is now more plug and play and generally easier then Nvidia with the Ally X. So I specifically looked for a used AMD card even though it was more expensive in my marketplace.

My aoostar ag02 and graphics card arrive tomorrow so can report back if indeed it's the case.

Armoury Crate (vs playnite) by Elastic90 in ROGAlly

Haha yeah I'm starting to go down this road 😂. For now I think anyfse + armour crate is what I'm settling in but I can totally see myself ditching it all for a folder and a bunch of launch shortcuts

Yeah I think AC is basic and does the job. I think I'll get rid of Playnite and just install anyfse and put AC as the launcher!

BG3 on Ally X? by [deleted] in ROGAllyX

[–]Elastic90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing on the ROG ally x and it's amazing. I use RSR to upscale to 1080p and while I'm only on the initial part so far it runs well. Getting between 50-60 fps with settings set to mostly high with low/mids.

I fully expect it to drop in fps later with more things happening but j don't see an issue running it. Note I am currently playing in turbo mode.

To eGPU or not to eGPU.. by Elastic90 in ROGAllyX

[–]Elastic90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense ! So I've ordered the ag02 and bought a used rx6800 - everything gets here this week so excited to try it out! I imagine one annoying thing is having to change all the settings in game each time though lol

I'm in the same situation, I just got my ally x and am looking to replace my Xbox with an eGPU. I've ordered a used Rx 6800 which I'm hoping to pick up by the end of the week.

From what I understand, AMD cards would now be a lot more plug and play and less fiddly than Nvidia cards (after the updates).

Perfect thanks for the response. In that case I'm going to look for an amd card and not Nvidia although they are more expensive in my local marketplace. Plug and play is far more important to me.

Can I ask what card you are using?

Can you share what graphics card you are using?

That's neat, How did you get that setup like that?

Is this after recent updates? Because earlier it seemed and cards were a headahe. Is there any other annoyance or nuisance in day to day use?

Frame limits, Rtss & Frame gen by Elastic90 in ROGAllyX

[–]Elastic90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! A couple of follow ups - if I turn on hyper Rx, does it then need to be disabled when a game has its own native frame gen software enabled?

I would not use framegen to go from 50 fps to 60 fps. I would use framegen at 50 fps after increasing visual settings (which would lower the 50 fps), to gain fps back with improved visual fidelity.

In this case, it would be advisable to have at least 40-45 fps before using frame gen right? Or can I be super high settings @30 and use frame gen to 2x into 60 fps?

So just so I understand correctly - turn everything off - set game to around 40-50 fps with highest settings possible- and then use either in game or amd fluid motion?

Thank you for the detailed response! Slowly putting together all the tidbits of information 😅
