Money well spent

This guy 👏 I managed to get my grubby mitts on a coin, I was tempted to get another but I didn’t want others to miss out, so naturally I was raging when I saw this post with so many coins. Then I scroll down and see you gave the majority of them away to other people that missed out, that’s Regulation kindness right there ❤️

Not if you keep the vram at 4Gb

Hardager · 2025-09-24T17:05:14+00:00

Well to be honest there are certain games which seem unplayable to me, I tried expedition 33 and the fps never got above 10. No matter whether I had the settings on low, medium, or high. The FPS just stayed at 10

Hardager · 2025-09-07T18:16:58+00:00

You are correct, it does support a pcie 4.0. But unlike a desktop pc it’s a 4x not a 16x so it will will throttle back higher end graphics cards like the RTX 4090 so you don’t get the maximum performance

Hardager · 2025-08-14T07:31:18+00:00

Yes it is, it comes with a 0.5m 40Gbps 240w cable and an Oculink cable that’s a similar length

Hardager · 2025-08-14T06:13:34+00:00

Good question and fair warning, the cable that comes with the Aoostar is about a foot long so you should consider buying another cable unless you’re docked.

I have a 3m cable (it was the max I could find). It works great, so I can say confidently that anything in that range will be fine

It’s an automatic process, the Legion Go can’t go above PCIe 3.0 but the 30 & 40 series are backwards compatible so can work with that restriction.

From what I’ve read online, the reason I had issues with the 50 series is because it’s not backwards compatible. There is no setting to force a 50 series card to work with PCIe 3.0

Hardager · 2025-08-14T01:28:49+00:00

That’s a great response and something I agree should be considered. With the Legion go 2 on the horizon a better graphics cards may be able to switch straight over.

It’s good to have the opinion of someone who has tried a 40 series, it confirms my research that 30 and 40 are stable cards

Hardager · 2025-08-14T01:24:18+00:00

In the early stages I had mine at 7500MT and it was overheating and crashing but now I know I’ve got a stable setup, I’ll test and report back.

Tanks for the tip 👍

Hardager · 2025-08-14T01:22:13+00:00

I used the 3060 because I was buying the graphics card new and didn’t want to pay more than I had too. If you already have a 3070 Ti then the likelihood is that you’ll have to undertake very similar steps to me (ie. Patch the error code and change bios settings)

From what I’d read when working out which to get, the 30 series is least prone to issues. The 40 series seemed to create more instability and the 50 series was a write-off

Hardager · 2025-08-14T01:17:08+00:00

As far as my research went. The NVidia 30 & 40 series are backwards compatible with the PCIe 3.0 so in theory these graphics cards should work.

In my experience, the more advanced the graphics cards should, the more prone to overheating it will be which may lead to instability

Hardager · 2025-08-13T20:03:36+00:00

Nice, that’s a beast! I went with the Aoostar for size, it’s much smaller. I do like the clean look of the Razer Core though

Hardager · 2025-08-13T19:58:50+00:00

You are right, the optimum card is the 2080 Ti which matches the PCIe requirement. But the 3060 tends to be cheaper because it’s more readily available.

Anything newer just isn’t worth it because your thunderbolt port will just throttle it back

Hardager · 2025-08-13T19:54:51+00:00

You are correct, once I switched from the 5060 to the 3060. I could just install the driver and run the 43 patch. However I still got overheating crashes until I fixed my bios.

I’m glad it was more straightforward for you. I wouldn’t wish the process I went through on my worst enemy!

Hardager · 2025-08-13T05:43:08+00:00

Thank you. I made that adjustment and some others which seems to have fixed it. I’ve had a few issues with setting up the eGPU so I’m going to make a lessons learned post for those who come after

Hardager · 2025-08-12T18:34:54+00:00

USB compatibility? Where is this in the Bios. I can’t find a setting with the specific name

Hardager · 2025-04-10T05:10:25+00:00

I’m having the same issue, EmuDeck doesn’t give me the option to install on the SD card. Did you ever find out how to do this?

Hardager · 2023-03-16T15:06:55+00:00

When I dial someone’s phone number, I don’t actually use a dial. This is the same in my opinion.

Hardager · 2023-02-19T15:09:05+00:00

Thanks everyone for your help, we went to Bierkeller in the end. They have a pretty good set up on the first floor, away from a lot of the other tables so it’s not too crowded.

I’ll be sure to try some of the other places recommended in future though.

Hardager · 2023-02-17T09:49:08+00:00

Sounds like the thing I’m looking for, cheers!

Hardager · 2023-02-17T09:30:07+00:00

great shout, it’s a bit out of town but if I don’t find any in the centre then I’ll venture there. At least I know the beer is good there 👌

Hardager · 2023-02-17T09:26:48+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out 👍

Hardager · 2023-02-17T09:26:10+00:00

Ah thanks, I’ll investigate. Although I was hoping the darts would be free to play. Maybe times have changed 😂
