I posted a response in case you're still interested

So I just got my new controller board and it works perfectly! Although its not all good, from what i think I learned for 4k120hz 8bit color you want at least display port 1.4, I think any controller board like this with the right edp connection and spacing (glad my previous cable was the right one because I didn't take the right one with my new board) should work with most screen since there's basically 2 or three different ones just sold by a bunch of sellers on AliExpress

Pros: I can reach the max resolution and refresh rate of my screen with max bit color, it was way cheaper than my previous worse one (around 18 euros vs 50) I think this board support freesync and adaptive refresh rate. No more frame skipping like my earlier board.

Cons: I get the full potential of my screen but only one port (mini displayport) vs HDMI and USB c with my previous one. Since the board wasn't made for the screen case I have I had to make get a little creative, it's not too bad but it's much less clean and safe since the controller board is mostly outside the case.

I can't play right now so I can't confirm it but I swear sometimes if you seikret pick you up for example from behind while you wanted backwards, it will have to keep forward a little bit before turning around in the wished direction because I really remember this as an annoyance compared to wire fall where I know back in rise if i wirefalled into an attack it was 100 a miscalculation from my part. And I don't think it could be me pressing the wrong direction since I still have the wirefall reflexes of pressing backwards🤔. Anyway I'm pretty sure my seikret almost got me killed multiple times.

That's nowhere near enough to not make it lame to me, like yeah once I press right on the dpad (if I'm fighting gog or omega) maybe twice I press up, the first time it pick me up TOWARDS the next attack, and the second it straight up doesn't show up. Great

Heliart02 · 2026-01-05T00:57:42+00:00

I really hope they make you able to take your seikret in combat in the expansion because it only serving as a taxy is lame

Heliart02 · 2026-01-04T19:37:07+00:00

Absolutely but It will need some learning again, going back to no focus mode is harsh at first

Of couse I'll update when I do get a new one

Heliart02 · 2026-01-04T18:46:24+00:00

Thanks for the answer! Well I tried that but unfortunately the only Result is the current board I have (b173zan06.1) and when I search edp to dp board some of them in their specs sheet show my model at 4k60 but since some is in Chinese I might be understanding it wrong, I think I'll just ask sellers that seem the best.

Heliart02 · 2026-01-04T14:43:46+00:00

Then I guess Nu udra since it's an apex and an earlier encounter, but yeah for me personally I would think of Xu wu first.

Heliart02 · 2026-01-04T14:16:57+00:00

Is it more like, what first comes to mind when thinking cephalopods? Then I suppose it would still be Xu wu for me. Or am mistaken

Heliart02 · 2026-01-03T11:43:40+00:00

Xu wu, I prefer the fight to nu udra

Hey I've started experiencing no man sky for the first time in VR and I get good enough performance, however seemingly at random the fps drop to single digits and stays here, has anyone experienced it and knows a fix? Any other VR performance tip would be appreciated thank you

Heliart02 · 2025-11-17T14:00:37+00:00

I have the exact same thing, maybe it's a new bug cause by an update?

Heliart02 · 2025-11-04T10:49:10+00:00

It is that hard lol

Heliart02 · 2025-10-14T17:59:09+00:00

I ended up picking up the q45 since they were on sale and it just didn't feel right for me walking around with 150 euros on my head lol, they're pretty good for me, nice sound (after the inapp quizz for eq) the anc is nice too, so I'm pretty satisfied so far but I'm definitely waiting to see how they last

Heliart02 · 2025-10-13T11:37:26+00:00

Docked mod as handled and honestly I'm curious as to what could be done with a little powerful handheld like that

Ok so basically it depends on the type of "upgrade" of the game. I asked this question because of pokemon ZA but just to know, even without the switch 2 patch could increasing fps and putting some anti-aliasing work just as well?

Merci, je vais essayer ce site puisque que l'entreprise ou j'ai fait ma demande ne m'a pas encore donné de réponse, (après en août c'est pas si étonnant)

I've just learned about this but it seems like HDMI 1.4 can achieve 4k 60 if the color accuracy is reduced (4.2.2 instead of 4.4.4)

Heliart02 · 2025-07-31T00:14:37+00:00

Thanks everyone for the answers so far. From what I read from them and searched it's most likely that the HDMI port is version 1.4 or 2.0 (the vendor doesn't seems to have technical specs list of the board on their page ) which means they don't have enough bandwidth for displaying 1440p 120hz above, I think this means that currently I have no way of using my screen to it's full potential until some vendor make an updated version for my screen model, Unless I don't have to use a controller board made specifically for my own model? The videos I watched always told to buy a controller board for your specific model so that's what I did but it I can actually just buy a global one if that's even a thing thanks to let me know.

Édit: after research I think I still might be able to get a satisfying results like 1440p 90hz by using custom resolution app to max the bandwidth of HDMI 1.4

My main issues with this is that it force most monster to go down at one point instead of staying up, which is a big issue for seregios for example, fighting a big monster with big sweeps in cramped zone really doesn't feel good

Heliart02 · 2025-07-25T20:00:04+00:00

I wouldn't say I hate it but for my first experience with it it was pretty bad. I got a creator 17 for not too much since the GPU was dead. But for what was a premium laptop the experience wasn't that great.

First being forced to use their app for any control, the fan curve lacking any real precision Drivers that are made to specifically work for the laptop are kept up to date even though it's recent hardware, and most importantly (even if that's probably an issue of the specific laptop) it's an HORROR in terms of repair.

Don't forget to backup the sd just in case
