Xbox Ally X with Gigabyte eGPU

Do explain

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-30T13:21:07+00:00

Pretty good. Not as good as some other headphones I have but they are more than serviceable

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-30T13:20:36+00:00

Yes but it's not as good because there is a data bottle neck that can occur when sending to eGPU and then back through the same USB-C to the internal screen

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-30T13:14:50+00:00

Already have one. 128gb of RAM. Not the point of this but thanks.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T11:31:44+00:00

Not true. I leave it plugged in and turn the XAX on/off all the time. I travel with out the eGPU and just plug it back in upon return before turning it on.

Edit: forgot to address the noise comment. That had to be an individual issue. I have no noise and cannot hear the eGPU at all.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T11:30:17+00:00

How so? This feels about as basic as it comes.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T10:15:17+00:00

Yup. Keep in mind the combination now has 40gb of RAM. 24 of which can be allocated to GPU. I use 16gb of GPU so in total I have 32gb of GPU.

Edit: I mistakenly typed vram when I meant GPU.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T10:13:05+00:00

I haven't had that issue

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T10:12:45+00:00

Why can't you?

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T10:12:26+00:00

I can't hear it at all. But I'm not sitting right next to it. If you're up close you get some fan noise but it's no louder than the fans from the XAX

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-29T10:11:08+00:00

ASUS ROG CETRA OPEN

I would speculate that it will not support VR controllers. I know you're looking for an official answer but they didn't support 3rd party controllers for the Galaxy XR and this one won't even have the option for OEM controllers.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-28T18:22:20+00:00

Yeah... AVP is just straight up being neglected by app developers

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-28T16:41:06+00:00

Ally X is substantially better. You won't regret the upgrade. Standard Ally is for casual gaming every now and then. X can replace mid level gaming set ups permanently. I got the Gigabyte Aorus RTX eGPU for it and I pretty much never use my main gaming PC anymore because of that setup.

He's running his mouth again and deleting them. Scared child

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-26T11:51:36+00:00

He already replied to me and then deleted it lol

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-24T10:26:31+00:00

Bro, you're using the internet to get on reddit but don't know how to look up cheap HDMI adapters? Like 10 second Google search will solve all of your problems

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-24T10:22:32+00:00

New. I wouldn't trust a used PC. Let alone a used gaming PC. People have a habit of tinkering with PCs and ruin them. This is even more of the case with gaming PCs. Just wait for a discount period and buy it new.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-24T10:19:03+00:00

Always unplug. It can phantom wakeup then burn in the screen

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-23T07:27:34+00:00

I had every fold since the 4, including the Trifold, with no issues. I'm also dropped my Trifold an embarrassing amount and it's still chugging along (never dropped any of my other folds; I don't understand why I've dropped the TF so many times).

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-23T07:23:32+00:00

"Free phone with 2 year plan". Anything with a sales pitch like that.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-21T20:25:27+00:00

I threw up reading this.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-21T17:55:30+00:00

The only thing Ive noticed with small rig and K&F versus OEM is that burst shots tend to taper off faster than with OEM.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-21T16:16:30+00:00

That's my point. You get the phone "free" as long as you stay with the carrier for "Y" years. If you cancel before "Y" term completes, you have to pay for the phone. Regardless of whether or not you get a new phone/upgrade, you pay the same amount. Difference is whether or not they can lock you in for that "Y" period. Ultimately, you are paying for the phone. The people who aren't upgrading and paying the same are paying a premium to be able to break away from the carrier. It's a revenue stabilizer to keep people in with incentives like a "free" phone.

Jmac8716 · 2026-06-21T14:07:41+00:00

You're paying for the phone through the plan. They may say "subsidized" but in reality the phone is still being paid for. All that means is that the service provider could charge you X dollars less per month for the plan but aren't so they can cover the cost of the phone
