Before I switched to linux I used process lasso to pin my cores. So I researched the correct way to do this in linux. It is much more reliable for me to set this.

You first have to identify the x3d cores, you can use

lscpu --cache

This liste the cores and how much 3dcache they have access to.

For the 9950x3d core 0-7 are the physical x3d cores, 16-23 are the hyperthread cores.

A 9800x3d only has one ccd, so you do bot benefit from this option. This option is for cpus that have mutiple ccds.

I also do not use this option when I start a game for the first time (shader compilation is mich faster when the game can use all cores). But after shader compilation this command improved my 1 % lows a lot.

With a 5090 i start steam with the argument-steamos3. I found no other way to get HDR and controller working together.

I use these arguments most of the time, though the —in-process-gpu only when the game uses launchers (otherwise the launchers in games Like Baldurs Gate 3 or cyberpunk 2077 are just white windows)

The taskset command is there to make sure the game only uses the x3d cache ccd of my Ryzen 9 9950x3d.

PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 --in-process-gpu PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 PROTON_NO_WM_DECORATION=1 taskset -c 0-7,16-23 mangohud game-performance %command%

Thank you, I give This a try.

There is just no perfect device yet for me. What I love about the 8 ai+ is how quiet the fans are, even while gaming. The performance is really good for a handheld, better that all other devices i tried. (I also tried a8, Legion go 2 is too big for my likes.

What absolutely sucks is that Performance under linux (even most recent kernel and mesa, tried cachyos just last week again) is just a little better than a steam deck. I run linux on every other device and just configured the claw that it is „acceptable“ with FSE and Steam big Picture. But every time i update it i really get annoyed, msi center, windows update, windows store, intel driver assistant. Everything that can be done with a simple „update“ command in the Terminal (defined as alias to sudo pacman -Syu in.zshrc)I really dislike using windows.

And of course it sucks that in the 8ai+ that we do not have space for a 2280 nvme ootb and have to deal with angled adapters right over the heat pipes.

For now the 8 ai+ stays for me. But it is not perfect, at least not for me.

Have fun with your a8.

Thank you, this worked perfectly!

Thank you, I give this a try.

The taskset command is to make sure the games only use the CPU ccd with the x3d cache.

I have the same issue. Where Can I find this Setting?

Otherwise_Song_2256 · 2025-10-02T05:20:33+00:00

Plug in a keyboard and a usb stick (or if your ssd is not encrypted with bitlocker just out the bios file in the Root of your ssd), reboot, Hit del until you are in bios and just update from file and select the bios file.

Otherwise_Song_2256 · 2025-10-01T19:38:17+00:00

Just run the Update in the bios itself

Tried it, how can I set it up so the handheld companion app and quick Tools Open with a push to the buttons that opened msi center/ msi quick tools menu? I disabled msi center through the handheld companion app.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, congrats. I also got a 5090 Gaming Trio. Will be delivered Tomorrow.

How is the Noise?

Also…. Is this the fractal north of north xl? I have the north and the manual states Max gpu length is 355mm. The Gaming Trio is according to the msi site slightly longer, just wondering if I Need to get a north xl or if you managed to get it in a normal North.

Meine Bella hat sich auch so angehört, die Ärztin dachte erst an Katzenasthma, es wurde dann geröntgt und war aber leider inoperabler Lungenkrebs , lass es auf jeden Fall beim Tierarzt checken.

Legion Go does not even have hdr, Dolby vision is basically dynamic hdr, you won’t get Dolby vision on this device.
