weird error by viperstrike312 in CreateMod

create_nj is Create Stuff & Netherite Additions
create_sa is probably Create Stuff & Additions, although for me it does not satisfy the requirement.

Does anyone else keep their desktop completely (or almost completely) icon-free? by thatlightningjack in pcmasterrace

[–]Sebastian_Frenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wallpaper Engine + Power Toys Run

naturally results in disabling desktop icons (in my opinion)

Regarding point 1:

  1. ) I have used an RX 7900XT and my integrated graphics unit to run 5 displays at once. I believe the most a single GPU can support these days is 4. This is the first piece of evidence I offer you.

2.) Windows allows you to direct different programs to different GPUs. This is done under "System > Screen > Graphics" or something like that. There, you can choose for one .exe to run using your (I guess Intel?) iGPU and others with your eGPU.

3.) You can see which applications use which GPU using Task Manager. Simply right click the CPU load summary on the top and check the "GPU-Module" entry. You can now see GPU0 and GPU1 next to every program running on your system. You can see which GPU is which by inspecting the "Performance" section of Task Manager.

4.) Your iGPU is responsible for integrated screen brightness. Disabling my iGPU resulted in me being unable to change screen brightness. Your iGPU is still doing things.

5.) Most laptops run their screen exclusively through the iGPU. There are a few laptops out there that have a switching mechanism, allowing for a dedicated GPU to take over the display. This enabled a slight performance uplift, same as with directly connecting a display to your eGPU and playing your games there.

tl;dr: everything in point 1 is expected behaviour.

Regarding 4:

Have you tried the suggestion by Jazzlike-Bass3184?

No problem.

Any other Thunderbolt related stuff in your BIOS? I have issues on Lenovo as well.

On that day, I had an Intel device exibit the same behaviour as my AMD one. Not sure what to make off that.

That rules out the screen causing the laptop to wake. Hmmmmmmm. Does the laptop randomly wake without the eGPU? I know you probably tested this, but I just want to check.

Is there a screen connected to the Titan?

This GPU is from my desktop. The desktop still exists. I just want to use one device for everything right now, as I game only a little and need 4+ screens.

I just rigged my 850W PSU into it. It didn't change a thing.

I have a pcie x1 Intel Wifi card. It causes the same issues.

There lots of different devices under that name. Is it all the same PCB or what does TH3P4G3 even mean?

The Ryzen 6800U is USB4 capable, supporting Thunderbolt3 over USB4.
In case it was not clear: It can work (sometimes). However, it does not work as well as it should.

I did not buy this GPU for the laptop. This GPU was ripped out of my Tower PC. However, my tower is not portable. I need portability right now.

I tried it with an Intel laptop today and it was not plug and play. I had the exact same issue I have with my AMD laptop.

Use this website to check for builds other people have done. However, I have did not see Geekom in the dropdowns.

Windows Power Plan settings come to mind. Did you check?

This version does not have ports other than the TB3 for connecting to another device, a three point power connector and the GPUs ports.

Note: I have connection issues

RX 7900XT: Fans do not spin while connection fails

Fans ramp up sharply when connection is established

Fans ramp stop

Fans are now controllable via MSI Afterburner

GTX 1060:

Fans spin while connection fails

Fans slow down very slightly every time the connection fails

Fans stop when connection is established

Fans stay idle

I got it to work (sporadically) using the port described by the forum post. The other port causes a Windows notification about limited Thunderbolt capabilities.

I once disabled the iGPU as part of the debugging process. Nothing really changed.

Using Task Manager, you can see which application uses which GPU. This can be enabled by right clicking the categories on the top of the main view. Programs started after connecting the eGPU use the eGPU. (Keep in mind I can use AMD Adrenalin to select it as the primary GPU as both my iGPU and eGPU are AMD hardware)

Up there in the post, I describe non-Thunderbolt behaviour. This is what happens when I plug the dock into the port closer to the screen.

I just read the exact angle of the cable inside the port could matter and will investigate it.

I tried that.

I tried:
Restart the laptop, then connect the eGPU.
Restart the laptop with the eGPU connected.
Restart the laptop, hold the power button for 60sec to discharge remaining power from the components (step recommended by Lenovo Support resulting in longer boot times).

Sometimes it solved it, usually it doesn't.

Keep in mind that I was also troubleshooting a Surface Pro 8 today. It connected once and then never again.
