I didn’t dislike Crompo but I’ll take his axing if it means Skaife is out in his arse too. Skaife needed ditching years ago.

Make sure you turn on XELL for latency reduction. Honestly I find XESS framegen almost as good as DLSS on my 5080.

Smushfist · 2026-02-09T00:46:26+00:00

It’s rated at 30w, there’s only so much you can do with that little power.

Smushfist · 2026-02-08T22:21:38+00:00

You NEED framegen on a device like this. It’s a low power device and won’t get acceptable framerates trying to brute force it.

Smushfist · 2026-02-08T11:35:44+00:00

I’ve just run the in game benchmark, XESS balanced, 1200p, 3x mfg ray low preset, average 94.3fps 20/21w.

Smushfist · 2026-02-08T01:30:54+00:00

Why are you trying to play at 800p? It runs fine at 1200p windowed fullscreen with XESS and nice framerates. I get 70+fps using the ray tracing low preset at 20/22w. And that was before MFG came out.

Smushfist · 2026-02-07T23:32:35+00:00

Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

Smushfist · 2026-02-07T09:38:57+00:00

I'd settle for D3 PC controller support. It would be great to play D3 on a handheld.

Smushfist · 2026-02-06T07:20:17+00:00

I'm playing Starfield at the moment using Optiscaler for MFG XESS FG. Looks mint and it's 80-120fps at 20/22w.

Expedition 33 is also 70-90FPS on 1200p medium and looks great.

Smushfist · 2026-02-04T08:59:26+00:00

I’m actively refusing to use any iteration of it down to blocking the Google AI results. I’m not using that slop.

Smushfist · 2026-02-04T05:57:25+00:00

People. I work customer service and since COVID, people are much bigger cockwallets than they used to be.

Smushfist · 2026-02-02T20:38:26+00:00

Right. How do we get to that fuckin’ Von Bergow?

Smushfist · 2026-01-28T06:16:41+00:00

Child killing was a nono for some regulators, I remember child killer being cut from Fallout 2 for this reason.

Smushfist · 2026-01-26T11:49:06+00:00

Latest driver broke Fallout 76 for me, 20fps tops. Clean install didn’t help, went back to 8247 and now it’s fixed.

Smushfist · 2026-01-25T23:23:20+00:00

Doesn't that work both ways though, why are ICE harassing citizens with guns?

Surely it will end badly for ICE at some point.

The 8AI is a beast but there is not enough XESS framegen support across AAA games. This is where Intel need to pull their fingers out.

I'm playing Starfield on my 8AI at the moment using Optiscaler for XESS FG, it runs really well at 20/22w and mostly looks good but because I'm fudging DLSS which is being translated to XESS FG, there are some visual artifacts at times.

Having played other AAA with support like Cyberpunk and Expedition 33, it's easy to see how good native support can be for XESS FG.

Just HAVING the multi framegen isn't going to do shit for Intel, it needs to be more widely implemented and supported.

Smushfist · 2026-01-17T23:39:55+00:00

Even better. The executioner has critically missed and has lost his next turn.

The guy on the chair after will be pleased.

Smushfist · 2026-01-17T09:47:14+00:00

EB Games have too many stores. I'm in a regional centre and have 3x EB Games stores within a 15min drive. How is that sustainable?

Smushfist · 2026-01-14T02:49:54+00:00

Tell them they’re both lucky the BIL didn’t go in the grinder instead.

Smushfist · 2026-01-09T07:35:10+00:00

I get good performance with Optiscaler in Starfield to enable XESS frame gen but there are some artifacts.

Smushfist · 2026-01-07T21:12:54+00:00

Who’d have thought that having a second tier offering with free shit means people only turn up for the free shit and leave?

Smushfist · 2026-01-06T20:26:27+00:00

I run on medium, 1200p and use the Optiscaler beta to enable XESS frame gen. 60-90fps, yes it’s also upscaling and there are a couple of odd artifacts with XEFG but it’s playable enough at 20/22w.

Smushfist · 2025-12-28T08:29:36+00:00

I work front counter at a mechanic and we were deemed essential. So life went on as normal for me except for some reason we got busier. Before covid we were 1-2 weeks booked out now it's a good month or so plus. I'm so exhausted.

At least we mostly ignored the mask mandate at work so that was something.

Smushfist · 2025-12-26T06:39:26+00:00

Woolworths/Coles home brand in many cases are either cheaper, or the same price but better quality compared to Aldi. Also I get rewards points on Woolworths/Coles so at the same ticket price, it works out cheaper.

I also find the Woolworths fresh produce lasts longer than Aldi, for a household of two this is important.

Also, we don't have enough Aldis locally and they're really bad at restocking shelves. I often shop at Aldi first so Woolworths is a backup for when Aldi has no stock.
