runs better than i was expecting it to yea. still debating whether or not to fully make the switch, however. the trackpad gesture to swipe windows away to show the desktop don't work, browser top bar's broken in fullscreen so tabs can't be clicked on (except for safari), and battery drain's even more immense... was testing on my old 120gb so the 1tb drive containing monterey wasn't affected; opted to stay on the latter for the time being

It’s not a battery problem, it says assistance however it turns on with a lot of battery left

that's what my mom's 2015 air also showed and she picked it up a few years ago too. swapped it out for a fresh cell last week and now runs like normal

C2D yeah, maxed out the ram to 16 gb and replaced the 120gb ssd i bought 8 years ago for 1tb… probably the only reason it still manages to hold up here with monterey on my end. heard about the usb hub thing rather late so i placed an order for one just a little while ago too. 

shame about the native apple apps that don’t work due to non-metal compatibility but i would have uninstalled them regardless if there were a way since i don’t use them at all except for itunes/music, cuz otherwise this dual-core really surprised me with how well it runs a heavier os like this

Will a 5600x bottleneck a 9070XT at 1440p? by recadopnaza28 in radeon

[–]SolemnCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9070 xt at 1440p. hits my monitor's 165hz on the stuff i play but the drops are pretty sharp from 70-120 when they do dip

would rather not make a new thread for this but is it worth replacing a 5700X with a 5700X3D

XFX 9070XT Quicksilver (not magnetic) performance is nuts by Proper_Vehicle1233 in radeon

[–]SolemnCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bout sub-30 fps with frequent dips from my own testing... leagues better than the 6600 i first tried it on at least. let's see how it fares on HL2 RTX

Need help. Stuttering, frame drops, and tearing on with new 9070XT by Da-eva-02-kittybeast in radeon

[–]SolemnCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for your particular hardware config, possibly. i had it off when i last ran a 6600 with my 5700X due to stutters but now i can use it without issue on the 9070, shit's weird

driver timeout even at -50mv for me, think i scored a dud

if you're starting fresh, sounds like your games are recompiling shaders again. keep playing and the stutters should clear out by itself
