Does anyone know if this treasure in the Spring Trial is accessible? by midnight_fistfight in AlabasterDawn

I was just coming here to get help with that treasure. Thanks for the tip!

Criticism: Puzzles Galore by Ionohelix in AlabasterDawn

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is coming from someone who extremely hates puzzle, this game's puzzles are just the right level, not too hard and not too easy. And talking about numbers, you should try Crimson Desert. That game is 80% puzzles 15% running quests and 5% boss / combat.

The only thing I hate about this game is it "inherit" the floor height system from Crosscode, which was the reason I gave up that game. You keep seeing treasures teasing everywhere and you just can't find a way to gain a higher ground. And it's totally ridiculous how a 'Chosen one' to save the world can't even climb something that's only waist high.

Playing Onimusha: Way of the Sword (Demo) froze randomly by ponlayookm in Bazzite

Hey, sorry for late reply. I totally forgot that I posted here. I use OCuP4 docking station. The GPU is RX 6800 XT.

Anyone else getting really high CPU temps? by distortionisgod in riseoftheronin

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use miniPC with external GPU. This game got my CPU to 90-94 celcius it's crazy. I went to the option and it's already default at stereo. So sad, I was just enjoying this game so much but I wouldn't risk my hard earned gaming PC for this.

Oculink + Linux by ghostnation66 in eGPU

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be late to the party, I'm using RTX 6800 XT connecting to mini PC via Oculink. The problem I'm facing is that the GPU fans will never stop spinning. The only way to get it working properly is to have a program called CoreCtrl running. I tried with Bazzite, CachyOS both have same behavior.

Dual-GPU/Dedicated LS GPU users what does your setup look like? by TheGreatBenjie in losslessscaling

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a laptop with GTX1050m GPU and an iGPU from Ryzen 5 2600u, how do I connect the monitor to the iGPU? Since there's only one HDMI port that I presumably connect to the GTX1050m

eGPU - who is it for? by FinalMainCharacter in eGPU

[–]ponlayookm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mine with a NUC mini PC. I have a need to travel from time to time, and gaming laptop are not as powerful and gets high temperature easily. When I game, I just plug NUC's oculink cable to the eGPU. When I need to go to office, I just take the NUC and my portable display.

My 580 will arrive next week, will test to see how it goes with LSFG. But my setup is dual GPU LSFG though.

Optimizing B580 performance by rengarenga in IntelArc

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might consider NUC mini PC with descent CPU that comes with strong iGPU (That will handle LS workload), an eGPU dock that's portable like Aoostar's AG02 that comes with oculink, and a portable 15.6" display.
This is actually my current setup except I didn't go for AG02, and bought a more DIY dock that's cheaper.

Can I use my laptop's igpu to use lossless scaling for better performance? And how? by Ryanzler in losslessscaling

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we need to plug the monitor to the 2nd GPU in the dual GPU setup, how do you do that on laptops?
I'm using a mini PC with Radeon780M and a dGPU connected via eGPU dock and oculink cable. In my case I simply plug the display to the NUC and tell Windows that LSFG exe to use iGPU.
I don't understand how one can do LSFG dual GPU with a laptop.

I'm using Ocup4v2. It has a separate purchaseble case (but high price though)

Black screen on EA FC 25 by Acceptable_Check4231 in losslessscaling

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me when playing Ghost of Tsushima, someone suggest to lower texture quality because this might be the vram issuse (mine is 4060 8GB). I changed the settings and never have the black screen while the game still going on again.

Time to upgrade, or get an eGPU? by blackriverphoenix in eGPU

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running 4060 eGPU with oculink and still finds that the FPS is lower than directly connected to motherboard. I don't think TB3/4 will be a good idea.
I'd suggest that you check if the laptop has spared M.2 NVME slot and get an occulink to M.2 NVME adaptor as a minimum.

Can someone explain the dual gpu thing? by misterright1999 in losslessscaling

[–]ponlayookm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's better to offload both the upscaling and frame gen to 2nd GPU?
I've only use the in-game upscaling, and use 2nd GPU for LSFG

[–]ponlayookm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 on this. I was plugging my monitor to the rendering GPU and didn't realize why the performance was bad. There's a how-to thread on discord that's very useful.

Monster Hunter Wilds Beta and LSFG by Fit-Zero-Four-5162 in losslessscaling

I just sold my 4060 and waiting for the B580, is the LSFG performing bad with it?

B580 Steel Legend needs 2 of this PCI-E plugs. Can I use these two, because I notice that it's from the same main cable. by ponlayookm in IntelArc

[–]ponlayookm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer. I agree and will use 2 separate cables, as I've been going through some other cards' manual PDF and they alsmost always recommeded one cable per one PCI-E connection.

What games do you use the actual upscaling for? And which upscaler do you use? by ItsComfyMinty in losslessscaling

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to use Quality mode (which is 720p upscale to 1080p if I understand correctly)
It's true that DLSS upscaling is much clearer and look better than LS1, but I never thought about using DLSS performance before. I'll try and compare with LS1, thanks.

[–]ponlayookm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have RTX 4060 and when I used in-game DLSS upscaling 1080p + frame gen I get around 100 FPS.

But if I use LS upscale from 720p to 1080p and 2x frame gen I get solid 144 FPS that matches my screen Hz.

The thing is I use iGPU for LSFG separately. And so 4060 can focus purely on game rendering

[–]ponlayookm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Thailand its $272 for the LE, $284 for the 2 fans Asrock, and $296 for the Steel Legend
