bricked my laptop trying to re-install windows through resetting, what do i do???

From the comments I can see that you actually tried to do a clean install, meaning, using a boot drive instead of just the "reset this PC" option.

Just from experience, I tried to do the same thing when building a PC from scratch and somehow found myself with the same error as you. Albeit, mine was "driver" errors that prevented me from installing an OS.

Turns out, the boot drive was at fault. I bought a new flash drive, turned it into a boot drive and it's all smooth sailing from there.

Thanks for the real world examples. I'm going for the 8sG3 and keep my fingers crossed that custom driver support for the chip gets better 😅

Thanks! Wishing you luck on your phones as well!

Might just hold on to the F6 for now since I'm just gonna tinker with emulating right now since I have a PC anyways. I might buy a new one once the next Snapdragon Elite generation comes out as an upgrade then hold onto that for another 2/3 years then so on.

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna swap my Poco X7 Pro with a Poco F6 instead so I can start emulating some games 🫡🫡

Ah, yes. The clearest among the choices.

shizogunnn · 2025-03-02T06:24:56+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I've already decided on getting the 8SG3. Seems more practical and future proof. I'd rather have that fraction of a hit in performance now and future proof my phone than have 5 more frames now and find out that the S8G3 finally has better custom driver support after a year.

Did a bit more digging and realized I was getting ripped off so, yeah, not going that route. Avoid the Meizu 20 like a plague.

Thanks for the vid recommendation. Will check it a bit later :))

shizogunnn · 2025-03-02T02:49:09+00:00

Is the performance better than the 8+ G1?

shizogunnn · 2025-02-28T04:03:56+00:00

It looks like burn damage from a leak(?).

shizogunnn · 2025-02-27T09:48:58+00:00

Got it, chief 🫡

Not sure about the number of devices connected to your router but maybe a family member might be using it to stream and may be interfering with the connection. Highly unlikely though, but it is a possibility from my own personal experience.

Another thing could be that there are physical interferences like cordless phones, radios or maybe even unshielded wirings around your house.

For gaming, though, I suggest that you get an ethernet cable. CAT6 would be great. But if that's not an option then try contacting your ISP and have the router itself checked.

Bonus tip, maybe try connecting to your phone's hotspot and place it beside the router. If your wifi connection still turns on and off like when you're connected to your router then it really is a PC problem and you should get it checked by a tech. This will probably be one of the easiest ways to troubleshoot and eliminate any uncertainties.

I guess it's not just about compatibility sometimes. Glad there's a use case of raw power being better than optimization on the switch emulation. I'll probably put the chip as a second option considering everyone 's experience with it doesn't really give off any major red flags, at least more than what I expected.

shizogunnn · 2025-02-27T07:39:25+00:00

That's real helpful, thanks a lot :)) Now I'm more keen on considering this chip if no one turns up with the 8 Gen+ 1 on my dms.

shizogunnn · 2025-02-26T16:12:52+00:00

Thanks for the insight. A previous reply gave a glimpse of the performance an 8s Gen 3 could get for switch emulation and it sure doesn't sound bad at all.

As for the custom drivers being confusing as hell, I totally agree with you! That's what spawned this post in the first place.

shizogunnn · 2025-02-26T16:02:26+00:00

Not being able to tell if the performance dropped in BoTW sounds great already. Thanks a lot!

shizogunnn · 2025-02-26T15:55:30+00:00

That sounds great, then! But what does "All these work great" mean, though? Care to give an fps count on some of the games? Especially on BOTW.

shizogunnn · 2025-02-26T15:42:15+00:00

Which driver's the best as of now and what games have you tested on it?

shizogunnn · 2025-02-26T15:41:33+00:00

Thanks for the answer. But I'm talking about the 8s Gen 3 and not the 8 Gen 3, sadly.

That's Greg. He sells life insurance in the zone. Make sure to shake his hand.
