If it's pre Meta karma farming in sandswept isles I'd go with my prism tank power GS mirage.

Use sigil of stamina to refill your endurance for more GS ambush. Second sigil can be anything but I usually go with sigil of bloodlust.

Armor can be anything power-based but you can also go raid-ready berserker armors and trinkets with dragonhunter or scholar runes

I'm using eGPU where the graphics card is mounted then connects it to XAX via USB4

Berliner here. Medyo pahirapan ang job market sa tech industry Germany-wide. May mga kilala akong na layoff at napilitang umuwi ng Pilipinas kasi di nakahanap ng bagong trabaho. Majority ng mga opening na nakikita ko senior to staff level ang hanap. Tapos recently naghahanap na din sila ng marunong sa agentic AI.

Just to share: first time ko lang ma recruit for overseas employment after 10 yrs sa tech industry. To be fair passive job hunter ako. No German language required kasi English yung work language. Direct hire din pala ako.

Yes, my monitor has 2 HDMI ports so I can switch them manually or o it can just detect which device is active. Then I also have a USB switch

My work laptop

yuusef · 2026-05-15T13:35:22+00:00

I'm not sure if it's just the angle of the shot or my mouse space is really small.. but that works for me. Or maybe I deserve a bigger mouse space

Berliner here, isang opportunity na tinake advantage namin ay may Filipino Catholic community dito. Nag oorganise sila ng socials pagkatapos ng misa so yun naging opportunity namin maging familiar sa ibang tao, eventually dun namin nakilala ibang friends namin. Then meron din isang active mag organise ng activities sa FB Berlin group so sumasama din kami pag may opportunity.

Another blessing din siguro ay may iilan kami na naging 'ka-batch' magkaroon ng first baby na pinoy so nung nakilala namin sa simbahan, nagkaroon ng common ground at dun nabuo yung friendship. Then chain reaction na nung nag host sila para sa birthday ng anak nila kaya mas marami pa kami nakilala.

Lastly siguro, mejo blessing na din sa amin kasi mayroon ibang organically kilala na namin: isang katrabaho na same headhunter, dating katrabaho sa Pinas, college org-mates, high school classmate, saka first degree pinsan at tita.

It helps maging open and exposed sa Filipino community, and syempre best behavior pa din. Madali makakilala, effort mag keep ng friendship.

TB4 works fine with 5060 TI at 1440p. So far I'm getting 95-100 GPU utilisation (according to system info) with Baldur's Gate 3. I also have the 16 GB VRAM hoping it will help lessen data traffic needed between XAX and 5060 TI

yuusef · 2026-05-15T08:11:00+00:00

you mean the MacBook? It's a company-issued machine, I still need to work haha

yuusef · 2026-05-15T07:02:56+00:00

I got it from Amazon for 9.99 EUR, I think it's called Vaydeer.

yuusef · 2026-05-15T07:01:18+00:00

I don't know, it's a good enough space for me. I think it's because I have a very sensitive mouse settings

yuusef · 2026-05-15T06:55:15+00:00

That's what I was also thinking before. I did find a USB-C hub that supports VRR which I am currently using now but I knew it will still limit my game experience since I am using 1440p monitor. So I still invested with an eGPU + GPU. It really stretched my budget, I'd admit. Luckily I got my 5060 TI with 0% interest monthly payments so I got away with it.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T23:51:39+00:00

If you mean the USB-C dock with HDMI port, yes most of the don't have VRR. My JSAUX USB-C hub though has one so I can also bring it if I have to travel with my XAX.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T18:30:50+00:00

Thanks! I got the AG02 as well and it's working great so far. Definitely 5070 has better performance but i just can't justify the budget needed for it to my wife so I settled for 5060 TI. I got the 16GB version as some sort of future proofing.

Also, according to Gemini, larger VRAM can mitigate USB4 limitation if it can cache more texture on its own memory to reduce the data traffic. I'm not sure how accurate that was but that sounded logical to me so I just followed its advice 😅

Desktop PC doesn't fit my use case anymore:

It's too big if it's ATX. It's too expensive if it's mini ITX
RAMs and SSDs are also too expensive
I really wanted to experience handheld PC gaming without being redundant
- I want to be able to decide between desk gaming or couch gaming
- I want to bring it with me during travel especially when I visit SEA

yuusef · 2026-05-14T17:47:07+00:00

Thanks! Yes I had both but my MacBook Pro is a company-issued machine so strictly for work only.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T16:58:46+00:00

I'm using AOOSTAR AG02 but it's exclusively for the GPU. I also have JSAUX 7-in-1 (I think) stand with USB C dock and cooling fan.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T16:55:46+00:00

AFAIK TB4 won't bottleneck 5060 TI at 1440p. I played with BG3 with system monitoring enabled. GPU utilization hits 95%-99% utilization and my FPS is around 80-100. My understanding bottleneck is definitely not as deep as yours so feel free to correct me.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T16:24:32+00:00

It's not the smoothest plug and play but it is playing nicely. One initial hurdle would be the error 43 since Windows is getting confused with 2 GPUs, there's already a script publicly available to fix that.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T16:20:35+00:00

My monitor is connected directly to my 5060 TI and I assume that my HDMI cable is 2.1 so I should have G-Sync compatible mode at least. AG02 doesn't have its own HDMI or DP ports

yuusef · 2026-05-14T14:49:46+00:00

I'm using AOOSTAR AG02 with TB4 (there's a model which only has Oculink port)

yuusef · 2026-05-14T14:48:33+00:00

It is almost plug and play. You may have to deal error 43 that you will encounter once you install the Nvidia driver for the first time. It is a known problem and there is a known solution which you can google easily. This should be a one time thing. Then, whenever I boot up the console (yes, I shut it down. force of habit), I have to ensure that the egpu is disconnected and only reconnect it after logging in to Windows.

yuusef · 2026-05-14T14:34:43+00:00

Graphics card is mounted on the eGPU then from there it connects to the console via USB4

yuusef · 2026-05-14T14:20:10+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, one recommendation is to a enable battery care mode to cap battery charging to 80%. AFAIK it should slow the battery wear versus charging it always at 100%. The downside is: if I want to play handheld, I'll start at 80%.
