i can give some good examples, totk runs better with vulkan rather than opengl, bayonetta 1&2 runs better with opengl rather than vulkan, its game dependent really, because of the weirdness of the engines used

XXe How so lol

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:34 AM

A bazillion watts in a tiny device, sheesh

Xe•1/11/24, 1:34 AM

should I use a decky plugin to cap the TDP to be safe?

CCharlieBros How was thermals?

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:34 AM

I got thermal warnings when I’d try and transfer more than 600gb at a time unless I boosted the fan a bit

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:35 AM

but PLEASE do this,, set minimum wattage to 4w

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:35 AM

going under that isn't safe I think

Alex&IndieOP•1/11/24, 1:35 AM

at 3w even the deck starts to die

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:35 AM

you can do that from the QAM from decky menu

I didn't say that Vulkan is better than OpenGL.
I compared Windows OpenGL to Linux OpenGL.

AAlex&Indie at 3w even the deck starts to die

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:36 AM

4w is the lowest the ally can go safely and even thats unsupported

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:36 AM

shouldn't linux openGL be better

JJorge shouldn't linux openGL be better

fiftydinar•1/11/24, 1:36 AM

compared to Windows OpenGL, yes

AAlex&Indie 6 perf cores

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:36 AM

I don't know if you want to suffer the terrible battery life and heat from a 8 or 12 perf core spu in a petite device

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:37 AM

woah hold up

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:37 AM

the ally is running really cool at 35w

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:37 AM

80C

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:37 AM

I'm gonna try 40

JJorge 4w is the lowest the ally can go safely and even thats unsupported

Alex&IndieOP•1/11/24, 1:37 AM

thats because of the new architecture, which is a bit more wattage and voltage dependent than the previous one

Alex&IndieOP•1/11/24, 1:38 AM

i only heard bad things about e cores, so when i check out intel, i always check first the p cores

AAlex&Indie the budget in question:

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:38 AM

Alright, that's veeeeeery interesting, the Ultra 5 only losses 2 performance cores but has the same GPU, might be a much better option than the normal Z1 ally, which is btw, atrocious

Alex&IndieOP•1/11/24, 1:38 AM

8 is the sweet spot

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:39 AM

80FPS guardians of the galaxy is glorious on this thing

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:39 AM

man dual booting linux was a great idea

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:39 AM

getting higher TDP's than 30w on the ally is way more tedious

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:39 AM

at 40w its running under 80C

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:40 AM

thats if the temperature checker from the QAM is accurate

you mean the steam deck processor they up-marketed kekw

AAru he made it for his dad specifically, i think

Yasuke•1/11/24, 1:45 AM

That’s how it started

Mmatt_schwartz you either need a slightly boosted fan profile over the default, or it could pro...

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:45 AM

And you don't need to change the backplate, right?

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:45 AM

No. Just the adapter.

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:45 AM

it fits like it’s meant to be there tbh

XXe should I use a decky plugin to cap the TDP to be safe?

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

I'll say, yes

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

now I’m unsure if a heat sink changes things. I did not have one on mine. It’s now in my desktop PC so I couldn’t tell ya the current status.

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

uh oh

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

Hmm IDK if I would transfer so much, I mean, my MBA only has 256 GB of storage, where would I get 600 GB

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

@matt_schwartz temps went up to like 90-93

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:46 AM

at 40w

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:47 AM

just lowered it to 35w,I can already tell thats gonna be a problem right?

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:47 AM

with whatever the default fan curves on linux are

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:47 AM

I was doing some serious distrohopping at the time and transferring like 1.5TB of data a lot. My SD card reader was cooked a month after release

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:48 AM

I guess that's the case with intel, my only other experience with ecores are the A17 Pro and the M1/2, most of my tasks only use the ecores in the mac, afaik

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:48 AM

you were installing linux 1 month in?!?

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:48 AM

do you dual boot?

JJorge @matt_schwartz temps went up to like 90-93

Jorge•1/11/24, 1:48 AM

do you know if this is normal matt?

Mmatt_schwartz it fits like it’s meant to be there tbh

CharlieBros•1/11/24, 1:49 AM

I wonder if they planned to do it and then backed out

Alex&IndieOP•1/11/24, 1:49 AM

my current intel hardware is all 10th gen, my next laptop/desktop/deck upgrade will remain amd

matt_schwartz•1/11/24, 1:50 AM

like I said, the bios is meant to bump the temperature back down between 90-95 degrees. I’m not sure about the current state of setting TDP on Ally but it’s very possible the Decky plugin now overrules the bios limits with certain settings

i can give some good examples, totk runs better with vulkan rather than opengl, bayonetta 1&2 runs b
