Dude mine isn't showing up in the device adaptor i have rtx 5060 for my onexplayer 2. Will this same setup help my graphic card appear om device adaptor ?

This can apply to even AMD mini PCs my Timespy score reduced by about 300pts on both iGPU and 500pts on my eGPU G1 . Also using it's memory optimizer from AMD overwrote my iGPU memory allocation I set in the bios.

It would be nice if you link the server guide

Can't stop stutters when using the internal screen unfortunately. I tried all your recommendations and no luck. I will try one more thing but i think its destined to not be able to happened at this point

What price would you be willing to have paid for this if the setup was more chill?

All this every time I need to update drivers?

As much as I don’t want to, I’ll stick with a 4070.

Too bad, benchmarks for fsr frame gen have been looking real good.
