stepee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I actually don’t know if it works if you just throw a ssd in the deck without cloning it first? Does it install the OS from flash or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you email them? I'd bet they're just confirming the info you sent them and are figuring out a corrective course, but that's just a guess.

stepee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 You want to cap something like last of us to 30fps - or maybe 40fps on the new one - but I can’t remember how you do that - but someone needs to tell Best how to because idk when I get mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think you get to select a frame indicator in that menu too - so you can see how it’s running - I can advise more when I get mine but I think tlou should be set to 30fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 There are lots of adjustments you can make in that menu to adjust your performance -- I don't use them very often, as I "mostly" play indies on my deck. Although I am playing Spider-Man off and on, as it crashes on my Desktop.

stepee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Best likes AAA stuff so I think for what he wants to play he should be used to setting 30/40fps caps - he won’t do much indie here I don’t think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For recent stuff, 30 fps is best case. Older AAA stuff can get 60fps. Many people cap everything at 30 fps for battery reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
