    Something else I found out today, from personal use and it kind of makes sense (sorta), my Anker battery packs will not even attempt to charge my GO. They will charge the Steam Deck, the Ally, and the OneXFly. I have to use my Halo battery pack, which I have in my car in case I need to jump start it or pump up a tire or something (I travel A LOT and you never know with rental). So, I have to use a battery capable of jump starting a car to charge this bad boy and it HAS to be charged using the AC outlet on it, the USB ports will not do it either. I would have thought it would be able to. I know it wouldn't be as fast or as powerful as the wall charger, but the fact it can not do anything was surprising. So, if you are planning to travel with the Go and are going to use a battery pack, make sure you have one with an AC outlet on it. The Halo series is great and you can get one without the air pump and is basically the same surface area size as like an Anker battery pack that we would use for most other mobile devices. Just wanted to give you all a heads up, for anyone that hasn't tried a battery pack yet. If you have been able to charge from a usb port battery pack, let me know, as I would like to know what battery pack you have. Sorry for the long post.

It will have an affect on the battery but its too early to say what that will be since the device is so new. Really depends on if you keep it plugged in all the time versus charging it to zero vs using battery savings mode, etc etc. Too many factors.

    @leepurdy9069 Рік тому +13

    You should know that if you use RSR and FSR together, it can greatly degrade the image quality. RSR is only meant to be used in games where FSR is not an option. I would leave RSR off until you play a game that does not have FSR. Radeon suggests the same thing and they say to use FSR whenever possible instead.

    • @RPGHaviq
      @RPGHaviq  Рік тому +4

      You’re right. Except RSR won’t be active if a game has FSR already turned on in the settings. I’ve tried it on a few games and it doesn’t have both running. So it’s ok to leave it on.

      @leepurdy9069 Рік тому +1

      @@RPGHaviq I know it won't actually run, but AMD themselves has said to turn it off, because it can cause performance issues. You may be fine in the games your playing, but someone else may not or you may be getting decent performance, but if you turn RSR off you might get even better. If you read the AMD info, they found in their tests that there has been issues.

      Step 1 - Delete everything inside the AMD folder in C drive. Download the newest version of the Radeon Software for your specific GPU
      You can do this by going to the AMD Support page, choosing your GPU and downloading your preferred driver version
      Step 2 - Install it like you usually would, and let it fail. What we actually want are the folders that will be created in C:\AMD
      Step 3 - Open Device-Manager. Look for a GPU Adapter called " Windows Basic Display Driver" or something along those lines. Right-Click and choose "Update Drivers". Choose "Look for Drivers on my Computer" and point it towards
      "C:\AMD\\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF"
      Click on next and it should install the drivers for your specific GPU. After that, restart.
      Step 4 - Once you are back in windows, go to
      "C:\AMD\\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B355483"
      (This folder´s name is propably going to change with different software versions, so keep that in mind)
      In there, you should find a "ccc2_install.exe". Run it, and you should now be able to install the Adrenalin Software

      Hi, so you can set different controller inputs in steam depending on what you want to use. I would test the settings and see which controller input works best for you. Then when you start valorant you can select whichever input you want. And when you’re done playing you can switch back to the normal controls.
      The controls shouldn’t mess with epic or gamepass if you switch them. You can also connect a Bluetooth controller.
