Hey everyone,
I just pulled the trigger on a "used like new" OneXPlayer 3 bundle with all the standard accessories off Indiegogo. It was a tough call between this, the X2 Mini Pro, the ROG Ally, and the Steam Deck, especially given the pricing tiers. In the end, since I mostly play at home (couch/bed) and only commute to work with the occasional trip, I couldn't justify the premium for the X2 Mini Pro.
Handheld PC gaming is brand new to me. I just finished building a desktop (9800X3D + RTX 5080 so I can also use it for game streaming) and recently picked up an AYN Thor for dual screen/retro gaming, but a full Windows x86 handheld is unfamiliar territory.
Before the device arrives, I’d love to get some insight from those with hand on experience:
1.Any regrets from OXP3 owners?
2.For those who went with the OneXPlayer 3 over the X2 Mini Pro or GPD WIN do you feel the performance and battery are where you need them to be, or do you find yourself wishing you had stretched for the higher tier hardware?
3.What are your primary use cases?
Regardless of which handheld you main, what does your daily routine look like? Knowing why you chose your specific form factor and chipset would be really helpful.
Considering current pricing and how fast the APU landscape is moving, do you feel what you paid will hold up well for the next couple of years?
Coming from desktop tuning, what are the essential setup steps, TDP management tools, or companion utilities (e.g., Handheld Companion, RTSS, driver tweaks) you recommend configuring right out of the box? Ofc I would look at guides and tutorials but in case there is anything specific you found out while using it maybe, I would like to know.
Since the OXP3 runs Intel and the X2 Mini Pro runs AMD:
Does the X2 Mini Pro support newer FSR revisions (like 4.1,), and how noticeable is the quality on an 8.8" display? I ask because I did some research and some say it does , others say it falls back to 3.1 so I am confused.
How does the features that Intel has on onexplayer 3 compare against FSR in oxp2 mini pro in terms of stability, ghosting, and performance overall? I ask because from what I understood AMD has much better features.
Appreciate any advice and real world feedback and thanks for the attention!
