The All New Handheld Control Panel Does It All For Your Hand-Held Gaming PC! First Look

Setting Up a Custom Profile for X Game on Controller

=====================================================

In order to customize my gaming experience on my controller, I've set up a profile specifically for X game. This will allow me to edit various settings such as resolution, hertz, and TVP. For this example, let's go with 1080 resolution at 60 hertz.

Setting Screen Settings

----------------------

To start, we need to head over to the screen settings. We'll be changing the refresh rate from its default value of 60 Hz to 60 Hz. Additionally, we can adjust the TVP (total video processing) and change our charger or battery settings. Since I'm currently charging my controller, I'll only make adjustments for that.

Adjusting Power Settings

------------------------

Next, let's focus on power settings. We have three options here: EPP (Enhanced Performance Profile), FPS limit, and Max CPU / GPU clocks. To ensure maximum performance, we want to set our CPU clock to its highest value and our GPU clock as well. Since I'm using an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) with a maximum clock of 2500 MHz, we'll set it to that.

Saving the Profile

-------------------

Now that we've made all the necessary adjustments, let's save this profile by pressing the start button. However, there's one important thing to note - in order to maximize the GPU clock on our IGPU (Integrated Graphics Processing Unit), we need to go back to settings and adjust it manually.

Adjusting Max GPU Clock

------------------------

To get the maximum possible clocks out of our IGPU, we need to set it here. In this case, my Max GPU clock is currently set at 2500 MHz, but I can increase it up to 2800 MHz or even higher with some APU models. Let's set it to 2800 MHz for maximum performance.

Testing the Profile

--------------------

Now that we've saved our profile and adjusted the max GPU clock, let's test it out in-game. We'll launch X game from our app launcher, which has scanned all of my installed games, including World of Warcraft.

App Launcher Features

----------------------

The app launcher is a great feature that allows us to scan for all installed games and create profiles for them. In this case, we've got Blizzard section working, which includes World of Warcraft. The app launcher also provides settings options such as theme, accent color, language, notifications, and more.

Additional Settings

---------------------

We can adjust various settings in the app launcher, including our accent color, language, and notification preferences. We can also choose to auto-start the window or enable notifications. Additionally, there's an option for auto-checking updates and enabling smart fan control, which seems to be available on certain devices.

Fan Control with Eye and Neo 2

--------------------------------

One of the features that caught my attention is the handheld control panel on the Eye and Neo 2 device. With this feature, we can set our minimum TDP (thermal design power) and maximum sync value for our APU. This allows us to fine-tune our performance settings for optimal gaming.

Testing with Cyberpunk 2077

-----------------------------

Let's test out our profile in-game by launching Cyberpunk 2077 from the app launcher. We've set our TDP to 25 watts and boost up to 30, which will help optimize our performance while still maintaining a reasonable power draw. Additionally, we can adjust our GPU clock as needed.

Adjusting GPU Clock with Handheld Control Panel

------------------------------------------------

To maximize our performance in-game, we need to adjust our GPU clock as needed. We've set our static GPU clock to 1500 MHz for now, but we can jump up to 2500 MHz with the handheld control panel. Let's go ahead and enable it to see the difference.

Cyberpunk 2077 Performance

-----------------------------

With our profile in place and our settings adjusted, let's test out Cyberpunk 2077's performance. We're running at 60 FPS with a boost of 30 Watts, which is a significant improvement over our default settings. If we want to push the limits further, we can increase our TDP up to 41 Watts while maintaining the same frame rate.

Conclusion

----------

Overall, I'm extremely impressed with this app launcher and its ability to optimize performance for various games. With its advanced features like profile scanning, screen settings, power management, and fan control, it's become an essential tool in my gaming arsenal. I'll be sure to continue testing it out and providing feedback to the developers as they work on ironing out any bugs.

Keep an eye on Project SBC's YouTube channel and GitHub links for updates on this app launcher, which will likely be available to the public soon. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about this app launcher, feel free to leave a comment below!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign hey you what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime back here again today we're going to be taking an early look at an upcoming third-party application that is a must-have for your handheld be it rise and powered or Intel this is coming to us from the developer who goes by the name project SBC and uh just to throw it out there is actually one of my good friends we've become really good friends in the last year or so and I wanted to show this off I've got early access to it and I'm not just saying it because he is one of my good buddies but this is one of the best applications that I've seen for these sand healths and it's definitely going to be a must-have once it's released to the public I do have Early Access and I was told that I could kind of show it off here it should be released in the next week or two so definitely keep an eye out I'll leave a link to the GitHub and his YouTube page but right now I've got this running on the ineo too and my stock TDP was set at 15 watts we've got Spider-Man remastered from handheld control panel I've just taken it up to 28 watts and that's all I've changed so far but from handheld control panel we can adjust the GPU clocks our static clock there we can adjust the CPU clocks fan curve it's got its own built-in game launcher with customizable performance profiles and I've actually been testing this on new ryzen 7000 the 7940 HS and the 7840u it does work with both of those new apus so I'm going to take the GPU clock here the igpu clock up to 1900 megahertz which really does help out with these Spider-Man games be it Miles Morales or just Spider-Man remastered and now we're at a static clock of 1900 megahertz he's also been working on an auto TDP feature and there are plans to implement it what's on the market right now does work but you know if you've ever tried it out it can be a bit hit or miss so he does have a different way of working with auto TDP hopefully we do see that soon because it's turning out to be really awesome in this video I want to kind of go over the features and I will swap over to my game capture in just a second but I'll with this eye and neo2 I did want to show you that we can totally adjust that fan curve we've got kind of a static setting here and I'm just going to go up to 100 it's going to blast that fan and it can get quite loud but there's also a curve Optimizer built in if we head over to settings we can set up our own custom fan curve directly from handheld control panel and this does work with emulation it'll actually work with any application but now I want to swap over to my game capture so you can get a closer look at how this all works okay so I've just moved over to my game capture so we could get a better look at everything and to bring this up at any time obviously you'll need to launch it once or you can set it up with auto start default button combination from your controller would be right on your d-pad lb and RB at the same time as you can see brought it right up now we've got a bunch of sections to mess around with but I wanted to show you some of the more important things like our home section here obviously we've got control over our Bluetooth Wi-Fi volume we can mute brightness resolution refresh rate we can also change the screen scaling from here FPS limit TDP which is going to be very important for these apus I'm going to go to 15 watts Epp personally I like around 35 percent if you want the CPU to kind of have Max performance at any given time go down to zero but 35 is kind of a sweet spot for gaming active CPU cores if you don't need all eight CPU cores for a lighter indie game you can disable them directly from here Max CPU clock Max GPU clock now this is great for just overall controlling everything you know right off the bat but we've got some more sections here that come in really handy we've got our profile section I've just got this set up with a default profile but we can always create a new one if we want to new profile we can rename it you can set it up as your default profile if you want to and keep in mind this is on charger from here so our resolution let's say 1080 we're going to go to 60 hertz on charger we can set our TDP boost TDP FPS limit Epp and so on and so on we can also do it on battery so it will detect if you're on battery or on a charger actions toggle quick access menu now this can be edited if you want to personally I like the way it's set up lbrb right on the d-pad that's going to shut it down or bring it back up I've already got steam running and this was set up right out of the box lb RB up brings me right into Big Picture Mode with steam so I can get right into playing my favorite games from here very quickly toggle Mouse mode and we've got kind of a quick TDP setting so we can go up by two or down by two with a hotkey start d-pad up start d-pad down this comes in really handy if you just need a little extra in the game all you need to do is use those hotkeys to bring it up or down I'm not going to go into Mouse mode right now because we are using a controller here but our app launcher is something that is really awesome right now I've Got Game Pass epic games and steam installed on this PC and handheld control panel will actually scan through our default directories and find all of our games but we kind of need to enable this so we're going to go over to settings and from here we're going to scroll down sync games so I'm just going to press a like I mentioned it's going to scan those default directories and now when I move back over you can see it's got all of the games that I have installed on this PC right here ready to go so for instance cyberpunk 2077 I can launch the game right now from here if I want to but I want to set up kind of a custom profile specifically for this game X on my controller it's going to edit this resolution 1080. let's go to 60 hertz we can change that TVP and again on charger or battery I'm on charger right now so I'm only going to be changing this one 25 watts and for that boost let's go to 30. FPS limit EPP I'm going to go to 35 here Max CPU Max GPU clocks I'm going to go with all eight cores and again battery so there is something important here with the GPU clocks I'm going to save this by pressing start but in order to kind of get the maximum clocks out of your igpu we do need to head back to settings and you can see that my Max GPU clock is 2500 it's actually 2800 on this APU but you can set it right here that way you don't go over or under as soon as you install this I think the maximum is around 15 to keep it kind of safe most apus will go at least up to that but I'm going to take this up to 25 just to be sure and while I'm in game I can actually change this but you could always set it directly from your profile but yeah this app launcher is really awesome um I mean it just scanned all of the games that I have here and like I mentioned oh it looks like it scanned my blizzard section also so blizzard is working because I've got World of Warcraft here pretty cool so epic blizzard steam Game Pass and possibly more I'm sure more will be added in the future if that's it but that's all I've got installed on here and I found all the games that are installed right now information and of course settings we've taken a look at this but a theme dark or light our accent color can be changed change that up for me app location right or left depends on how you want this set up language enable notifications we can have this auto start when window starts up if you want to auto start auto check for updates Auto Smart fan control now with the system I'm on right now I can't get fan control going but on the eye and neo2 that you saw at the beginning of the video we've got full fan control with handheld control panel moving down we can set our minimum TDP of this Apu and maximum sync the TDP values but overall this has turned out to be really awesome and I can't wait for more people to get their hands on it let's move into cyberpunk 2077 we can launch it from here I've scanned my directories and I've got a profile set up the TDP is set at 25 watts we've got a boost up to 30 and with this system here our boost will stay for a very long time so we've just hopped right into cyberpunk 2077 and I've got afterburner running so we can take a look at everything CPU package power it's going to max out at 30 Watts that's our maximum boost that we have it set at and I've actually set my igpu here to 1500 megahertz just to show you that we can change this easily also I'm gonna bring up handheld control panel and we'll go to 2500 as soon as I exit you'll see that jump up the 780m igpu 2500 megahertz so this is kind of lock it right there for us that's our static GPU and we're only at 30 Watts running at 60 FPS these new rdna3 apus are actually really awesome but if we want a little more wattage right in game let's go up to 41. now you'll see my CPU package power go on up so we've got on the Fly TDP tweaking GPU clocks we can scan for games here and this will be available to the public in the next week or so there are some bugs that the developer needs to kind of work out here but overall you know I've been doing a lot of testing with it and it works out really really well so obviously I've been super excited about this and I've actually tested it on the 1X player the 1X player mini the 1X player X the AOK Zoe I've tested it on the new 7000 series ryzen laptop and obviously the eye and Neo 2. it's working on all of those apus and as soon as this is available to the public I will post to my community section but definitely keep an eye on Project sbc's YouTube channel and GitHub links for those will be down below and if you've got any questions let me know in the comments below but that's going to wrap it up for this one and like always thanks for watching\n"
