  • I can’t really tell, because your use-case is very different from mine and could change in the future. a 5600 gets you 250+ FPS at 1024*768 in CS2, and with it the bottleneck in other, more modern games, will be the GPU instead, so I think spending 20% more for a 5700X when the 5600 is more than enough for your monitor is a bit of wasted money… you could save that for a newer GPU once you find that yours isn’t enough anymore.

    just watch videos titled 5600 RX580 + name-of-the-game-you-play and then do the same with 5700X instead and see for yourself if it’s worth the higjer price or not!

    did you mean 5600F? (never mind, I read 5600i lol) for €11, get the X then because the F is a step below the 5600.

    depending on how much you want to spend, and keeping in mind that the 5600 is more than enough to get to your maximum refresh rate, an then some, I’d get the 5600/5600X and save the money.

    at your resolution (1024*768?) that video shows even higher FPS so I really don’t see the need to go for a 5700X.

    you’re right that your current bottleneck is the CPU

    How much is the 5600 (non x)? because the FPS difference between the two is around 5-8%. I remember that when I went from a 2600x to a 5600 I got a nice fps boost at 1440p (don’t remember how much but I feel like it was 10-15%, maybe more), granted with a better GPU and not in CS2, but you will see a difference.

    According to this video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JcvPyxPiQ

    5600 + RX580 averages 200ish fps at 1080p low

    also, doesn’t hurt to test, but iirc my 2600x couldn’t handle RAM any faster than 3100something, 3200 would crash as soon as I started a 3D application

    Aren’t there ways to patch the whatever-it-is that is “required” by W11 that older PCs don’t have so that you can bypass the check and have W11 on older machines? I feel like that’s a better solution than paying for Microsoft’s garbage, if one was bent on not moving to Linux


  • I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn’t really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!



  • Thanks for the reply and the testing. It’s not via Flatpak (I figured it would be best not to, since Flatpak Gnome Boxes could not create a VM because of KVM issues, while Boxes installed via sudo apt install gnome-boxes gave me no error), but a simple tar extracted in desktop.

    Since AMD Virtualization is Enabled in BIOS (although I can’t toggle it) and Gnome Boxes can create a VM when installed via terminal, I don’t think it’s a BIOS or CPU problem (otherwise no version of Boxes would allow me to run a VM, but I did launch Arch btw from inside Boxes).

    Am I wrong?

    Thanks!
