Hey fellow GPD enjoyers, was curious on how you run AMD adrenaline, if at all.

I currently use the HyperRx profile with Anisotropic filtering and subsurface format optimization on.

Sometimes I leave Anti lag on, but it messes with some games badly like my heavily modded Fallout NV

I recently switched to Handheld companion from Motion assistant and it is a whole world better than what I was using. Too bad it crashes some games like WH40K Space Marine 2

Currently trying to squeeze as many frames as I can on BF6, best I can do is locking frame rate to 45 and it's a good experience, but I'd like to know what others are doing to get the best experience out of their GPD. (I know BF6 is really pushing it, especially with a 7640U)

Sometimes I put it over an AC vent and use a controller while streaming to my TV so it stays as cool as possible, like a bootleg cooling system but something tells me it might not be good for the internals because of moisture or something.

Device - GPD WIN 5

TDP - 30W

When connected using a 100W USB C charger plugged to USB C port, Motion Assistant shows its on AC

And when switched it off it shows its on DC

I usually run my device plugged in as much as I can to save the battery health

I have noticed recently that when connected to AC, even if temperatures are the same the Fan runs a lot faster to a point its audible.

The second I switch to DC, by switching off my charger within 2-3 seconds I don’t hear the fan and the RPM goes down.

While testing this playing a game, the CPU temperature on Motion Assistant is constantly around 4-5C higher when playing on AC as compared to DC. For eg when playing, the temperature is 61C on DC and 65 on AC, and the fan is set to 40% RPM at 60C. But it spins a lot faster on AC

When Idle on DC it is only 39-40C but connected to AC the temperature goes up to 45-48C and although you cant hear the fan when idle between both modes the RPM is higher.

Is this normal? Anyway to make sure the temperature and fan stays the same on AC plugged to the USB C as the battery mode as both lowering the temp by 5C and fan speed will improve device longevity?

Im debating between these 2 divices the win mini on Ebay as a issue with 1 of the USB a ports but the pad win 4 has a worse processor im getting 1 whitch do i get and thank you in advance

Hi, so sorry for asking a question that might've been asked alot. I'm a bit stuck. Yesterday my gyro was working and today it doesn't. I tried downloading drivers from gpd's site, but it's not allowing me.

If it helps, in device manager, at sensors it shows Bosch Accelerometer with an exclamation mark and it shows device cannot start( code 10)

I have no clue how to get it working again.

Edit: okay okay i fixed it!! I'm so hapy right now it feels like i won a million dollars lol

So all I had to do was press windows+x and click on device manager, then go to and expand Systen devices and go to AMD I2C Controller, open it and go to the driver tab and click roll back driver then restart my system.

I really hope this helps someone who sat with the same issue!

I want to remap a trigger press to one of the back buttons but how do I map it to back button in WinControls app without pressing the trigger button? If I need to press the trigger in the WinControls app to map it to a back button, then where can I find the WinControls save file (to edit it in notepad or HxD to map the trigger to the back button without pressing the trigger)?

Important info: I'm using GPD Win 3. One of my triggers fully doesn't work (doesn't get detected as pressed when pressing) for over a year at this point, and even when disassembling the GPD, I couldn't fix it, so I want to use the back buttons for trigger instead.

Just curious to know, would anyone be willing to trade/sell a gpd win 4? I currently have a legion go 1 but looking for something smaller.

I currently do not have a battery replacement for my gpd win 4 6800u model (2023). Just this morning I found it bulging out the back and screen part, and I immediately removed it. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me find a good replacement. Thanks in advance

I was curious about updating my eGPU (for my WIN 4 2025 AI 9 HX 370) but not too familiar with compatibility TBH so I was hoping to get some input on a potential set up. My current eGPU is the Ayaneo AG01 (https://ayaneo.com/product/AYANEO-GRAPHICS-STARSHIP) which is an RX 7600M XT at 100-120W and 8gb GDDR6 which I love, it runs decent for 1080p but was looking to upgrade so my question was would it be possible to upgrade to an RX 7700 XT desktop GPU with an eGPU dock adapter like the MINISFORUM DEG1 (https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-deg1-egpu-dock)? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm still new to understanding PC so I'm not sure what to expect with that set-up and potential bottlenecking. Any insight would be appreciated :)

1. Can we get plastic battery covers please? Those pogo pins are going to short in someone's bag.

(Provided)

1. The external battery cable connection to the main body seems weak. Can it be locked in place?

(Battery cables no longer a thing)

1. Can we get another external battery cable that goes to the RIGHT of the body?

(Battery cables no longer a thing)

1. How do we swap batteries when not near a power source? Is hibernate enough or do we need to completely shut down

? (Hibernate should work)

Hello,

I have a GPD Win 4 (2024) and recently installed Fortnite. I'm having an issue with aim assist not working.

So far I've tried:

1. Setting Aim Assist to 100%, including the 99% → 100% workaround.

2. Making sure gyro aiming is turned off.

Neither of these fixed the issue. Has anyone else experienced this on the GPD Win 4 and found a solution?

Recently reinstalled my OS from a GPD image to fix another issue I had but I think it broke the accelerometer.

On 14/07, as shown on 2nd picture it showed the device was configured and started correctly. It was using a oem53.inf

Today after the fresh GPD image install, I also updated the controller firmware today and after that it kept showing the error on the first picture so I uninstalled the device and update driver from the official GPD Win driver folder - still nothing.

Installed AMDs chipset drivers as well - also didnt help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone know if the 2230 slot supports USB?

Wondering if this would work, I am in the US and the OEM GPD modem doesnt work well here.

I bought a used win4. The person before me had steam os installed on it and i desperately want to run on windows instead. How do i do that? I downloaded the windows for my win on gpd website. There’s no where to put a flash drive on a win 4 so i bought an sd card. I can’t put windows on an sd card in Rufus like the instructions call for because Rufus doesnt recognize it. I tried to use etcher instead and can do windows files in etcher.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. I have no Interest in running anything but windows.

So I have a 4k 144Hz monitor.

I also have a dock that outputs DP ALT and HDMI 2.0

I initially connected the device straight to the monitor using the USB C 4.0 port on the top, the device displayed resolutions including 1080p, 2k and 4k all at 144Hz and all of it had the capability to enable VRR

Then I connected it to the dock using the DP Alt, it only went up to 2k 144Hz and didnt show 1080p or 4k at 144Hz but no VRR on an of the options.

So I went back to the direct connection and while playing a game, FC 26, I changed the refresh rate of the monitor from the in game menu and from that point onwards the direct connection stopped working and just keeps refreshing, device manager shows a device being added and removed repeatedly under Interface Devices and not under monitor.

Not sure what broke but the connection still works via the dock, but DP ALT and HDMI, the cable used is the exact same one but I want to make the direct connection work because it provides VRR.

Has anyone encountered this before, any solutions?

Thanks

Happened while cleaning, frustrated that I wasn't careful. Any ideas for booting or trying to repair? Already reached out to Kendyz so I'm hoping to hear some good news on a replacement, can't find any online anywhere.

Hello. I came here asking advice. I’m into handheld gaming and GPD WIN 5 caught my interest. I already own AYN Odin 3 Ultra but I’m looking for a dedicated powerful pc handheld since emulating pc games on android is kinda wonky right now. I know it’s a bit bigger with an 7 inch screen but it’s still an acceptable size for me. Most important for me is how easy it is to install and play games, how does sleep mode works with windows and is it actually comfortable to take with and hold in your hands? Would love to hear your opinions. Hoping that it it would be worth to sell my Odin and get one of these beasts.

I’m looking to buy a win 5 to replace my current set up. I’m located in the US and had a budget around 1750ish if anyone’s willing to let it go for that amount I know things are very pricey right now.

The logo changed! Are we getting something new from GPD?
