Not sure if the stutters yesterday was from the other side, but today was really good.  No issues all day.  One Microsoft Teams meeting was with 20+ people in my team and that went without a glitch for the whole hour of the meeting.  What I will say for sure is that for me this FW is better than any official releases after 42095.

Had a few micro-stutters during Teams calls this afternoon without connection dropping.  As I said, I will continue testing.  If it persists I will go back to 42095.

Initial testing on Microsoft Teams is good.  I have had several Teams meeting and so far no connection drops over wifi.

I will carry on testing for the rest of the week before coming to any conclusions.

I have already updated to latest FW and factory reset.  I’ll be testing teams next week.  Not holding much hope but the initial setup after factory reset was quick compared to previous FW.

That is what I am finding, prices are way to high. Anything ASUS from a gaming perspective is good, shame about the hybrid HDD /SSD but a good purchase considering the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is worth £700 + on its own . I doubt it will be in stock anytime soon

John Lewis said they will order new stock in mid Jan 22.  If price is close to that I will buy.  The NVMe SSD and HDD are separate.

So I have had feedback from ASUS this morning regarding XT8 Firmware – FWIW: ASUS are looking into the stability issues also, ——- Regarding XT8 firmware, our team still checking issues raised by customers. No clear schedule for next release at the moment ——-

I had a feeling they must be looking into the stability issues.  Thanks for following up with your contact.

My son is using this on his PS4 and Xbox series X and not heard a complaint at all.  Not sure if this is Hyperoptic to thank for or 1.1.1.1

With PC parts prices so high, I might go with a pre-built for the first time ever.  Looking at this from John Lewis if it comes back in stock:

https://www.johnlewis.com/asus-rog-strix-ga35-g35dx-gaming-pc-amd-ryzen-7-32gb-ram-2tb-hdd-512gb-ssd-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-black/p5920024?&tmcampid=81&s_emcid=JLE1798_EMWBIS_Confirm_20211222_&s_emuid=&s_emlid=BODY

Also available from Amazon for a much higher price:

Never thought I would consider pre-built……
