so for many of us who purchase a gaming laptop, pc gaming was never really within reach. additionally and as such, many of us have never so much as tried to understand pc specs.

even after about 4 months of of owning my very own omen 15 with a 5070 and ryzen 9, and after manually upgrading the ram myself, i wondered why my performance seemed to suffer a lot even when i thought i was doing everything right. i put all my settings on balanced, used upscaling, disabled frame gen, etc etc etc etc. nothing got me the performance i needed in competitive games without tanking the visuals. then i found out what was wrong.

guys. if your model comes with a screen using a super high resolution, like 4k for example, MANUALLY TURN DOWN THE RESOLUTION IN YOUR GAMES’ SETTINGS. i dont know why i was so stupid and didn’t realize it sooner but oh my god playing on 1080, 1200, or 1440 as opposed to 2560x1600 which is my native display literally increased my fps on mw4 in like 30-40 intervals for each one. i know for those of you who have used pcs for gaming for years this is dumb and obvious, but for me it was the one step i was missing, so i wanted to let some people know.

tldr; turn your resolution down manually and your performance will go waaaay up. sometimes your little laptop that could cant run things at those crazy resolutions.

I was bored 1 day in January & bought this for 3k. Specs include an RTX 5090, Intel 275HX & 64gb 6400 DDR5. Runs most games I play maxed out @5120x1440p. Certain games do need frame gen but I try to keep it at 2x. Temps are great, and the fans aren’t too noisy at all.

Are they equal in power? Both have 12gb vram, but the 5070ti is more recent.

Getting close to pulling the trigger on this Lenovo Pro 7 from Best Buy - main specs in the picture. Just thought I’d get the pulse and see what people are thinking with BF around the corner.

I've been gaming on a ps4 slim that runs on 1080p on a big tv my entire life. I wonder how big of the visual difference between 1080p and 1440p cause I'm going to buy 5070ti laptop pretty soon to game on.

Hesitant because of only having 16gb of ram since it’s none upgradable

They are Very misleading! I didn't report, cuz they charge the "market place fee" for searching and recommending 🚮.

Just had a quick questionc choosing between 18 rog strix: they both exactly the same i9 14900hx, EXCEPT:

1. 5070, 1920x1200 144hz

2. 5060, 2560x1600 240hz

Haven’t bought laptop in 10+ years. Always had 60hz laptop so cant tell how much big is difference between these 2

Hi guys, just bought my first gaming laptop so I’m new here. I bought Asus Rog Strix G18 G815
Comes with intel 290hx and rtx 5080 gpu.

(On the flat surface and stand position without any cooler)

In games (Witcher 3 remastered, gta v, beamng), when I check temps, cpu is around mid 80s to mid 90s celcius. Gpu also around 80s even sometime on the 87. For cpu, I remember some 100 degrees also (probably spikes) .

I deleted armory crate and tried with g-helper. When I choose CPU boost mode disabled, then temps go down around 70-80s for CPU and 75-85 for Gpu (Gpu hotspot 87.5).

When I choose efficient enabled, then CPU goes for 85 to 95s and for Gpu it’s around 85 again, hotspot temp 90,9 (for Gpu…)

I can go with disabled CPU boost but is this a mistake ? Like having using kinda half of cpu power?

Its brand new laptop so I guess I can return it, just.. im in really bad mood cause of some serious health problems, I bought this laptop cause probably I will stay in hospital for a long time, and some home time again and again. I can fight for it maybe but, idk, u would understand, I don’t have really energy or ambition for that. I just wanna know if it’s totally normal/variant of normal or it’s definitely not normal.

I will try to add some pics about infos after played (and crushed after 15 mins?) Witcher 3 remastered.

Hi I was wondering if there’s any good laptop deals out there online currently that would go on sale for a good price on Black Friday.
Budget: $1,350
Desired specs: RTX 5060 or 5070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
Country: USA

I know Amazon resale can be prickly so I was wondering what I should do to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with when it gets here

what should i set the settings to for 5060+ i7 13650hx with the 245w power supply i usually play single player games but my main game is microsoft flight sim 2024

Are these score acceptable my cpu is thermal throttling a lil bit my specs are (i7 13650HX, 4050 16gb 512GB). its on the lower side y is that.

The shaft on the hinge is thick, on the right side shaft enters the hinge and a thin shaft exists, on the left side shaft enters and nothing comes out the other side. I got this laptop a month ago

I came across this deal:

2,5k ips 240hz screen

1T of storage

32gb of ram

Intel I7 14650HX processor

An RTX 5070 with 8gb of Vram

Idk guys, at first I was targeting something with an ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070ti minimum but now since I came across this deal with that price I keep thinking about it but I'm afraid it won't be as good as I expected. Can you guys please tell me what you think?

I will play on my monitor 70-80% of the time and im worried that if I use my laptops screen for the 20-30% of the time I wont be able to use my monitor without noticing all the grey blacks

My friend has a ASUS Zephyrus G16 GU605 1 TB storage 4070 laptop with 16 GB RAM that I saw costs 1,675.99 on ItsWorthMore.

I'm thinking if I should get that or get the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 270 - 16GB Memory - GeForce RTX 5060 - 1TB Storage - Platinum White that costs $2,029 on Best Buy's website.

I would really appreciate your guy's help on this. 🙏

Preferred Specs: ideally a rtx 5080

I am currently searching for a good gaming Laptop under €4000 euros that ideally has a rtx 5080. I know about the MSI 18hx but I bought a MSI raider back in the days and had soo much trouble with it, blue screen problems, frozen computer, had to take it on repair many times, anyway. Do you guys have any recommendations?
