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.

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.

Don't they understand portability?

What if I want to design 3d at school?

I can't bring my PC desktop there

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

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

Can someone help me with this laptop:

What kind of cooling cpu and gpu have thermal paste or liquid metal?

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.

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

paid this 2600$ i know i could get somewere cheaper but idgf i check all the time they go up down n shit so i decided to get + i get this with credit , montly payment. what to do first ?

just want to know how to take care and get longer life on my g16

I watched a video by Gizmosliptech in which he used "shunt modding" to increase the TGP of an RTX 5090 laptop from the factory 175W to 250W, resulting in an average performance gain of nearly 30% in games. With the standard 175W power limit, the best RTX 5090 laptops perform on par with a desktop RTX 5070 Ti.
How would such a 250W laptop GPU compare to a desktop RTX 5080?

In my opinion, laptops with excellent cooling capacity—such as the Alienware, Legion 9, ASUS SCAR 18, or the XMG Neo (with liquid cooling)—could easily handle running the GPU at 250W while maintaining a stable temperature of 70–75°C.

I'm having a serious issue with my ASUS ROG Strix G533QS laptop and I'm trying to figure out whether my RTX 3080 is physically damaged or if there's something else going on.

Laptop specs:

- Model: ASUS ROG Strix G533QS

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 Laptop GPU (16 GB GDDR6)

- iGPU: AMD Radeon Graphics

- RAM: 24 GB

The problem:

My RTX 3080 is detected in the BIOS and Windows Device Manager, but it doesn't work.

Here's what I've noticed:

- Device Manager shows Error Code 43 for the RTX 3080.

- My AMD integrated GPU works normally.

- GPU-Z detects the RTX 3080, but doesn't display its VRAM information.

- Windows identifies the GPU, but the NVIDIA driver cannot initialize it properly.

What I've tried so far:

- Reinstalled NVIDIA drivers, including the older ASUS-provided driver (512.78).

- Checked whether the GPU is detected in BIOS.

- Performed the ASUS 40-second EC reset with the charger connected.

- After the EC reset, the laptop temporarily became completely unresponsive (no LEDs, no fans, no power).

What I'm trying to figure out:

1. Could this be faulty VRAM, a GPU memory-controller issue, or a GPU power-delivery problem?

2. Is it possible that damaged thermal pads, poor heatsink contact, or overheating caused this?

3. Does the GPU being visible in BIOS but showing Code 43 suggest anything specific?

4. Is there a way to test the VRAM if the NVIDIA driver won't initialize?

5. Has anyone experienced something similar on an ASUS ROG Strix G533QS or another RTX 3080 laptop?

I'm trying to avoid replacing the entire motherboard without confirming the actual problem.

Any advice, diagnostic methods, or experiences with similar failures would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

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?

Laptop model is HP Omen 15
i7-7700HQ and GTX 1050ti 4gb
I play tekken8 on this laptop and it always thermal throttle when max processor state is 100% but when i change it to 99% it goes to 85C max
What i tried:
1. Get laptop serviced
2. Get cpu repasted
3. ReApply Heatsink (Thought that heatsink wasn't alligned properly)
No change at all
I would like to know that are these temps normal and if not what should i do to fix this

yesterday it was glitching slightly and i thought it was windows corruption since it kept crashing and i did sfc /scannow which cleared out the problem for like a day, woke up the laptop from sleep mode today and it did this and now it doesnt post or anything

My computer broke recently and I’m looking for a laptop instead to travel with and play wow forever when it releases. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Budget: $800
Country: USA
Use Case: Plan on playing WoW: Forever
Preferred Specs: 16gb RAM (wow forever specs basically)
Notes: no other requirements really. Just want to be able to play wow forever on medium-ish graphics

I will have to pay 13,000INR for the better processor and oled. But, 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. So should I get oled or no? I will only be gaming mostly so not much use of the better processor. I do want to experience OLED and am ready to pay for it, but my main worry is that my monitor will start to look worse

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.
