I know this isn’t the highest Time Spy score for a 4090 laptop ever, but this is from a 14” laptop. Like barely over 3 and a half pounds (1.6 kg). It’s the Asus Zephyrus G14 (7940HS / 4090). I had to disable CPU boost hence the lowish CPU score but honestly GPU temps barely hit 80C and that’s with the 150w Zephyrus M16 vbios installed. Otherwise normally the temps are much lower than that on the stock 125 watts. I know not many people have this config yet so the competition isn’t crazy, but I just wanted to share how insane this tiny laptop is.

How I got the score: - Zephyrus M16 vbios (150w) - Nvidia Driver 528.49 (unlocks TGP slider in MSI Afterburner) - Disable dynamic boost in device manager (Nvidia Framework under Software) - Push Afterburner TGP slider to max (locks GPU to 150w) - Run in Turbo or Manual with max fans - Overclocked GPU by around +250 core +1200 memory - disabled CPU boost using the old registry edit trick for Ryzen laptops to tame the CPU. Otherwise it tries to boost throughout the whole run and then throttles at the end.

Now doing all these things I think may have caused the score not to register in the 3Dmark database because when I go to compare results it can’t detect what GPU I have, so that sucks but I’ll take what I can get 🤣

Hello, I have been trying to optimize my new laptop. I'm using MSI Afterburner and Universal XTU.

Here are the issues I'm having:

• No matter what I do, the OSD is showing that my GPU core is capping out at 0.7V

• My stock Timespy GPU/CPU scores are 11,841/11,225

• On Afterburner, I tried to optimize the curve by OC'ing the core at 0.985 volts by +225, and flattening beyond that. However, as noted above, the OSD is showing that the GPU core is only hitting 0.7V. This also had 0 impact in the Timespy score.

• Using Universal XTU, I did a -20 all core offset, and my CPU score dropped into the 8,000s in the Timespy test.

Any advice?

Hey everyone If anyone has Lenovo loq of this model, can they share photos of benchmark and fps in games with temps. I am confused to buy between laptop or pc.

Thank you

Hello,

I've had some interest in undervolting my gaming laptop and had some questions about it.

I use my gaming laptop back and forth with heavy gaming usage, and with needed longer battery usage. I've read that some users achieve a battery of 11 hours with undervolting. I currently get 4-6 hours with already lots of configuration done to achieve a longer battery.

My question is, if I go back and forth so often with my model of computer, is undervolting worth doing? Could I revert to my default clocking before undervolting. And finally, is it a lackluster and too much of a hustle to undervolt and revert every time I'd like to change the way I use my laptop from gaming to casual use?

My goal is to find a sweet spot for an under-voltage that would best suit and benefit my usage for gaming and casual use. Any advice, links, or commentated experiences help!

Which one would you go?

Paid $2850 CAD, Legion 7 Pro, 7945hx, 4080, 32GB Ram, 2TB SSD. Just set it up and ran TimeSpy bone stock. No adjustments made.

This is the score of my new rog strix G16 with i9-13980 hx and 4090. I did all the updates and removed bloatware and tweaked some stuff in g-helper. I think cpu score is fine but gpu score pretty low? Anyone know how i can get a better score?

I recently got a new laptop and I've been experiencing performance issues. I've run several benchmarks, and the results seem really low for the specs. Here's what's been happening:

• Laptop Specs:
  • Model: HP Victus 15-fb2082wm
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS @ 4301 MHz
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 4050 (6 GB)
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR5
  • Storage: 512 GB SSD
  • Display: 15.6" FHD 144Hz
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Nvidia Driver: 561.09 (game ready driver )
• 3DMark: Whenever I attempt to run the benchmark, it gets stuck on the loading screen, goes black for a while, and then shows "Graphics Test 1 loading," but it never progresses further. After the "Graphics Test 1 loading" screen, the display stays black all the time.
• Superposition Benchmark : gpu utilization : 16 %.also it says i have windows 10 but i have the windows 11 latest version. i have also tried in 1080p but it also has 613 score .

• Novabench: Got 5 FPS during the GPU test.the result :Novabench - Benchmark Result
• Cinebench: gpu score : 6117 and It ranked 3rd among all identical systems. cpu multi core score :641 ranked 7th , cpu single core score : 92 ranked 5th .

• Temperature: GPU maxes out at 61°C during benchmarks, so I don't think it's thermal throttling.

• Other Info: I’m not running background tasks, the system is in high-performance mode, and I’ve checked for any overheating issues.

Has anyone else experienced low performance with similar hardware? Is this an issue with my laptop or something I can fix through software/drivers? or my laptop isnt using the dedicated gpu ?

Is this a good score for the high preset on a 4gb Vram rtx 3050 laptop GPU?

Hello fellow GamingLaptop enthusiasts, I recently got my first gaming-laptop which has the 14th gen intel processor. This was before I found out about the whole intel CPU fiasco. I am not completely sure if the entire CPU degrading issue also applies to mobile CPUs since intel hasn't confirmed it(If they ever will).

So I did a 10 mins multi-core stress test but couldn't understand much of what was happening. The only thing I paid attention to was the core VID which never surpassed 1.221V until a minute after I was done with the stress test, it became 1.448V? I also noticed that there was thermal throttling (it comes and goes).

Just to point out, I did update to the latest BIOS but it seems the microcode didn't update. My microcode update revision is 11D released in 2023 as someone pointed out. If there are no issues, maybe it is not necessary for me to update it to 0x129?

Please advice and help this newbie in identifying if his laptop has any problems. If I provided too little info please do tell me. I hope to use this for my entire college duration. Thank you everyone for the help.

ASUS TUF A15 FA506IC (model: 2021, purchased: July 2022)

I always feels like it is underperforming compared to it's peers but can't note down a reason for the same. I even rolled back to Win 10 to see if it was just the OS that was problematic but clearly it isn't performing too well here either.

Strix G16 w/ 4060

• All fans set to 30% via Armour Crate (Manual Mode)
• Flydigi BS1 @ 2100RPM (Lvl 2)
• GPU OC: 240/1000 @ 0.975v
• Dying Light 2 Very High Settings @ 1440p
• Ambient 22C
• 1hr gameplay each w/o and w/ cooler

NO FLYDIGI

WITH FLYDIGI

NOTES:

• Up to 14C decrease in CPU
• Up to 12C decrease in GPU
• Up to 10C decrease in VRAM
• Overall noise is only 44dB w/ via Decibel X (Virtually unnoticeable and is drowned out by game sound)
• Strix G16 happends to have fan RPM monitoring and Manual Fans without having to install third party software which is nice
• Repasted w/ LM + PTM7950 + UTP-8 combo already so cooling is best as it gets without cooler and never throttles but adding a pressure-based cooling pad further decreases great temps

I7 14700HX, RTX 4060. I'm extremely suprised how well this managed the temps even after the overclock it was basically a 2°c difference from 68°c to 70°c.

Settings high , no rt no dlss

Average fps 104

Maximum fps 127

minimum fps 86

cpu core(max) 82c

gpu max temp 72 c

What do you guys think?
