A few days ago, I received my new laptop, a HyperX OMEN 15 (Ryzen 7 8745HX and RTX 5060), and everything was working perfectly. However, two days ago, after coming home from university, I switched the MUX switch in the OMEN Gaming Hub application, and nothing changed. The RTX GPU remained disabled, and the integrated GPU was being used all the time, even when launching a game.

I switched between the graphics modes several more times, but it still made no difference. I then reinstalled OMEN Gaming Hub, the drivers from the HP website, and all available Windows updates. Only after a few minutes did the RTX GPU finally reappear in Task Manager as the second GPU.

Since then, every time I switch to Hybrid Mode or Integrated Graphics Only Mode, the RTX drivers simply disappear, and it takes around 20 minutes to get them working again.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common issue?

Budget: $2500

Country: US

Use Case: Gaming

Preferred Specs/Form Factor: best value

Portability Needs: desk queen

Notes: I want to be able to play most games at decent fps (30fps+). Ive been researching and looking through this sub and i keep seeing new terms and other things i dont understand, so ill trust the experts here. Im upgrading from a 3050 laptop.

Can you please help me know whether this lenovo laptop extra storage tray is compatible with this SanDisk WD SSD? I have basic knowledge on electronics so I am asking this before purchasing this SSD, so that when it does finally arrive, and I get it installed only to find they are either not compatible or doesn't fit, Thank you for helping me.

Hey guys, wanted to share some real-world benchmark data from a maintenance job I just finished:

https://youtu.be/Jz4oQcztXEg?si=m3KcuOEcL9Cfj-SR

The Results:

• CPU Temps: Dropped from 100°C down to ~80°C under heavy load (-20°C drop).
• GPU Score: Increased by +43% in synthetic benchmarks once throttling stopped.
• DaVinci Resolve 4K Export: Significantly faster render times and zero timeline lag.

I made a detailed teardown and benchmark video covering the whole process and thermal charts if anyone wants to see the step-by-step or exact numbers.

Hello everyone, I'm a passing out college student who has all through his life used a Dell Inspiron 3000 Series laptop for 6+ years. I have done coding, Image Processing, heavy ML works, graphics deigning even multiprocessing programming in that. But now I have gotten a good job offer , I want to buy my first laptop (gaming or heavy workload type ) which will be great for 10 years (I hope). Some details:

Budget: INR 1.2-1.5 lakhs
Country: India
Use Case: Coding/Gaming
Preferred Specs: RTX 4060 minimum, 16+ GB RAM, 1 TB SSD
Notes: Upgradeable slots if possible

Price Range - within 1.2-1.3 lakhs ( all inclusive )
Brands - anyhting works, I just want a reliable and sturdy one. I don't want Macbook
Processors - i7, Ultra 7 or Ryzen 7 is minimum
GPU - I want a seperate strong GPU, not an integrated one
RAM - 16 GB, Secondary - 1TB
Use - Coding, CV and ML Processing, Grahics designing, Video Editing and if possible gaming

If possible upgradable slots inside the laptop is very good and also good battery and strong body ( I have a bad tendency to carry laptop in my hand).

Does anyone have good suggestions for this, especially considering Diwali sale offers etc ?

How is an open box laptop with with excellent condition has more than 50% off?!!

Almost every laptop I saw with this condition has only 400$ discount

Edit: someone on the sub posted this deal. I can't find it or buy it . I am just asking if this could even be real

so i have this weird problem where sometimes in games when i click a key eg W it stays for like 4 seconds longer than it supposed too, so i think its cause my laptop (victus 15) is throttling cuz my laptop cpu is almost always at 100c, it could be becasuse of dirt in keys but i think its overheating so any advice

All of a sudden so many ants are coming out of the ventilation port. It is an omen i7 laptop. I don't know what to do. Sooooo manyyyy antssss!! I ran my computer for around 2 hours and now I think there are no more ants.

What step should I do next? Maybe clean it with a technician and get some cover ?? Somebody please help with your experience 🙏

Looking for couch gaming laptop

Hey everyone! I was going to get an msi claw ex, but decided a gaming laptop would be more worth it. My budget is around 1900 and I just can't decide between these 3

1.ASUS ROG Strix G16 G615LP-MS96 16 1899$

1. MSI Crosshair 16 Max HX OLED 16" Gaming Laptop 1999$

2. Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 OLED 1999$

The msi crosshair seems the most powerful, but bad review for build quality and sound. The rog seems perfect except no oled. Lenovo i know the least about.

Any ideas?

Budget: 1900

Country: Ohio USA

Use Case: (Optional: Gaming — cyberpunk, cod, wow, battlefield

Preferred Specs: (5070 or so. Oled maybe?

Notes: (Optional: looking mainly at microcenter

Yes, I wanted the 18-inch screen. This will mainly be used for playing FPS games like Overwatch/Deadlock, so I wanted the bigger screen and the lower resolution.

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507 Series with Ryzen 7 8845HS, NVIDIA GeForce 4050(6gb), 16 gb ram, 512 SSD, 90Wh battery, 100+ TGP, 100% sRGB, 144Hz display, FULL HD/ 1080p (1920×1080) .What will be the store price in indian rupee?

I need it for classes,Autocad and video or photo editing+ gaming.

Hi! My laptop model is Lenovo LOQ 15ARP10E. Your options don't list this exact model. Will the Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 skin fit my laptop, or should I select the generic 15.6-inch (15 × 10 inch) option? Please confirm the compatibility before I order. Thank you!

Budget: ( $1500)

Country: (USA)

Use Case: ( Online Gaming )

Notes: What's best Gaming Laptop for budget max of $1500. I'm new to this side of gaming and have no clue what to look for. Looking to maybe buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday please drop links if you can thanks!

Budget: ($1200+)
Country: (USA)
Use Case: (Gaming)
Preferred Specs: (GPU, CPU, RAM, storage I really don’t know)
Notes: (Hi! So I’ve never had a gaming laptop before, and I’m looking on getting one. I don’t have a budget, anything goes as long as it’s worth the price. I currently have a MacBook, and I’m looking to get a second computer for gaming. I need it to support steam and other games that can only be run on a widows device. I am a casual gamer, but I plan to play games like Fnaf into the pit and security breach, so I would like to be able to run that even if the quality isn’t perfect. I am very uneducated in this field so i apologize for any dumb or out of pocket questions. Anything else i should know? Oh yeah and would I need any accessories? I feel like i had more questions but this is it for now. Thank you ok all.)

I have all the drivers I need but it's still saying this? Idk what to do. My audio is working fine I just wanted to customize it like I can everything else

Budget: ( 800 with tax)

Country: (USA)

Use Case: (Optional: Gaming — hoi4, city skylines 2, School)

Preferred Specs: ( 1 tb)

Note ( preferably solded by Walmart)

Budget: $3500 CAD (a little flexible)

Country: Canada

Use Case: Games like Anno, Planet Zoo, RDR2, Crimson Desert, newer games

Preferred Specs / Form Factor: 15-16", battery doesn't matter, 5070ti or 5080, 32gb ram, I like sleek designs like Zephyrus, Razer Blade, Legion etc..

Portability Needs: Desktop replacement

Notes: I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with a RTX 4050 6gb, i7-12700H, and 16gb of ram. I feel the bottleneck from the GPU and ram with new games, and it gets so hot it can burn my fingers if I come off the keyboard and touch the chassis, even raised with good airflow. I've also had some other minor issues with it since I got it. It was cheap and on sale and I had no laptop when I got it, definitely more of a what I could afford situation. I want to keep this as a computer for school and get a desktop replacement laptop for gaming.

I like the chassis of the Zephyrus for looks.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is obviously nice but it is out of budget where I am ($5000 CAD right now $900 off). The 5i with a RTX 5070 and 32gb is $2600 with no sale right now, but I don't know if I should go for a 5080. The MSI Vector A16 with a RTX 5080 32gb is $1000 off sitting at $3500 but I don't know if I trust MSI, and that's the top of my budget. Primarily looking at Memory Express because it's accessible to go in person.

I am a single mom so anything is a big purchase and I want to be thoughtful about it this time, and gaming is my main hobby living in rural Canada and winter is coming haha. I've saved up for something nicer that will hopefully last around 5 years.

Any advice is appreciated. I just want games to be pretty and run smooth and to be able to have shadows turned on. Usually a custom desktop girly but this season of life calls for a laptop.

Contender 1: Asus tuf A14 2024, Ryzen7 8845HS, 16GB, RTX4060, 2.5k 165Hz LCD 450 Nits

Contender 2: Asus tuf F16 2025, i7 14650HX, 32GB, RTX5050, FHD 165Hz LCD 300 Nits

Both are priced the same

Use case is casual gaming FPS and ocassional AAA and Content consumption. No work related use case.

I love the portability of the A14, but the specs of F16 seems enticing to pass out. How much would I miss If I go with the A14?

Hola gente, tengo una consulta:

Actualmente cuento con un equipo Asus rog strix G713PV-LL074X el cual actualmente lo tengo con una configuración de 24 de ram distribuidos en 8gb a 4800mhtz y el otro de 16gb a 5600. Con esto dicho, actualmente se me presento la posibilidad de comprar un modulo de segunda mano de 16 pero es a 4800mhtz ¿Existe una gran diferencia de rendimiento (fps) entre una frecuencia y otra?

¿O vale la pena esperar y comprar uno de 5600?
