Can you tell us the best gpu driver settings for a good performance of the laptop

[imaduck]

Should i get this, or the HP Victus (i5 12th gen + GTX 1650)

the Katana is 200 more expensive, so which is more worth it

[abubachir_trahov]

Hi! I would like to know about CPU Thermal Throttling, what is it? As far as I know, throttling has a bad effect on the CPU. And in your video, trottling is constantly working... Please explain more about this, maybe I don't understand something.

[changshaaawang]

hey thanks for the vid! I have an MSI Katana gf66 i5 11400 processor for a bit cheaper do you think it is worth it?

CPU Temperatures higher. Why you write too small CPU temperatures? We see real CPU temperatures !

[rankforce]

What's that different into i5 11400H and 12500H in fps? My laptop is the same model, but that core it's i5 11400H

[zolifa]

[chocogato]

Hola una duda, se podrá jugar el gta vi cuando salga en esta laptop?

[dobrus]

You write cpu temp max for example 88 degrees celcius but on the overlay i see cpu is throttling all the time and temp is 95-97 degrees celcius. So how it can be max 88 while its 95?

[MohamedamineSaassougui]

[Nazmul.Alam_]

Is it possible to install a 2.5'' SATA HDD on this laptop?
