Well, thrilled to get what was originally advertised through all their YouTube promotions promising near Desktop performance in a laptop. 🙂

Now I'm busy going through all the newness to me in Windows 11 in getting things configured as I like. Already had to do some registry editing because Win11 highjacked the Documents and Photos folders and put them in OneDrive. They made that tougher than expected to re-assign those folders so they get saved locally instead. Also struggling getting used to the new start menu and right click context menus. Win11 definitely looks prettier, but having to fight my way through the unfamiliarity.

I may never get any projects done with all the custom tuning performance options built into this laptop. They have this real-time bios tuning app where you can adjust the wattage limits to the CPU and GPU. Just watched one of their custom wattage tuning tutorials showing how to get optimal frame rates while minimizing thermal and power supply throttling by adjusting wattages for different games where some games were more GPU intensive where others were more CPU intensive. I put the request in for them to make a tutorial for making one of these type of tutorial adjustments for us NLE content creator types, most of the video game tweaking stuff was way over my head. Just was able to figure out they were targeting getting around 200+ FPS @4K res from the games while reducing the overall thermal levels of the CPU and GPU by creating custom wattage adjustment profiles. 😄

This may make more sense to some of the tech folks here more familiar than myself.

They reduced the wattage limit to the CPU on a game they determined to be more GPU intensive, to get the combined temps of the CPU/GPU down by 10-15deg C while aiming for maintaining a 200FPS frame rate.

Definitely, something I'll play around with while going through the Vegas benchmark tests.

Curious how you do on the AI Torture Test... particularly how your laptop cooler with a 4080 does compared to the 4090 desktop currently at the top of the list.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing @john_dennis

I'm definitely going to dig into these things and excited to try out some Vegas benchmark tests. Currently working through setting up all the programs and connecting all my peripherals. Thrilled to finally have a PC with a TB4 connector to gain the benefits of having external SSDs with USB 3.1 Gen2 interfaces. Also been dabbling in the thought of setting up a RAM disk with the extra RAM I have for my audio work.
