I have been using a laptop for more than 8 months. The latest BIOS (1.5.1). Video Drivers - Latest DCH.

In general, the laptop is more than satisfied. It is important from time to time (every 2-4 months) to clean the cooling system. The larger fan clogs particularly well with dust. There, it directly accumulates in lumps.

Friends, help me figure it out !! I wanted to play Metro: Exodus on my G3 !! and terrible brakes began, and on minimums !! then I installed the game on my old PC and the game flew surprisingly at ultra settings (though in low resolution) !! G3 I have a core-i5 8300h 2300, 8Gb, gti 1050, and a PC core-i3 2500k 3300, 8Gb, radeon hd 6900 !! The point is in the settings ?? what can be done to optimize the laptop ??

No, I checked it first thing, and just turned it on forcibly discrete! The only thing the PC is more powerful than the laptop is in the processor frequency, maybe this is the case ??

The update was disabled immediately after the purchase of the laptop, although I will check what version it costs !!
By the way, 7ka is installed on the PC, and 10ka on the laptop !! Maybe this is the case ??

I have a similar laptop. with two “buts”, the second bracket is set at 8GB + ssd nvme (playing on ssd) at maximum speeds without rtx, bluer and highwork everything goes fine with rare drawbacks in the Caspian. (the broken game is not a license without hotfixes)
Is the laptop connected to the mains during the game? In addition to the subway, is anything running?

* Evil_Moderate,

Well, the RAMs on both computers are 8GB, so they’ve got it, this also costs ssd and everything on it. all programs are turned off except for system ones. the toy is also broken. I didn’t think the only thing about the power supply from the network, I don’t remember whether I was connected to the network during the launch)) The Witcher 3 started at maximum speed !!

* FAIRMENTAT,

Well, I mean the 6900 series !! now I don’t remember which particular model, and it doesn’t matter ... the bottom line is that the card is much older and weaker (2GB vs 4GB) !!

"weight: 2.53 kg" for 15 pieces
Measured, really: 2.5 kg for HDD + SSD
Without HDD, probably 2.35kg.

What is your BIOS version?

In short, this laptop just has a jamb ... In the latest version of BIOS there is a fucking control of coolers depending on temperature. Coolers are just starting to start in 5 seconds at 80+ degrees (like 87) and because of this, wild trotting has time to start, because under 100% load, the temperature manages to jump to 100 degrees. At the forum, there was a panic about this, but the matter was just poher ... They released an update for g5-g7 laptops, and on g3 they scored.

It turned out a critical flaw, which was probably worth considering when buying - on a 1050 3840x2160 card, only 30 MHz, 4k monitors drop out of the race: '- (

Does the 1060 have a 4k 60mhz mode?



Rep: (2)
BIOS version 1.5 if memory does not change. I wanted to clarify on the affairs website and saw that 1.0.2 was lying there as recommended - unexpectedly. So tomorrow I'll try to do a downgrade.

I'm a little foolish and confused

Monitor withhdmi 1.4 It only gives 30 MHz in 4k, in the monitor menu also its maximum mode is 4k 30 MHz. When connected to normal 1080 via mini dp 4k produces 60 MHz, i.e. It's not about the monitor, but in hdmi.
It is confusing that in the choice of 1050 modes there is no 4k 60 MHz, only 30 MHz.

The question is, given that our dells have hdmi 2.0, 1050 just does not display inaccessible modes for 1.4? Or 4k 60mhz will not even be if you connect a monitor with hdmi 2.0? Notebook 1050 generally supports 4k 60mhz?
