Any updates on if any media outlet tested this at all? Kind of sad this post didn't get much traction.

Don't know if y'all remember but back when Intel announced these chips they had a whole section about the new chips got some new Hybrid technology that allows people to render videos while using Unreal engine at the same time. (See 8 min mark in the video.) Seems like all the outlets has just forgotten about this or don't have time to test this claim. Anyone got a 13th gen CPU to test these claims? Like honestly for the longest time I feel like this kind of benchmark was missing from many of the outlets (probably because they are hard to control). Like I have had so many isntances where I wanted to game while doing "work" but couldn't because my CPU sucks. Someone should test like gaming performance while rendering or compiling or even just running some code.

Honestly I dunno if this will be helpful and I don't have experience with this board but when I fuck up the bios sometimes removing a stick of ram helps. Good luck.

Hi, I'm looking for an inexpensive monitor that is color accurate and has good text clarity as a vertical second monitor. Feel like media and reviewers don't cover this area a lot. I don't care about anything beyond 60hz, I would rather use that money for good color accuracy. I am going to be mostly coding or doing some productivity work on this monitor, maybe some light photo work and media consumption but that's about it. Thanks.

Appreciate the reply. Although the TUF is anything but thin and light. I should clarify that the GPU requirements are low, like CSGO or LoL level. To the point where I think a MX series could be enough. Emphasis on quality and footprint, basically anything under 1000 that has a nice screen and battery life would be a plus. Like a MacBook that can do a bit of compute on Windows.

Does a laptop like this even exist or is it still mostly reserved for Intel? The GPU is mostly for light CUDA workloads.

4 - 5 hours of battery life is okay. I would prefer a reputable brand. I was thinking of the Lenovo Y530.

I can probably live with a 1050Ti.

After reading your past posts, it seems like you have a history of not being able to start games. What GPU and graphics drivers version are you running?

So it's a Fortnite specific issue? You're on the latest drivers and other games don't crash your PC? Have you tried reinstalling the game? If it's really a Fortnite specific issue I feel like a Fortnite specific forum would have more info. Also you can configure Windows to dump files: http://mywindowshub.com/how-to-configure-windows-10-to-create-dump-files-on-bsod/

Have you updated your graphics drivers? Usually if you wait for a minute or so when it freezes it'll eventually BSOD. You can check C:\Windows\Minidump for bluescreen dumps, if there's nothing there just set it up and crash the PC again.

R6, Fortnite, RL. Some single-player games like Doom sometimes. High would be preferable.

Does it not bluescreen? So nothing else goes wrong except for the monitor losing signal? All the other parts (keyboard, fans, motherboard) still have power? I would recommend setting everything to default. Maybe it's a monitor issue? Do you lose audio? I assume you're running if CPU graphics and the HDMI cable on the motherboard. Maybe it's a graphics driver issue?

Do you have a bluescreen code?

Aero 14 used to fit this category pretty well but somehow they stopped making them. Target is 60 fps on a 1080p IPS screen. Under 5 pounds and 1500 USD. These laptops don't seem to exist anymore. I know the XPS 15 fits this category but 3 of my friends bought one at various times and they all had QC issues. Aero 14 was great because it was 4 pounds, 2 mm thick yet still packed 7 hours of battery life with no thermal issues. Laptops like that cost almost $2000 now, I feel like laptop manufacturers are capitalizing on the GPU price hike. Thanks for any suggestions beforehand.
