I had this happen on my Legion 5 Pro 2021 with RTX 3070 and I noticed that while this happened, the charging LED at the back would also start flickering, indicating a charger connectivity issue. I went to my nearby Lenovo store, tried out a different charger with same wattage, played for 30 min and the issue did not happen. Got the charger replaced under warranty and its been working fine since. I would suggest checking the charging LED while you game and see if it flickers at all, accompanied with the wattage/FPS drops. Good luck.

Oof, a 250$ jacket from LTT Store? So is LTT now a luxury clothing brand?

Yeah, I did not understand the comparison to Sony too. If anything, they should've thrown shade at Nintendo for the lazy Switch OLED upgrade. And that too in terms of features for a refresh version of the devices, not for the money they charge.

Appreciate the comparison. But this just got me thinking, the software bug was just caught when LTT dropped the video with the included shipping costs the first time. Does that mean the other customers who have been ordering from out of US (probably Canada specific bug?) have been paying double the import duty and Starforge has been just pocketing the money? Sure, LTT got the refund back, but does Starforge have any data/idea of the people affected by this bug? Any updates on the affected customers would have been a good addition to the video as well. I hope they clarify this at some point in the future.

As many here have already mentioned, this video without a testing phase of different refresh rates is incomplete. Also, what makes this incomplete is the use of just high end hardware for the testing. Sure, Linus did mention the impact will be even more, but just how much more. Having a 1440p 144Hz monitor with a side 1080p 1440Hz on a RTX 3060Ti/RTX 3070 class of GPU is not unusual and should be a pretty common config among people. Why not test those and find out just exactly how much it affects the performance then? I sometimes really get tired of such findings only being limited to high end hardware when most common people might not have it.

Hmm, I wonder what a lesbian pianist has to do with a geothermal loop cooling?

I agree . This video is not a good look on LTT What's worse is they still have the affiliate links for viewers to buy vtech products they showcased. Unsuspecting viewers might not be aware of the security concerns and may buy them.

Sorry, a storage/servers noob here, but don't these convertors from NVMe M.2 to the server sled format create more points of failure? Are these convertors also enterprise level (low failure rate and such)? And also, this solves the issues of the drive replacement, but checking which drive has failed, is that something their server software can let them know of or they have to keep checking which one failed? Probably the indicator LEDs on top of each drive bay?

Seems like a CPU bottleneck. Are you using ray tracing in the game? If so, you are certainly being bottlenecked by the CPU as this and Miles Morales both are extremely CPU demanding with raytracing on. Try disabling or decreasing ray tracing quality. Also, what resolution are you using? If it is 1080p, why use DLSS? RTX 3060 should be able to handle Spiderman on native 1080p res without much issues. Disabling DLSS would also increase GPU utilisation and take some load off of CPU. Try that.

You are getting heavily bottlenecked by the CPU, unless you are playing on a GPU bound resolution/settings such as 1440p/4K without DLSS, ultra settings. That i5 is quite old now and cannot really keep up with the RTX 3080 in latest titles. Try lowering just the CPU bound settings such as population density, foliage and keep the rest of the settings on high to allow GPU utilization. At lower settings and lower res, you start becoming even more CPU bound, hence less FPS. And remember, Hogsmeade, is the CPU killer. I go from 70-80FPS to 40-50 in Hogsmeade on my RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800H laptop at 1440p using DLSS quality. Edit: Oh and Ray Tracing is trash in this game. No need to enable it, ever. It is buggy and causes all sorts of light leakage in indoor areas and doesn't even apply to water surfaces.

This was a great video showing the concepts that Framework is working on and looks like it might benefit even other brands. But I am seriously disappointed with the title and thumbnail choice. My interpretation of the title was - 'I done goofed supporting Framework, they are going down, I am ditching them'. Like seriously, with content as interesting as here, why use a shitty title? I realize it has to do with views and reach, but a more appropriate title could've been selected.

As I can see this is a desktop, so disabling it would not cause issues as long as you are not plugging in the DP/HDMI to the motherboard. Hell, it might even give you a benefit if you disable it, as atleast on laptops, integrated graphics take up a chunk of your RAM to use as VRAM. My laptop Ryzen 7 5800H uses 2GB, but came with a default of 4GB allocation to integrated GPU. If you have tons of RAM, it might not be an issue, like I had 32GB, so can spare a few more to iGPU, but if you have 16GB or so memory, every bit counts, especially while playing games on higher res/settings as I assume you might be doing if you have the 7900XTX.

What has type of view got to do with RAM utilization? Anyways, yeah, it is a pretty demanding game. I would say weirdly demanding since I hit heavy CPU bottleneck if I go below High settings on my laptop Legion 5 Pro, with RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 5800H with 32GB RAM at 1080p and the view is blurry too. Hence a mix of High-Ultra at 1440p with DLSS quality on a 1080p monitor looks perfectly good with some sacrifice to textures due to 8GB VRAM. Edit: As for the game itself, I have spent around 12 hours on this game since I bought it Saturday and this is the most amount of time I have ever spent on a newly purchased game in just a small number of days. It really is a pretty detailed game in terms of lore and content and can't wait to get back from work today to play again.

Well, that was a useless video. Just throw a build together, get sponsers, get Linus to be goofy and there we have it, video of the day. Not trying to hate anyone, I love LTT content, but from time to time, there are videos that have very little entertainment value.

Lol you still don't get @lostcattears point. They are talking how even laptop components are able to hit very good FPS at very high resolutions and hence the no compromise on the performance. A few short years ago, this wasn't possible. The leaps with which laptop components have progressed in performance is substantial and though you could argue that they get hot, which laptop components are designed to be and it is very normal to see temperatures such as 85-90 on the CPU and around 80-85 on GPU on a laptop. You just can't keep comparing laptop temperatures vs a desktop. Comparing a desktop 3090 to a 2070 laptop in terms of temperatures at full tilt is just dumb. You can't just dismiss the space advantages the RTX 3090 desktop has. Just compare the volume of your laptop and the desktop. And if you are hitting above 80C with that RTX2070 laptop on idle, something is definitely wrong with your machine and you need to get it checked out.

Lies told by the manufacturers? Mate I am speaking from my personal experience and I never believe whatever crap manufacturers say about their laptop cooling solutions. I always rely on 2-3 laptop review sites/reviewers before making my personal buying decisions. Sure, your laptop does sound like a jet engine. Have you ever once cleaned the fans? Using it on a proper flat surface so that fans are not choking for air intake? Have you set your laptop to always run in Performance/Ultra mode or whatever it is called in the Asus Armoury Crate software? Jeez mate, calm down with the exaggaration. You think every model and brand has this problem? Everyone of the millions/billions of people using laptops in the world have the same problem after 9 months? Have you tested every model of every brand of laptop under the sun? Look mate, I am not trying to start a war here, nor am I invalidating your experience. But you speaking about every model/brand having the same problem as you are currently having or had with your laptop purchases is a gross generalization. You might also have to accept the fact that you have been extremely unlucky with the fans on your laptops over the years or either there is something else contributing to this repeating issue on every one of your laptop. That being said, I am again interested in seeing the performance and thermals of the individual laptops with RTX 40 series cards before I start recommending them to my friends/families who need them.

When you say nothing has changed, you are clearly being ignorant. There are good laptop cooling designs and there are bad laptop cooling designs. I have always considered laptops as a complete package and with adequate research on the types of cooling they have and how cool they can keep the components. Before my Legion 5 Pro, I have had 2 other laptops, one was gaming from HP and the other was a normal thin and light with a dGPU from Acer. They were by no means high end laptops, but they still delivered the same experience as when I had first bought them till the time I sold them off. Hell, both the laptops were sold to my friends/family and they are still using it, with the thin and light one still being used for college education around 6 years later. There is a very high possibility that you have just been unlucky with your laptops. If what you say is true and every thin and light needs cooling replacements within a few months, then there would not have been such a huge market for them. I definitely agree that one will get a much better price/performance building a desktop at the same price range as a good gaming laptop, but I bought a laptop because I needed one. I am constantly moving between cities and need my computer with me. I am also planning to go to a different country this year and I hate to think the pain it might have been to carry huge gaming desktop with me, alongwith the peripherals such as a monitor. At this point you are just exaggerating. Or thinking about laptops like the Acer Predator 21X, which were never designed to be used as a laptop for normal people. Also, most, if not all gaming laptops these days have some form of fan control software built-in or a third party one available. I have set mine to never turn on fans unless the temps go above 50-55C and it never does whenever I am browsing or watching Netflix/Prime Video or even doing light office work.

Oh wow. Have you even looked at any of the recent gaming laptops from Lenovo, Asus, MSI? They are so much more powerful yet are not too bulky, still provide around 6-7 hours of battery life in non-gaming workloads and the fans don't even sound like jet engines anymore. I have a Legion 5 Pro with an RTX 3070 which is somewhere in the performance level between the desktop RTX 3060Ti and RTX 3070. It is very easily able to hit ~80-90 FPS on Forza Horizon 5 on Ultra settings at 1440p and around 70-80 FPS on COD MW2 on Ultra settings at 1080p. And these numbers are without DLSS or any other image reconstruction tech. While being just 2.5kgs in weight (around 3.3 with adapter). The Legion Slim series is even more impressive. My point being, you can get a very good performance in a laptop now and the days of playing games on lowest settings while the fans sounding like engines are gone, unless you are trying to use 6-7 years old laptop to play recent titles.

Hey! Just want to point out that you mentioned your dad using weird applications on his laptop, right? If those are Windows based apps, I would recommend asking him if their Mac counterparts are even available. In case they are, then you should be fine with switching to Mac, else you might be limited to Windows machines.

Agree on the graphs part. Like how hard is it to arrange them based on the performance numbers? Why is 294 avg. FPS for Shadow of the Tomb Raider for 13600k below 255 avg. FPS for 12700k? The graphs ARE the reviews for such things and as soon as they are wrongly ordered/numbered/represented, the review video becomes a chore to sit through. Please LTT team, get someone to look at the video entirely before releasing it.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it makes sense.

Misleading title tbh. This is for Android 13 Go edition which people will only be running on some really low-end devices.

Windows 11 has a sort of a bug with the taskbar when using multiple monitors (atleast in dual monitor setups) where if you have the start menu open while connecting a monitor or switching modes between Duplicate, Second screen only, or PC screen only, the start menu either just gets stuck on the taskbar or does this weird thing where the start menu is behind the taskbar and does not move. I used to face this almost on a daily basis on my personal laptop (which is on Windows 11) when I connected my external monitor, but not on my work laptop which is still on Windows 10. The only solution to this would be to close the start menu before connecting an external monitor or changing modes. I have not looked through Windows 11 known issues so do not know if this is a bug that is known or reported. I should probably look in the feedback hub and report this is not already. Hope this helps. Edit: in case the start menu is already stuck, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and restart the Windows Explorer.

Clickbait BS title aside, this was an interesting trailer of the hopefully upcoming in-depth video of the stuff that happens in there. I got so mad when the video ended abruptly. It felt even shorter than a 2 min teaser of a movie. Also, I wouldn't mind a full fat 30 min or more video for the in-depth version.

So, you have to pay to have character animation in Main Menu? Are basic animations also considered DLC now? Boy, I am scared for the future of gaming industry if companies starting pulling this crap. I can understand, emotes, holosprays, skins in MMO/BR/FPS games, but for a game this simple, atleast the animations should be included. Is this the first game ever to have such animations (talking about main menu animations) getting monetized? Edit: Just saw that you also have to purchase the Premium Fun Pack to get harder difficulty levels? That is scummy as hell.
