Hi guys! Thinking of getting anew laptop (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07KS1JF2H/?coliid=I1KVFIFCNGVOGL&colid=2I9FLULXNAYJ0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1). It has a 2070 Max-Q DGPU. However it says that the display port is a USB-C port. I was wondering if the display port is connected to the DGPU or iGPU because I use an external monitor that runs at 1440P 144Hz. The model: asus rog zephyrus GX531GW Thanks in advance!

This is the performance from playing Metro Exodus for a while... it throttles at only 84 degrees for some reason

SO I have an alienware 17 r4 with a gtx 1080. I was playing Metro Exodus and there where periodic frame drops out of nowhere. So I kept MSI afterburner open in another monitor and played the same again and I noticed that the temperature of the GPU goes to 85 degrees and then suddenly thermal throttles down and repeats. How do I make it not throttle at such a low temperature? Its not even reaching 90 degrees before it throttles!

When I play certain games (usually online FPS games), my frames keep dropping every minute or so. I checked my task manager, and it shows my CPU at 100% usage during the game and then drops to 30%-40% when the sudden frame drops happen. I checked the temps of my GPU and CPU, and they are usually in the 80s. I honestly don't know whats causing this and how to fix it. Some help would be great! I have had my laptop (Alienware 17 R4), for over an year now. This has never happened in the past. It started about a few weeks ago. Specs: GTX 1080, i7-7820HK.

The CPU temps seemed pretty normal, plus in almost every single player game i play, this problem isnt there, I honestly cant seem to figure it out

I have been having fps drops when playing fps shooters like overwatch and rainbow six. I didn't really have this problem till like a month ago. I usually play on a 144HZ monitor at 1440p with g-sync on. The games run off my laptop which has a gtx 1080. What happens is the game starts off at 144 fps and then a few mins in it drops to like 15 FPS for a few seconds and then back to 144 FPS. Then this cycle repeats every 60 seconds or so. It makes the games nearly impossible to play. I tried re installing rainbow six, but the problem is still there. I did test the thermals yesterday while playing the game and it was at about 80-85 degrees. I do play league of legends and this problem isn't there. When I play single person games offline, like Wolfenstein 2, I didn't really have a problem at all (although I did have some fps drops every now and then while playing the Witcher 3 a few months ago.) Has anybody had this problem? Anyone know whats causing this?

So when I play the Witcher 3 (especially in cave scenes) I get these weird artifacts like in the video attached. Anyone know how to fix it? The Witcher 3_Trim.mp4

So I'm running borderlands the pre sequal on windows 10. I played it a bit back in 2017 and then stopped. I got a new PC this year and re downloaded the game off steam and played like 2 hours yesterday. I saved and quit. When I logged back in today my progress since yesterday has been deleted (I started off again where I stopped in 2017 when i logged in today). On the borderlands launcher, when I try to change the settings, before launching the game, I get this error (picture). I really dont know what to do. I did find a solution where I had to run cmd as admin and do something with the directory, but that didn't work. Anyone else had this problem and can help?

Shit I had no idea you needed to tune it each time a use a new mouse pad! It worked! Thanks!

On the amazon page it is quoted as follows: Superior control: Textile-weave surface designed for pixel-precise targeting and low friction tracking No Fray, No Fuss: Surrounded stitched edges guard against surface peeling for maximum durability' Accurate Plus Precise: Optimized for both laser and optical gaming mice Zero slip: Anti-skid rubber base helps it stay securely in place

How do you do that?

So i have a Logitech g502 spectrum mouse, that works fine on my old mouse pad. Then I bought a new extended mouse pad and suddenly it wont work! Anyone else have this problem? By wont work i mean the cursor skips on the screen (like lag), but when I use the old mouse pad it doesn't happen.

Yea, just need to clean the vents only. Just doing so should be enough right?

So, I wanna clean my Alienware laptop's fans and vents. Does anyone know how I should go about this? I prefer not to have to open up the laptop if possible. Also, if anyone personally owns one, do you know if there is a way to manually control the fans?

Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
