    That is Dynamic Boost working as intended.
    Try disabling it: In Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings > Power Management Mode > Prefer Max Perf

    If you have that much budget, go for desktop+laptop.

    genexis_x reacted to Darkseth in What is better? Ryzen 6900HS and RTX 3060 120w TDP vs Ryzen 5900HS and RTX 3080 at 80w-100w TDP   
    3080 with 80-100 Watt will NOT be twice as fast as a 120w 3060.
    At best, the lower Wattage can be countered with a higher Shadercount, but i don't see the 3080 be faster than maybe 20-30%?
    If it were a 165w max-TDP 3080, it would be an entirely different story.
     
    But still, the "bigger Chip" at a similar TDP, is faster.
    I've had a Desktop GTX 1060 MSI Gaming X, that consumed 140 Watt @ Stock, and upgraded to a GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X. Same model, bigger Chip.
    i undervolted the GTX 1080 pretty hard down to 140 watt (215w~ @ Stock), and it was still much stronger than the 1060 was at the same Power consumption.
     
    Still, a 80w RTX 3080 will not be much faster than a 120w GTX 1060.
     
    But you really have to tell us which Laptops they are, otherwise we can only guess how fast it will be in the end.
    Aside from the TDP, the Laptop's Cooling System is also important for that.

    genexis_x reacted to RageTester in overheating cpu (93-96C) on gaming laptop   
    What idle temperature?
    If it's hot even without running anything, it's dried up  thermal paste.
    Else you are just pushing it too hard, using fps limiter on laptops is a must.
     
    Keyboard being hot would be normal under heavy load, another sign of bad heat dissipation.

    genexis_x reacted to bmx6454 in Can i add a 1 TB 2.5" hdd to my laptop? my laptop is dell g15 ryzen 7 rtx 3050 ti   
    afaik, there is no way to add an hdd to this as there isn't a 2.5 bay, or disk drive, so no sata. you could use an external drive through usb though.

    No.
     
    The only decent prebuilt is from Legion Towers (2020 or 2021 models), practical yet not too pricey

    genexis_x reacted to Levent in Bad battery causing thermal throttling?   
    No
    Your computer most likely needs a deep cleaning (disassembling it and cleaning it internally) and a fresh application of thermal paste.

    genexis_x reacted to Qyygle in Mux switch   
    The MUX is technically both physical and software. Having the ability to switch just means the hard connections on the motherboard are present for the dGPU to both send to the iGPU and send directly to the display.
     
    The BIOS or software component is the ability for you to direct which route to use. Without a MUX, the default is to route through the iGPU, otherwise you would not have the ability to output with that, and save battery via Optimus. Advanced Optimus is an software version of using the MUX, where the laptop supposable 'automatically' routes direct to the dGPU or iGPU depending on use. Almost every implementation of this I've seen reviewed to date has noted it's pretty buggy at best.

    genexis_x reacted to Dedayog in i7-11800h only has 4 cores even though i7 are considered higher end cpus, why?   
    It's an 8 core, 16 thread CPU.

    genexis_x reacted to BobVonBob in Throttle CPU when PC is inactive   
    There's your problem. Turn it to balanced. High performance locks your CPU at its max speed. Balanced will still let it get up to max speed, but it won't lock it there. Minimal if any performance loss when actually doing something intense.

    16+4? So only 8GB of that is in dual channel speed, rest is single channel. memory speed have big impact on iGPU performance you know.

    You likely have display scaling other than 100% in Windows and those apps that look crud are those that don't support it natively.

    Those are desktop cpu's and cpubenchmark is unreliable at best.
     
    Those are also desktop cards you are comparing and it's not even the correct one to begin with. Also cpubenchmark is as I said at best unreliable.

    Definitely a good laptop. Surprised me in a few areas after using it for a few days, slightly exceeding my expectations (ady knew a lot about it before).
     
    Will post a written review, but not in LTT forum. I have moved all my reviews to my personal blog, so I will post there instead. https://genexisx.blogspot.com/
