Hi there, I'm a little bit late to the game, as I'm normally on Tom's Hardware forum. Like others, I've a similar HP Omen laptop. The issue you are experiencing is mostly to do with Command Centre, and the settings it applies when in the different modes. The idea behind 'Performance mode' is...

Is it a smart tv? If so, simply format the USB at the windows default, I think it's fat32 or NTFS, I can't remember :) Bang a vid on to it, and start the integrated player. That should do it. If it's not a smart tv, you need some sort of player to watch the movies. That can be by a DVD/player...

Use MSI afterburner, and set up the OSD (on screen display ) to monitor your CPU/GPU/Ram usage and temps during game play. Take a screenshot and post it here. If anything is hitting 100% that would cause issues. Let us know how you get on.

It depends on the game. For example, if you were playing BF1/V with 8gbs system ram, then I can understand why you are getting stuttering. Also, if you are playing at 1080p 60hz, the the GTX970 with 4gbs of vram will come into play, and could also cause stuttering. If you are sure you got the...

They will both perform nearly indentically from the specs. Keep in mind both have a GTX1060, which means for practically every game out there, you will not get near 144hz/FPS. So, in that case, I'd go with whicever one looks best to you, and is cheapest. What is your current lappie specs with...

Well, we can't really tell you that. The Fire Stick will work on any network. It depends on what service providers are in your area, and what offerings they have. For streaming services like the FIre Stick, it's mostly about download speeds. You might also want to consider a provider that...

Do you have the laptop? If so, there should be a sticker on it, that tells you the model number which you can look up. If you saw this online, post a link, then we can tell you. Otherwise, we could only guess at the details, because it's likely that HP will have various different models which...

The simple answer is the GPU. It will give the grunt to drive the graphical goodness in game. With that said the CPU is almost as important. A good CPU with ample resources will drive more FPS from the GPU, rather than a slower CPU, with less cores and threads which may bottleneck a high end...

Oky, first things first, you need to give more information. Please list your exact laptop model. Then we can at least see what hardware you have, and help diagnose more easily. What are you using to monitor the usage?

If it's a choice of the three, then I'd suggest the Dell. It has a bigger SSD and the better of the GPU's and more importantly for your use, a better CPU. From a hardware point of view that's the one I'd take. With regard to lightweight, that's purely subjective. They may all weigh in and...

your welcome :) happy gaming

sounds like the bios isn't saving the changes. make sure you press the right option when exiting the bios to save the settings.

it should be F2/F8/Delete key or something. Look in your manual that came with the laptop. It should actually say on screen as the laptop boots up. i found this: http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2726872/omen-intel-integrated-graphics-nvidia.html it may be your answer. Go to the...

You possible just have to go to the bios, and disable the onboard iGPU.
