For your RTX line of graphics cards, what's the main difference between the Ventus and Gaming X lineups?

With the hundreds of options when looking for a gaming laptop, it's hard to find the one that fully suites your needs. I hope this guide will help you. Note: This thread is targeted towards gamers that play the latest titles like battlefield 4...

Laptops used to be extremely inferior to desktops regarding performance and price, a desktop that costs $1000 several years ago had 2-3x the performance of a laptop for the same price. Today, that is changing, laptops are now powerful enough for every...

Depends on the title.

I'm looking for the best (don't care about price) Thunderbird to Outlook email conversion tool on the market. I'd love your feedback, especially if you've used one before.

Definitely a CPU issue, one of your cores looks like it was pegged at 100% load or was at 100% very frequently while in game.

Depends on the laptops your looking for, and what GPU docks your looking at. They all vary in price.

Are you gaming? It's physically impossible to only use the dGPU, if you tried to force only using the dGPU and manually disabled the IGPU, then you would get no video signal at all. Optimus works by having ALL PHYSICAL display connectivity connected DIRECTLY into the iGPU. When Optimus enabled...

Sounds like your CPU is unstable. Have you tried updating your BIOS?? Also is your system clean? Could be overheating.

You probably can get the game to boot, but with such an awfully weak GPU and no where near enough RAM, it would be a slideshow.
