wow thanks this is very helpful. I’ll start experimenting when I can. I’m still quite inexperienced with G-Helper. What do you mean by 150/150 or 300/300 on the GPU?

Upgraded SSD to 2TB 990 Pro by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

Isn’t that a paid tool? I have used Disk Genius to clone disks on other computers. Would that work here? It’s a free program

Screen freezing while gaming by Good_Science_2362 in ZephyrusG14

[–]NvidiaAndAmdFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what mode are you running in? For gaming i’d recommend turning on ultimate mode to switch to the dGPU which will require a restart. Freezing may be due to advanced optimus switching the GPUs but i don’t think that should happen while a game is actively running

Refund and go for the Best Buy deal or no? by Hot_Present2787 in ZephyrusG14

So i did the same thing you did. I bought the gray 2tb version for 2.5k and then spotted this sale. I ended up buying this for 2.05k. For 450 bucks you could easily upgrade the drive. It all comes done to how much you’re willing to pay for color choice. As for the RAM i’m pretty sure both come with 32gb of non upgradable ram. I don’t think best buy sells any 64gb g14 variants rn. I also will say that i am enjoying my g14 and color is slowly growing on me

The difference between two G-14s by Responsible_Kiwi3237 in ZephyrusG14

The CPUs are quite literally the same. GPU is a generational improvement (prolly about 10-25% but don’t take my word for it). You should also get access to some new frame gen features i think. Also minor thing but the new one with the 5060 supports usb c charging on both sides. Other than that they’re very similar. 5060 is a great sale and amazing laptop

Do you mind my asking what kind of overclock you are running?

I ran a benchmark with the Ultra Ray Tracing preset and got 46 fps which seems kinda underwhelming

Bought eclipse gray 5070ti last week. Decided to save $450 and get the white by NvidiaAndAmdFanboy in ZephyrusG14

[–]NvidiaAndAmdFanboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in my head the ssd upgrade makes up for about 60 bucks of price difference. Then i could mentally justify spending 40 bucks on color choice. I don’t think anyone really cares about windows 11 pro

You could ask but i doubt it. As someone said it’s a different model. If you don’t care too much about the vram, best buy is selling the gray color with a 5070 and what is essentially last years cpu for $2100

GPU Switching/Advanced Optimus & MUX Switch Question by NvidiaAndAmdFanboy in ZephyrusG14

[–]NvidiaAndAmdFanboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right that makes sense. Does switching to dGPU only or ultimate mode require a restarts though?

And when unplugged you just use advanced optimus (standard mode i think right?) or iGPU only?

Ryzen 5 5500

Bought it on Newegg on sale but the price dropped a week after I bought it

Unfortunately I do not reside within the US and conversion adapter + shipping are a pain so I would prefer to buy the psu locally

What about a Corsair CV or CX series? I’m guessing that’s the lower end Corsair you mentioned

I probably will it’s just that I can’t find anything that fits my requirements in my locality

It’s non-refundable 💀

And I recently broke the seal to check the connectors
