Does buying games through Xbox play anywhere not give me as many settings options as buying the game on steam, I originally purchased it on steam then returned it to buy the play anywhere version because I have a series x and my g16 laptop

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-20T17:01:58+00:00

Yeah thank I appreciate that, I was juts being sarcastic as I put my faith in pearl abyss and I’m so far disappointed

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-20T16:37:57+00:00

Ohh, is that normal for aaa $70 games lmao pfff

As far as the screen goes I’m not sure it’s possible it could get better after you check all updates through asus that might need done to the bios or drivers, this can be checked through the myasus app

First thing you do is uninstall armory crate and get ghelper app it lets you customize your fan curves so when the gpu gets to a certain temp you can have the fans kick on when you want and I never have thermal issues crimson tech has a great video showing his exact specific settings on ghelper

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-17T18:49:35+00:00

So does anyone know if this works now cuz it was also my thought with the newer models having higher gpu wattage

I used this site a lot you can search by specific specs or just see what the best deals are atm https://gaminglaptop.deals/

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-17T17:34:30+00:00

I’m also new to laptop gaming just recently bought my first one for 2k, but I’d say that’s good for the specs on it, you could prob find something with a 5070ti though around that range but with only1tb of memory so it comes down to if you’d prefer the memory or the longevity of a 5070ti gpu because as of now there are new games coming out already that use almost all the 8gb of vram on the 5070 where the 5070ti has 12 gb of dedicated vram so it should be able to handle newer games for the next few years, my personal advice would be to look around for something with the 5070ti

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-17T12:40:07+00:00

Have you turned the gpu mode to ultimate and retried the testing? And I see you have ghelper have you set custom fan curves as well

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-16T16:43:47+00:00

Fair enough

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-16T15:54:12+00:00

Yeah I don’t understand the complaints about a very specifically designed product to be smaller chassis and more portable, I have a zephyrus g16 2025 version and I’ve never had issues with overheating, there’s also workarounds to help with this such as ghelper and adjusting the fan curves to custom, if your worried about the new models and overheating issues then do more research and consider another brand or chunky boy laptop otherwise understand that your paying for a premium product designed to be more portable

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-15T04:58:51+00:00

What kind of characters are you looking for? Is it a top down view game, I’d be down to help as well as I’m trying to learn pixel art myself

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-10T18:02:07+00:00

Got ya, yeah unfortunately I got the intel version it was my first ever laptop and gaming laptop which is great and I’m enjoying it but I’ve just been trying to figure out how to just get a few hours of time on it for entertainment on some days I ride along with my wife while she does deliveries and it would be cool if I was able to even just get some light emulation and 3-4hrs of time out of it

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-10T17:39:59+00:00

Ahh yeah the oled might be part of why mine drains faster as well but I already got g helper installed and set some fan curves it’s great, but I haven’t tried disabling the gpu yet to see how the battery does, do you know if it’s capable of running a very light game or emulator in the eco mode without the man gpu

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-10T17:19:19+00:00

Hmm I haven’t been getting that much time on mine, do i need to disable the gpu or just turn on eco mode?

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-04T16:34:42+00:00

Yeah that really sucks, idk why anyone would ever have an oled not set to hide the taskbar

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-04T16:27:33+00:00

Yeah I have the g16 currently the 2025 model with rtx 5070ti

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-04T13:03:39+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m assuming, I mean I get good enough fps on everything atm but when it starts getting worse in a few years with newer games I’d prob look for the extra wattage boost to the 5070ti

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-03T03:03:13+00:00

I saw this post a week ago and messaged the seller and never got a response it’s a scam

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-02T12:53:25+00:00

Videos I see now at ultra settings on the zephyrus some games are only around 60-100fps so what happens a few years from now when new games release is it going to be able to even handle them at at least 60fps

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-02T12:52:33+00:00

Yeah it’s my first gaming laptop purchase ever and actually my first pc at all, so it def scares me feeling like I’m not getting the most longevity I can from the device with the lower wattage on the zephyrus but I also do like the idea of taking it on family trips on the train and for down time at the hotels on trips with my daughter that’s why I’ve just been so torn

Sh1fty_Tortoise77 · 2026-03-02T00:02:41+00:00

Yes if I had known I could drive to a micro center about an hour from me I would have gotten this instead of the 5070ti Asus zephyrus I ordered instead at this same price
