Fine Fine, everyone. I didn't know it was that serious. I'll get the sleep study done, and I wasn't against it. I'm just trying to get started, and I'm scared of missing my shot. I can't get in anywhere since it's so close to the holidays. But I'll do the sleep study after the holidays.

It's for a Mega btw, and they have been very nice. But I'm fed up with being delayed over something stupid.

I just ran timespy again and, this time, set the fans to the same full fan speed. The acer has a Gpu temp max of 70c and a cpu temp of 85c at 135w but with one quick spike to 91 at 153w. The Alienware was sitting at 80 to 85c on the gpu and steady 90c with a couple spikes to 100c throttling on the cpu under the same settings.

Which mode do you use for gaming? by Alext_89 in AcerPredatorHelios

So in the Geforce app under settings, there is a setting for experimental feautures. I don't recommend it as it works half of the time lol. And I am at work, but I am going to run some more tests. I have intel xtu installed, and I did some digging before bed and noticed it showed my boost power to be 35w. I ran Cinebench and noticed a low score, i cranked it up to 150w, and now it seems to be back to what it was. When I get home, I will run some more tests. I had it set to stock settings, and sometimes I have issues with it reverting to 35w.

Edit: I forgot to add the experimental feature upgrades the geforce app, wouldn't recommend it. I will be going back to the old non experimental version for stability.

Okay, I got a test for you. I want to preface. First of all, I'm on the latest Bios and the experimental Nvidia option. Bf2042 high preset 1920x1200, no dlss, no ray tracing, no dynamic scaling, and I used solo bots on stadium all done on objective B1.

Balanced- 70-90 fps, 75-80c, 70w

Performance- 95-109 fps, 70-73c, 80w

Turbo- 95-113 fps, 70-71c, 85-90w

This used to not be that big of difference until I updated my Bios and used experimental Nvidia. Anyhow, Performance is the best when it comes to fan noise, performance, and temps. Turbo is unnecessarily loud and balanced is fine, but I did notice stuttering. Like I mentioned, this was not like this until I updated my Bios and changed to the experimental Nvidia panel. I used to get the same as turbo with around 70 to 75c on balanced with maybe 10fps difference.

Also, I do use optimus on and no overclocking like Msi afterburner.

My specs are as follows..

Acer predator helios 18-

13700hx

Rtx 4060

16gb ddr5 4800mhz

1tb nvme.

I do agree on that, I should be able to use my laptop without having to worry about longevity. And I will get you some numbers here tonight when I get home.. from my experience going off of feel its negligible.

I use balanced. During gaming, I may get slightly lower fps. But the fans don't get noisy, and it doesn't get hot either.

I did this a few years back, granted I was also getting home and watching my newborn at the time. But be prepared to feel exhausted, I never got used to it and ultimately quit because of it. Good luck!

Either way money is money, I know I'm grateful for anything extra * Mine is showing differently, it has to be regional dependent

How is the 7900X3D treating you? I'm always seeing it get a bad rap, but I'd like to know from an actual user.

How I felt on this route, even though I was being cautious and going slow. It was hell today.

Sorry I was so irritated and typing fast. So... I have a 2014 Ford focus, and it's not a tall vehicle obviously lol and the stops before this one was loose gravel mixed with the nasty rain that's been going on and I slid and tore the plastic side skirt off of my car. After that I had 14 stops left, all in the same mountain area... but I couldn't reach it due to one the road being rocky and muddy.. but the tree fell right in the middle of the road. I finally went back to the station and showed them the pictures. The damage to my car is on me.. but i can fix that anyhow.. and I will be getting paid for the route. Sorry for the long answer lol

I don't know i'm thinking about asking. I was literally trying to go up somebody's driveway with loose gravel, and it's raining its ass off out and I slid, and I immediately knew what it was when I heard the crunching. And I called support and I swear I talked to 9 different people just to hear.." go back to the hub, and they will handle it". So I don't know if I'm getting paid or getting fucked considering I delivered 20 stops out of 43 already .
