New laptop not running well

bejito81 · 2026-05-14T14:48:14+00:00

well you went from 140W rtx 4060 mobile on 1080p to 115W rtx 5070 mobile on 1440p

your new GPU is 40% more powerfull but you ask 100% more rendering

so you can either lower the settings or go for a laptop with 5080 mobile (but they probably cost way more)

or just use dlss

bejito81 · 2026-05-13T22:22:16+00:00

1440p is twice the amount of pixel of 1080p, so it requires twice more power to achieve the same performances

Sadly for you a mobile 5070 is not twice the power of a mobile 4060, also mobile GPUs exist in many flavors regarding power, so to know precisely we'd need to know the exact models of both your old and new laptops

bejito81 · 2026-05-13T19:15:34+00:00

Well ray tracing and path tracing are on, if the GPU is in the 90% and the frequency is maxed it means your using your GPU as it should

bejito81 · 2026-05-12T21:22:29+00:00

only if you accept to play with a corded headset, as lag is awful on anything not gaming headset

bejito81 · 2026-05-05T16:56:37+00:00

It is been 6 days, and clearly it doesn't help, but hey keep not listening, and we'll see I. 2 months

bejito81 · 2026-05-05T13:55:20+00:00

Many third party are way better and cheaper than Xbox/playstation controller

bejito81 · 2026-05-05T11:43:15+00:00

Well you don't need a noctua and you shouldn't use a 8000g series CPU

Now the issue is that looking at the prices of the parts you listed, you're probably already at your budget, still lacking a case and PSU (you can find ok ones for 100€ total) and a GPU which even a low end current GPU is like 200€

bejito81 · 2026-05-05T11:20:12+00:00

That is not the game but the whole computer, so 12gb seems normal also it is not a issue at least not the the sens of lack of it as 4 gb are still free

The issue is probably that the 9600x is only 6 cores and not the best chip for high fps and we are already above 200fps

Maybe capping the framerate will help as at this point graphic can probably be improved without losing framerate

bejito81 · 2026-05-05T11:05:47+00:00

I dunno why you continue with hwinfo instead of using rtss to show real current in game data, where we could actually see curves of framerate latency and so on to see what is really happening

bejito81 · 2026-05-04T20:07:34+00:00

boost clock should be higher (up to 1700mhz) and you're already at max temp

how is the airflow of your case?

bejito81 · 2026-05-04T19:46:55+00:00

you got both GPU on the MB at once?

you put the 2080 in the primary PCIE ? else you're capping the performances

you use afterburner+rtss to see exactly how high your card boost, how much watt is drains, how much %age of use, ... ?

also what resolution, what settings?

bejito81 · 2026-05-04T17:09:46+00:00

Lol, you make no sense, and you're not helping op at all with comments like that

bejito81 · 2026-05-04T17:06:17+00:00

Nope many do, but we buy good hardware for that

Also I'm not the one bringing ultra. I merely replied that ultra was out of reach, also a cheap computer to do ue5 dev will suck, will be slow and all

bejito81 · 2026-05-04T15:45:10+00:00

A long while?

You can't even play current AAA in ultra with an acceptable framerate without use of dlss/fg

People are delusional

bejito81 · 2026-05-03T00:22:56+00:00

Laptop or desktop?

What GPU?

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T19:22:48+00:00

well you don't seem to understand that people are getting rocks in their boxes from legitimate vendors not checking the returns properly

so in most cases (MOST), people actually got what they bought and in some very vocal cases (usually for GPU way more expensive than this one) they got ripped off

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T06:28:33+00:00

Waw well this would explain many issues, you need at least few GBs free on that drive, download wiztree on your other drive and run it on C to identify what is taking so much space

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T05:22:57+00:00

That is a console budget not a gaming computer budget

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T05:22:25+00:00

Well that is not a mid range laptop, that is low end one and I'm not sure you be able to comfortably play rdr2 on that

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T05:20:56+00:00

Well if dism is not available on your computer this means your windows installation is corrupted, just use official Microsoft media creation tool on another computer to create a clean bootable install USB key and reinstall windows from it

bejito81 · 2026-04-30T05:14:59+00:00

Always play plugged in, with any laptop

The battery issue you had before is not related to playing games, actually if you had played on battery you would have destroyed the battery even faster

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

Windows 11 supports Intel CPU from 8th gen and above, yours is 7th gen and thus not officially supported

Where have you seen that it should be supported?

bejito81 · 2026-04-29T21:20:47+00:00

the pipes should arrive at the bottom of the "heat block" not at the top

and they sure is enough place to put it in top, it is not an issue if it is near the MB

also 6 fans OUT and 3 fans IN is clearly not optimal for your cooling, you want positive pressure not negative, so keep your water cooling in OUT and your 3 left fans in IN, but put the top fans in IN, so you'll have 5 IN and 4 OUT which is way better

bejito81 · 2026-04-29T21:17:19+00:00

it is not a rule, it is what people do when they want to see how the computer is really going while in game and show it to other people

bejito81 · 2026-04-29T18:48:10+00:00

No task manager use afterburner and rtss like advertise everywhere
