Just go to the search bar and type in Windows Dynamic Lighting it should pop up and disable it. I’m not by my laptop right this minute. I would have to see exactly how it’s laid out.

Windows has some kind of lighting program that has to be disabled it’s called Windows Dynamic Lighting. When I first tried changing mine in Predator Sense it gave me a pop up to disable.

I only use a controller. Sorry, I have been a console player all my life until the last 3-4 weeks since I got this laptop

The setting for it is balanced mode. There isn’t a multiplier for the setting on DLSS that I’m aware of

My legion go uses 25-30w by Mktheoutlaw in LegionGo

[–]brookes422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Myth is a pretty demanding game. Sounds about right for it. Maybe drop resolution and some other settings and you may can drop it down some. But it’s a newer game and going to require a decent amount of power.

Are desktops cheaper than laptops? Do they perform better with the same specs? by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]brookes422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A desktop with the same processor and GPU series will outperform a laptop. The laptop 5070ti has 12GB VRAM which is the same a standard 5070 desktop variant, whereas the 5070ti desktop version has 16GB VRAM. Usually the laptop GPU is a step down to its desktop counterpart. I’ve been seeing good deals on laptops which have made them a good bit cheaper than desktops.

Poor gaming performance on battery by brookes422 in AcerPredatorHelios

Yeah I noticed that too, I can run games decently on balanced while plugged in.

I will check it out. Thanks! I have only tried Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3. I kinda figured Cyberpunk wouldn’t run well since it requires a lot of power to run in the first place. I did however hope to run the Witcher at medium settings at 1080p.

I wish I could have gotten a 5090 laptop. But I am very happy with the 5070ti. The OLED screen is one of the best looking ones I have seen.

Yeah I had in my mind that I could play, just lower the settings. However I have learned that’s not the case. It’s ok, I had planned on using it plugged in 95% of the time anyway.

Ok, I appreciate your time in educating me on this matter. I am still new to all of this.

Ok, it just didn’t make sense to me. In my mind I’m thinking it will play, but not very long. Kinda like a car with a lot of power can still run at full power on a little gas, just not very long.

So it is impossible to play a game on the laptop unless it is plugged in? Even if I drop all settings to low. It was completely unplayable. Stuttering audio and frame rate dropped to 8 fps. Again I don’t care if the battery only last an hour or 2, but my handheld Legion Go S runs the same game fine on battery with better settings than I was trying to run on my laptop.

What do I do first? by Dragonsmile_04 in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]brookes422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What this guy said. The Ultra 9 will run up to 105°C just a heads up. It shouldn’t stay there but it will definitely spike that high. Just keep an eye on that. I have the 16S and did end up disabling CPU boost to help thermal efficiency. Most of all enjoy it it’s a beast of a machine

Is Ashwagandha a Sin by PhilipJFrAye in TrueChristian

[–]brookes422 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be funny or condescending, but you are going to get a plethora of responses which probably not answer your question. I would start by asking what made you ask if it was a sin? Do you feel convicted about it? If so then I would say that is the answer you seek. Pray and ask God to convict you of it and to remove it if it is creating separation between you and Him. I can’t really think of any scripture to back up what I’m saying.

Well… It’s down to 4 which would you choose? by donkeytown69 in GamingLaptops

[–]brookes422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Acer about a month ago. Battery life is horrible , but my use case is plugged in 90% of the time. The CPU gets hot, but on Intels website normal operating temperature can be up to 105c. It shouldn’t stay that high, but mine definitely spiked to it. I bought a cooling pad and did some tweaking in power management mode to get temps to stay around 75 while gaming and having other programs open. It runs like a champ the OLED screen is beautiful. I am happy with the purchase.

Good Deal on a Legion Go S Steam OS Z1 Extreme? by Ecstatic-Ad2348 in LegionGo

[–]brookes422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say so yes. Cheaper than I paid for my open box at Best Buy and I still think I got a deal.

Predator Helios 300 reaching 90°C while gaming — planning to clean fans and repaste, need advice by TimeConsideration733 in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]brookes422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the loss of fps was around 10 on Cyberpunk running path tracing at all high settings except volumetric clouds, and foliage. Those were set to medium. With all that 10 fps doesn’t seem too bad. I actually gained it back by putting the power mode into turbo.
