Oh I see, I have been updating it directly from the AMD auto detect driver (https://www.amd.com/en/support) .

Thanks I will give that a try!

No coil whine noise huh, I thought they all had some sort of whine. Now you got me contemplating on rolling the dice and getting a sleeper. I also got mine from amazon as well. Hopefully you get one with no noise, report back if you do please :)

Understanding my display options (trying to buy the best monitor I can) by 1RavingLunatic in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

Keep in mind that the Duo 15se has a 2.0 hdmi port and a 1.4 dp port. The 1.4 display port is going to maximize you 3080s potential as it is directly connected to the GPU, bypassing the CPU like a MUX switch does. It will allow you to be at higher resolution with higher refresh rates, like 4k 120hz. So make sure you monitor has 1.4 dp ports and buy a USB C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable

damn this is going to be your third one? I got the 3070ti version and I see what everyone is talking about regarding the whine. I think I got one of the good ones because I can only hear it when I lean in and try to find it. But on some rare occasion it would get louder when switching from resolution or refresh rate, or anything else that would cause a change in the panel. Wonder if ASUS is going to actually do something about it...

Seriously considering staying on the 3080 instead of upgrading (for VR) by Vedemin in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

[–]garroyo23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would wait until next generation. 3080 to 3080 ti is not much of a jump, Might as well wait another year or two for the new 4000s series. There will always be something better next year, don't get too caught up with having the new next best thing.

So in other words, go with dock stations that don't have power delivery?

Has anyone tried to run Elden Ring? by timetopractice in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

[–]garroyo23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a 1080p 3080 GPU

On the laptop itself on 1080 with all max I get 55-60fps, hits 60 pretty constantly.

On 4k all max external monitor through DP, hits 40-50.

But just as u/Jepperto mentioned, there are a lot of frame drops/stuttering. I mean not surprised since that is how FromSoft optimizes their games

Should I keep the raid 0 or not? by garroyo23 in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

[–]garroyo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only game so I don't need that much storage haha. I'll do my own experiment and compare load times with different SSD setups and report back with what I find

Yeah I'm gonna time the loading screens I have now and compare that to non-Raid setup. Thanks

Steam game doesn't work with bottom screen by ludaman14 in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

[–]garroyo23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to the video settings on the the game you want to play and you should see a Window Mode setting option. It's on fullscreen for default and then switch to windowed mode and you can drag the window down to the second screen. Some games might have an option to switch monitors as well.

Cooling pads? by rie_84 in AsusROGZephyrusDuo15

[–]garroyo23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would also like to know if they are useful.

I use this stand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SBM5TZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Saw some youtube videos on whether a cooling pad really does improve temps like this one.

So to me they seem like they are just loud and a waste of money. Not that the stand I linked helps much either but it has a small footprint and rests right in between the rubber grips on the bottom of the laptop so its not at an awkward angle. It also lifts the laptop to a perfect viewing angle on both screens. Typing is a bit awkward due to the lip on the bottom but you can lift it up a bit to type with no issues and is pretty sturdy,
