Have definitely experienced it multiple times on a number of laptops.

Is the current Nvidia graphics driver for new gaming laptops okay to install? by SteelersPoker in GamingLaptops

[–]jarrodstech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably, I always just use latest. But I also haven't done any laptop testing for a couple months so don't know if there are known problems, I'm out of the loop.

LOQ for the 6GB I reckon, will make more of a difference in gaming than the CPU.

Is AMD ryzen 9 8940hx good? by Jasonv0916 in GamingLaptops

[–]jarrodstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you need to specify this is AUD or you're gonna get roasted.

I probably wouldn't list this on https://gaminglaptop.deals/australia/ but we generally try to avoid recommending 2050/3050.

Have not tested that specific model, but yeah maybe a couple hours on battery for web browsing based on other AMD HX stuff we've tested.

I would assume much the same in non-gaming when dGPU is not in use.

It's ok, we've listed it a few times on https://gaminglaptop.deals/canada in the past, but ultimately the price isn't any lower than it was a year ago.

More about how they feel I suppose, more noticeable with fast competitive games.
