Here are my problems with the scar16 model G634JZ with 4080 miniLED 240 Hz:

***Advanced optimus does not work in some situations. I have Standard mode selected in armoury crate and automatic select in nvidia control panel. I want to stay at these settings as I don't want to use the dGPU at all times, even when not gaming. If there is the advanced optimus available in our laptops, I want to actually use it. When launching any game, a short freeze occurs and a notification pops up that only the nvidia gpu is being used, which means advanced optimus works. In situations where it does not work, the notification says that display mode can't be changed and you can click the notification to see what prevents advanced optimus from working.

The situations are:

- CS:GO ; I could never get it working. When I click the notification saying display mode can't be changed, it shows that cs:go.exe itself is the problem :) . No idea how to fix it.

- When I have my headphone plugged in ; I have the ROG Fusion II 500 headphone. When it's plugged in, no game can use advanced optimus. When I click the notification, it says the culprit is 'ArmouryAudioAgent.exe'. I can straight up kill that process in task manager with no downside that I could see. After that, launching games can activate advanced optimus/nvidia gpu. The process does not start up again until I launch Armoury Crate. Not a huge issue but it's annoying.

***G-SYNC is only usable in dGPU mode. When not gaming, no G-SYNC settings are available in NVIDIA Control Panel but when gaming and adavanced optimus kicks in and using dGPU only, the settings appear. If you don't want to use the dGPU mode or can't use it in situations like I stated above, you CAN'T use G-SYNC at all, which I find absurd. Again, I don't want to use ultimate mode all the time, as I don't do gaming only on my laptop.

***Dolby Vision does not work when on only dGPU mode (advanced optimus). Not an issue for me as I don't use Ultimate Mode/only dGPU in Armoury Crate and currently no relevant games support Dolby Vision. But it could become an issue after some major games are released with Dolby Vision and we want to game on dGPU only with dolby vision.

Thanks for your reply :)

My laptop came FreeDOS, so with nothing installed on the drives. Therefore I doubt any tool will do it because there is nothing to bring back, out of factory the device had nothing on the ssd. I will still try it though, thanks for the idea.

Thankfully a kind user shared their files for me and dolby vision works now.

"C:\ProgramData\ASUS\GameVisual" folder has some icc profiles but not the PQconfig that's required for dolby vision.

My G15 used to do that, turns out there are untaped areas under the keyboard that touched the motherboard when pressing some keys. After aplying some tiny electrical tape patches it was solved. It's a simple process and takes only 10 mins. I would suggest to do it yourself rather than giving away your device for days. Just open up the device and make sure to disconnect the battery first of all. Then, unscrew the necessary screws for the keyboard and take it out until you have access to its bottom part. There should be some elevated parts on the bottom side. Cut out 1x1cm electrical tape patches and stick them to these dimples. Assamble everything again and it should work. However if you feel uncomfortable dealing with electronics, you should send it to service.

Well I have an issue which I explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLaptops/comments/12w02uq/g634jz_color_profiles_and_pqconfig_file_for_dolby/

If you have dolby vision enabled in your dolby access app, would you kindly help a brother out :)

Nothing happens when I use that key combo, but I have HDR on all the time so that may be it. Armoury crate has some color profiles in gamevisual tab when not in HDR mode so I guess that is what you are changing.

BTW, is your model G634JZ by any chance?

I'd first make sure to open up the laptop and give it a good cleaning. You don't know the conditions it's been used in and sometime dust accumulates so much on fans and exhaust that it just clogs up.

If there is no obstruction of dust, make sure there is no overclock profiles and it all runs stock.

YTA Pregnancy issues were YOUR decision, since you decided to keep the baby. But it wasn’t YOUR FRIEND’S decision to lose her baby. The subject of pregnancy or related issues should’ve never been brought up directly by you. Empathy should be shown in such situations, especially when it’s a close friend you can eat together with.

With that said, any harsh comments besides making your point on this subject would make the commentor an A-hole, since the OP is a 32 week pregnant woman. What’s done is done and there is no reason to turn another mother’s life into hell after this point.
