Gaming Laptop Recommendations?
in IT Support ·
Hey there,
I just picked up a laptop HP Victus 16.1 GeForce RTX 3050Ti, AMD Ryzen 6000, 16gb, and I noticed something a little weird. It seems to be running on the AMD integrated graphics for everything, but then the main NVIDIA card kicks in whenever I launch a video game. I haven’t been able to change it at all—even if I try to disable the Intel or AMD integrated graphics, it just switches back to the standard display. I read somewhere online that this is actually totally normal and how they're set up from the factory to save battery life. Also, when I plug the laptop into my TV, it shows that the display is being powered by the dedicated GPU. I was wondering if anyone else here has used this specific model and if it's really supposed to work this way? Is this just how all gaming laptops operate, or am I missing something?
Thanks for any help!
