Thatā€™s a nice machine. What types of games do you like? Donā€™t worry, that laptop will handle any game with ease.

Thanks :pray: Iā€™ve got a backlog of games I couldnā€™t play before, like Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, etc. Just not sure where to start!

I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. I just downloaded a bunch of games and have been playing them one by one.

The most important thing you NEED to do is follow this guide and upgrade the microcode for your CPU.

Thank you so much! This looks really helpful :fairy:

Definitely uninstall any pre-installed antivirus software like McAfee. Within Lenovo Vantage, thereā€™s a feature called ā€˜Conservation Modeā€™ that should limit the maximum battery percentage when plugged in to 75-80%. As for games, maybe give Baldurā€™s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 a try.

Absolutely hate McAfee, thanks for reminding me! And that tip about battery percentage is golden, thank you :fairy: Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely on my list.

I hope so, but I donā€™t want to push it too much right after getting it :pray::pray:

Is the RTX 4090 better?

Yes, but it tends to run a bit hotter.

Actually, a smaller number is better.

Actually, a smaller number is better.

Why is that? And why does the 4090 cost so much more then?

Nice!

Why are so many people buying these 8GB VRAM laptops?? Stop it. Make Nvidia earn your money with at least 12 gigs.

I didnā€™t know better when I ordered mine. I found out about the power limits and VRAM consumption too late. I want to cancel my order and wait for the next series, but I doubt weā€™ll see a move to 12 GB VRAM for mobile GPUs anytime soon.

Run the Final Fantasy XV benchmark! Iā€™ve got the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 RTX 4070 Asus Zephyrus G16, 32 GB of RAM, Win 11 Pro coming next week. Iā€™d love to hear what that benchmark is like, earlier.
