Thanks I will do.
Another thing i've just noticed. when I load up a game and the benchmark actually the laptop went from being "plugged In" to being "on Battery" because the screen dimmed as it changes into battery power plan. and then came out of the game to find it saying on battery, despite...
Yeah all testing is done plugged in to the wall.
So in Control Panel under power options it's set to AMD balanced mode.
in NVIDIA Control panel power management mode is set to prefer maximum performance.
over the battery slider down in the bottom right "Plugged in" is set to the middle...
yep all done, some bluetooth, USB and drivers all installed.
Update:
So GPU works fine in benchmarks. Unigen Heaven at ultra and max tessellation in windowed mode for 10minutes. GPU 120-130 watt power draw, 1560-1900MHz clock speed. 99% utilization and 170-200fps.
but it just won't work in...
Cheers for that and apologies.
Just ran windows update until they stopped appearing.

Had the Laptop since May 2021 everything has been perfect. However, two days ago my laptop has started behaving abnormally.
The Issue:
The GPU is not receiving the standard power draw of 140watts. Instead it...

Hey Luc,
I use the IONICO 15 with R9 5900HX and RTX 3070
What do you want to do with the laptop?
is it going to be a mobile workstation that needs to travel with you for work and therefore be able to perform off power and be portable?
or will you be mostly using it for gaming... so plugged...
Hi there,
Just benchmarked my Ionico 15 at stock using turbo mode and dGPU (https://www.3dmark.com/fs/25597157)
Specs:
CPU: R9 5900HX
GPU: RTX 3070 (125W)
RAM: 16GB @2933MHz
Really cool look at your laptop cheers. I'm waiting on this exact spec but with different SSD config. The only thing i was worried about, was the cooling solution in such a thin and light but your GPU temps seemed reasonable and as you say i think the ryzen 5000 chips just run hot. can't wait to...
Haha that's funny. Certainly true, anecdotal evidence is always crap but there's definitely value in compiling benchmarks of real world use from the machines. needs more data ha.
But That's not to say the Ryzen Zen 3 chips have flawless security, just recently with the discovery of the bug in the Predictive store forwarding of the new chips similar to Spectre Variant 4 vulnerabilities in the Intel's. Granted, a very difficult vulnerability to exploit but people will...
I agree and I think people shouldn't be paying the massively inflated prices over MSRP for the Ryzen CPU's because of the hype and therefore demand, when they could save lots of money and still get a quality machine with an Intel based model.
