Hey,
sure you may borrow the thread. :) I can even give some input, at least regarding 1 and 4.
I can only say that for me it really was the dGPU running. I have now set up a HWinfo GPU power widget in the task bar letting me know instantly whether it is running. In the beginning I didn't know...
That's exactly what I meant. Thanks! I have indeed never cared much about this with my previous laptop, but then it didn't have that much power to start with. ;)
Thanks! So when I'm in iGPU mode but start an app I have set to dGPU, the latter will kick in? Then I guess that is what I'll do.
By the way, I just noticed that the Epic Launcher alone let to a 10W consumption of the dGPU. Quite strange, given there's no need for the dGPU at all in this app...
You might be on to something there!
- BIOS is in MSHybrid
- HWInfo showed 7-8W for the dGPU (see screenshot) even though in iGPU mode
- After Windows reboot (to check BIOS) HWInfo did not show any details on dGPU anymore (I assume that means its off, which I was aiming for)
- Suddenly Windows...
Thanks a lot, Jimbotymbo! I really appreciate the effort!
Strangely enough, HWMonitor is reporting 0% GPU usage when on battery, so this doesn't seem to be an issue for me. Where do you see the GPU power consumption there, though? I haven't found that field anywhere ...
I also checked with...
Thanks Spydertracks! Wear level is at 0%, so at least that is okay. I'll test again once all the initial setup is done and let you know if it has impoved.
Hi,
I have already posted this in the German forum, but there seems to be little activity, so let's try again here: I've received my new laptop (my first from PCSpecialist) this week and must say that I am impressed. Very transparent and timely production process (only delivery was slow, but...
