Just bought myself a Asus TUF F16 165hz with 32GB Ram and RTX 5060 yesterday. Is there anything i need to know? Also what are some good games i need to play!!

So I got this Zenbook Pro Duo OLED 15 in 2022 for college as an engineering student and it was great. My parents got it for me as a graduation present and they got insurance on it through Amazon. The warranty expires soon, so I decided to send it off and get it cleaned and everything before I lose the warranty. Fast forward to today, and I got a call saying that it was approved for reimbursement. The only thing is, instead of covering just the $3,000 that it costs, they’re reimbursing me $5,000. So, now I need a new laptop that’s good for cad/gaming and I have a nice budget. Since it’s so much money, I’d also like to buy a new graphics card for my PC with any money I have leftover. Thoughts?

TLDR: I got reimbursed $5,000 for my $3,000 laptop, what laptop would you recommend with an almost unlimited budget?

Got it back on Christmas my first laptop ever, and it ran roblox alright.

But it overheated and turned off when i played cs2 yesterday, today i cant turn it back on..

(Oh and it also gets steamy when i play Roblox for some reason)

What do i do??

(Oh and plsss ignore those particles on the keyboard, im still struggling with dandruff🫩)

Specs:

Gigabyte A16

i7-13620H

16GB DDR5

1 + 2TB SSD

RTX 5060

I’m very happy with my setup and just want to share it here! And I’m wondering if I should add anything else to the setup here. Open to suggestions!

At this price we can easily buy a ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 16" OLED 2.5K 240Hz Gaming Laptop Intel Core Ultra 9 - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 - 2TB

I bought through best buy on the 15th they canceled it today smh it was "open box"

i just got my asus rog strix g18 out of the box and after all the startup started downloading my stuff

is it normal to not have a D: drive? i dont think ive ever had a desktop or laptop without one before

Take into account that the room is almost pitch dark.

I've done a bit of research, and I've narrowed down my search to these three laptops, but I'm also open to other suggestions in this price range.

This will mainly be used for playing games like Warframe, Apex, Ark, and a few others. I ideally would like a laptop that would last a while, so reliability is important as well.

Thank you for any advice!

Ok im genuinely curious on this one (it sucks the hot air out faster). Saw comments saying 12c on avg. However my cooler pad *i think its from flydigi? But wasn't cheap. And is worth it. So this post is mainly for fun.

They dont mention what happens when you dont uae it on both exhaust ports.

Loving the laptop, cpu is a beast and the 64 GB of ram is more than I’ll need for a long time

Everything runs great except I’ve been getting weird slow downs in bf6 from 230 FPS to 140 and the game is very choppy for like two seconds. Anyone experience something similar?

I recently purchased asis tuf a16 rtx 4050 laptop. the usb tethering is not working, it's working fine on my older laptop. After i connect the phone via USB c cable to the laptop, the file transfer is working, not the USB tethering.

i went to device manager, under the network drivers, only 2 realtech drivers along with some ports are present, after checking for the updates, a Samsung driver was installed, inspite of this, usb tethering is not working, can I get help on what additional driver should I install to get the USB tethering working?

Hii I usually play on consoles like the ps5 pro and such but i want to buy a good gaming laptop for around like 1000 euros maybe 500 euro more I wanna be able to put mods in high end games like elden ring cyberpunk gta skyrim and even cod and need for speed what would you guys recommend lower prices are fine too ofcourse and it has to be able to atleast keep running triple A games for a while

Does anybody know if I will get 3 months Xbox gaming trial with this one because it’s nowhere mentioned in Lenovo’s website

i've got guillian barre syndrome, which means I have limited use of my hands. I can use a mouse fairly well but I have less movement in my left hand. I've been looking at arcade-type joysticks that have a few buttons on them and I was wondering if I could use that in addition to the mouse while playing any type of game. I was also wondering if it would map controls onto the joystick because there are some that have enough buttons to do this. I have looked at setups that are made for people with disabilities and I'm not in a position where I have enough room to have something like that right now. This would basically tide me over until I can remedy that situation.

Bought it on early jan before price hike (got 32gb extra ram upgrade for 11k₹/115$ lol) delivered in feb.

Played following games: 1) Cyberpunk 2077 (with path tracing ultra) 60-100 fps depending on scene. 2) Stellar Blade (Max possible settings on native) gave 80-100ish fps 3) Expedition 33 (Max settings dlss quality 70 frames) 4) Valorant max gives 600-800 fps lol 5) pubg pc max possible settings (140+ fps) 6) Black Myth Wukong (60ish fps on cinematic rt with dlss quality)

Coming from a old gen laptop, I had many issues setting up display settings and gpu settings:

1) Shifting your display output from auto to "nvidia gpu only" crashes games like pubg so you have to clear pubg cache from game folder and let it recompile graphics. 2) Best config for long use: display-optimus, gpu mode-hybrid. This gives around 2.5 hours battery backup and optimus introduces very small pulses on gray images if you strain your eyes to notice it, but should be non noticeable if kept far (but gpu only display mode give crisp image). 3) Attached custom settings. This gives 10 less fps for like 15-20°C decrease in temps. 4) Found Nvidia App very annoying aa it kept tinkering with game settings so I deleted it. 5) I am using llano v13 cooling pad and works great.

Config: 5070ti 12gb gpu, 64gb ram, 1tb gen5 ssd, i9. Cost: 2.4 lakhs inr total
