Laptop has come just a quick question

[holty2503]

Hi all just recieved my new laptop, is it normal for the GPU to be running all the time rather then using onboard graphics, I've switched to adaptive in the Nvidia control panel but still its using the RTX 2070 instead of the onboard graphics.

What spec is your laptop?

What onboard graphics does my laptop have as it doesn't seem to run onboard at all it's always running the RTX 2070

 

[SpyderTracks]

It has Intel® UHD Graphics 630

Do you have gaming center installed?

 

[holty2503]

Control centre and Killer control center are installed.

 

[holty2503]

This is my GPU running everything thats on.

 

[SpyderTracks]

Check the power settings applied in Game Center. May be on performance mode which will push everything to nvidia.

Ok I'll try that as soon as its finished transfering all my data off my old laptop.

 

[holty2503]

Changed the settings and still its using the RTX 2070 all the time.

Here a benchmark I just ran what do you guys think.#

Why's the result not online validated? Did you use custom settings?

What's the text about "...by limiting the framerate?" Can you take a screenshot instead of a partial photo? Seeing all the results and text would be better.

But the good news is that this seems about the right ballpark for a 2070: https://www.kitguru.net/lifestyle/m...x-scar-ii-gl704gw-review-i7-8750h-rtx-2070/6/

Your graphics score is near-identical to this other laptop. Overall score is a bit lower (and only a bit - like 1.4%) and there are dozens of factors as to why that could be.

Bearing in mind these are different chassis, different test conditions, etc, your GPU is certainly performing exactly as you should expect it to.

 

[holty2503]

The text just mentioned switching G-Sync off but I don't my laptop has it anyway?

 

[Oussebon]

It shouldn't do.. but it's not entirely unheard of for PCS to switch to a different screen model that happens to support it, sometimes only for a few units. Check the Nvidia control panel I guess and see what it says.

 

[Oussebon]

Though if you've fiddled with some settings in Nvidia Control Panel that might be what's caused the message

3DMark Telling Me to Disable GSync, when I don't have a GSYNC Monitor :: 3DMark General Discussions

I have a 1440p 144hz Freesync monitor, but freesync is off since I have an Nvidia GPU. I'm running in the 3DMark Demo. When I run a test I only get a graphics score and not a CPU score, so my overall score is 0. I'm running a GTX 1070, i5 4690K @3.5GHz, and 16GB Ram.

The only settings I changed in the control panel was setting it to performance just for the benchmark run.

 

[holty2503]

How do I see if it has a G-Sync monitor?

 

[Oussebon]

It'll be in Nvidia Control Panel.

I'm not sure how it works for laptops. Maybe something like:

G-Sync laptop - How do I turn on G-Sync? - Windows 10 Help Forums

Hi, I have a new laptop with G-Sync but I cannot see anywhere in the Nvidia Control Panel where I can turn this feature on or off... Some older tutorials point to a Display option in the Nvidia Control Panel but I only have the 3D Settings option... So ho

www.tenforums.com

Or other things on google

 

[holty2503]

I've had to install the Nvidia control panel myself as it never came on the laptop when I got it, the version I have hasn't got the option for G-Sync and also there's no option to choose which graphics I can use i.e. RTX 2070 or onboard.

 

[holty2503]

The picture below shows the option to choose which graphics to use, but mine doesnt have that option.
