    Question I was all geared up to buy the new Asus M15 with Ryzen and 3080 today - but....

    They aren't listed on Nvidia's website nor on Asus'. Does anyone know when they will supposedly launch? I need a new laptop for work ASAP and I narrowed this down as the ideal one.

    What is the ideal laptop for Premiere, After Effects, and Cinema 4D?

    I've been looking at the HP Envy 15, Asus Zyphrus, Gigabyte Aero, and MSI Stealth 15. It's hard to know which one to pick without comparing them in person. :-/

    What is the ideal laptop for Premiere, After Effects, and Cinema 4D?

    I'd like 2+tb SSD, 64gb ram, and a Max-Q RTX if possible in a reasonably lightweight 15 inch 4k screen. Even though my laptop has 32gb and a 970gtx, it's 5 years old and struggling in Premiere. If money was no option, what is the ideal laptop? IT seems that there always is a tradeoff...

    Need a laptop with highres screen and 32GB DDR

    Hi All! I will be replacing my i7 oc to 4.3ghz desktop w/ 32gb ram, 560 2gb, and 6TB storage as I will be traveling quite a bit for work. I'm looking for a laptop specifically for content creation (after effects, massive photoshop files, 3d rendering, and occasional gaming). For the...

    How to keep laptop nvidia gfx at full power all the time?

    eerp. I think i found the solution: change the value of "PerfLevelSRC" in regedit from 3333 to 3322. this disables powermizer when on AC power. the 2222 value disabled powermizer completely (including on battery mode). I haven't tested this out yet...but it seems to be my solution.

    How to keep laptop nvidia gfx at full power all the time?

    I had this problem with Vista 64 and Win 7 x64. Laptop: Asus M70vm. Core2Duo 2.53ghz, 4gb ram. Graphics: Geforce 9600M GS, 128bit, G96 512 DDR2. This happens in everything from moving windows around the screen to scrolling in Firefox. The worst offender is when i'm animating in Maya...

    I think I found a bug in win 7....or maybe it's Nvidia

    aaand, i seem to have found the solution. I had to go into the NVIDIA control panel and enable dual view. then, without touching anything, the correct resolutions for both monitor and hdtv were automatically set to the correct native resolutions as soon as i hit "apply" for dual view. glad it...

    I think I found a bug in win 7....or maybe it's Nvidia

    aah, my bad! I meant to say, my LAPTOP display doesn't allow for 1920x1200 when i plug in the HDMI cable to the 1080p HDTV. I want to have my laptop display run at 1920x1200 while the HDTV runs at 1920x1080. Windows7 switches to 1080 on both monitor and tv and doesn't give me the option to...

    Should I get it?

    I upgraded from Vista x64 to Win 7 x64 on my laptop and there's no looking back. I was so impressed how everything transferred perfectly from vista to windows. Hopefully i wont be eating my words in a few months. :-s

    I think I found a bug in win 7....or maybe it's Nvidia

    When I connected to a 1080p HDTV via HDMI, Win7 doesn't give me the option of 1920x1200...only 1920 x 1080. Also, when i go into the adapter properties and go to "list all modes", the correct display resolution (19x12) isn't there. So now i'm running a 16x9 resolution on a 16x10 monitor. :(...

    Heard Vista sucks. Does Windows 7 NOT suck?

    i love windows 7 on my laptop. i used to use vista....didn't really find it that great compared to xp. everything seems faster in win7 and everything seems to work just fine out of the box.
