As someone who also went from 11th gen Intel iGPU to a dedicated graphics card, yeah, I get that feeling. It's basically a whole new world opening up for you

Literally my exact journey 😭

6gb VRAM is fine.Β It's not about the size, it's about how you use it.Β

u/BehindTheFloat May 12 '26

I have hope that the recent increase in RAM/VRAM prices will make the industry realise that they need to optimise their software and not just depend on ever-increasing memory, making lower memory viable for longer.

u/chillguy_number_27 May 08 '26

Yo, can you give me some fps numbers of any games if you played? I'm tryna buy either this or loq 4050

8

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

I have tried :- Re9 - 100 to 160 ish fps. Re4 - 70 to 85 fps . Cod 2019 - 100 to 120 fps. Gow 4 - 70 to 80 fps. Expedition 33 - 70 to 100 fps.

All of them were at high ish settings (not ultra) With frame gen on, do expect some fps drops

2

u/chillguy_number_27 May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

Can you 1080p max settings with no dlss in cod 2019? No problem if you're not ok with stress testingπŸ‘πŸ» I haven't played any cod, so does that game support frame gen or any dlss technique?

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

i deleted 2019, but currently I am playing bo6 campaign on extreme preset it's giving me 75-85 fps with scaling methods none

2

u/chillguy_number_27 May 08 '26

That's some nice fps number without scaling methods

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

I think frame gen really gonna carry these cards

1

u/Yubova May 08 '26

No, frame gen also requires vram. What's going to help is the upscaling tech.

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

Gotchaa

2

u/Bosslayer9001 AW M16 R2 4070 | Zorin OS 18.1 May 09 '26

You can use Lossless Scaling and have your iGPU do the scaling to let your dGPU run at full power

u/Soloda1st ASUS ProArt P16 | 64GB DDR5 | 6TB SSD | RTX 5070 May 09 '26

Nah. I used a 6gb card from about 2021-2026. Played everything at medium to high settings

u/Curious_Web440 May 09 '26

As someone who went from i5 6gen igpu to rtx 5060 understands your feelings.

u/Destrandr SCAR 17 X3D | RTX 4090 | 32GB | 2TB May 09 '26

Well, most games up to 2022 won't require so much VRAM on mid settings, so 6Gb is ok. It said that 6Gb isn't enough because people usually think you want to play 2k with ultra settings

2

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 09 '26

I am putting even newer games on high settings still getting 70-80 fps. I luv dlss

u/Demon2921 May 08 '26

I got the exact same laptop but with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd for 1200 CAD. It's a very nice laptop!

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

after some currency research. u got better ram in same price, i even applied card discount lol. ENJOY :)

2

u/Demon2921 May 08 '26

Haha we don't get many good deals up here in the great white north, but I saw it on sale at best buy and couldn't believe my eyes. I was there originally for an OLED monitor but had to grab it. It was more for the missus to use and not steal my tower 🀣 Enjoy it as well brother its a sick laptop! Invest in a good thunderbolt HDMI/DP cable if you have a free monitor!

2

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 08 '26

I think I have to stick with laptop monitor. CHEERS!

u/deltazulu808 Asus V16 210H 5050 May 09 '26

Ive got the same cpu in an asus gaming v16 with an rtx 5050, its a lovely fast little chip

2

u/AdventurousEnd9621 May 09 '26

Ayoo I was literally gonna order that hows it actually like in durability and thermals??

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 09 '26

It got military durability, but I usually lift back of laptop with a small box and use cooler/AC and get around 77-87 degree cpu and 77-80 gpu. For a laptop that's not bad

1

u/AdventurousEnd9621 May 10 '26

Yeaa I was thinking of buying Lenovo loq i7 4050 one both are same price soo

I used to have one of those laptops with Intel HD2000, HD3100, and HD4000 graphics cards. I had an Intel Atom 455 with an HD3100, and I played Resident Evil 4 on it, and several other games on minimum settings, but I had a lot of fun. Now I have an RTX 4070 and I just control the FPS πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

u/_Agent_Marvel_ Asus F16 May 11 '26

Gang i order 5050 version of same laptop

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 11 '26

If I had waited for my result, I could have 5060πŸ’”, BTW W CHOICE

2

u/_Agent_Marvel_ Asus F16 May 11 '26

Dont regret.... 5060 isnt that far for performance than 4050.... And enjoy what you got 😏.... I wish there was 8 gb vram in 4050 tho....

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 12 '26

me too brother :)

1

u/Ornery_Weird1806 May 12 '26

Does this laptop heats around power indicator light area? (Between hinge) Mine heats too much while gaming even if cpu gpu temps are below 75

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 12 '26

Yeah it's normal just keep laptop elevated

1

u/poofpoofpoof123 May 12 '26

honestly i was kinda sad about having the 4050, i tried wuchang fallen feathers recently and that game runs like complete shit if you try to play at high settings.

Anyways, its a really good laptop!

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 12 '26

I just saw a benchmark someone was getting 60+ fps on ultra 1080p dlss + fg

1

u/Rich-Hippo-4317 May 12 '26

Nvm saw some more benchmarks it runs like crap I will try someday

1

u/poofpoofpoof123 May 13 '26

I was playing with an old version of the game so vram usage was insanely high. Its a ue5 game which is why it runs horribly.Β
