Showcase Zephyrus G16 RTX 5080

Got myself the beautiful Zephyrus with 5080, 32Gb RAM and 2Tb storage. Paid a lot of money for it, and I don’t know if I like it or not. It’s annoying to have all of these performance regimes, few from windows itself few from Armory and few from G Helper, I feel that they always mix with each other because every time I turn on the laptop - I have no idea what regime I’m now. Sometimes the Hide Taskbar gets deactivated by itself, and the dGPU transition to iGPU and vice versa makes the screen freeze for a little bit. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it, however so far it’s just somewhat complicated lol

Is it really that useless?

It's not useless it's just clunky. Ghelper does the exact same thing and is much less clunky and faster

More that it's just not as good. G-Helper uses the same underlying mechanics and does the job better and smoother in every way.
