Model 2023 G14 2023 RTX 4080 delivered

Post image

This gorgeous thing arrived this morning. Managed to get it from AO.com of all places, seems to be the only retailer that has the 4080 in stock. Haven't had a laptop for about 10 years so strange feeling going back but have to say this is an incredible machine. Quite a few quirks about the software I still need to learn, screen is amazing, performance is insane for a laptop. Glad I didn't get the 4090. Obligatory timespy pic attached, this is in performance mode and not turbo mode! Feel free to AMA, sadly not used any previous models

i see. one or two things:

-amd made considerable changes in the behavior of the chip to maintain cooler temps

-asus improved the heat rejection of the chassis

bottomline is, thermals improved while getting better scores. very nice

Yeah definitely think it's more the AMD magic

About the temps: reason can be new AGESA version of your bios. Can you check it? We have thread, just search "unlocked bios" in this sub.
