    If G-Sync is showing up as an option in the Nvidia Control Panel then you have Adaptive Sync tech available and working as intended. The reason you are seeing not certified as G-Sync compatible is because it's NOT certified by Nvidia as G-Sync Compatible https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/ . As you can see your monitor is not on the official list. That does not mean G-Sync won't work, it just means Nvidia has not certified it. It's possible they haven't gotten to it yet, or more than likely Ben-Q doesn't want to pony up the cash for the branding and testing or Nvidia found small issues with variable refresh rate (flickering is usual issues) and won't certify the panel ever. Go into the Nv Control Panel and turn on G-Sync for both Full Screen and Windowed Modes. Then tick the box that says use G-Sync anyways even though it's not certified or whatever it says. Then download and run this program and ensure G-Sync mode stays ticked. You can also turn it off and on and look at the tearing appear and disappear to ensure it's working. Then go play your games and enjoy. https://www.nvidia.com.tr/coolstuff/demos#!/g-sync

    Long time no see! Welcome to the new boards!

    That is great! Thanks for confirming! I wonder if it's simply a licensing/fee issue with Nvidia. With AMD and Intel offering FreeSync or VRR in laptops, Nvidia is going to need to start offering G-Sync to more laptops similar to how they did on desktop.

    It’s actually 500nit advertised. It’s crazy bright and color accurate. One of their new “Nebula” displays. I’m actually jealous of it, super compact, well built beastly machine.

    That is actually good to hear! So you have this laptop? It has the variable refresh option in the Intel iGPU menu? That is definitely good that it has that at least has Optimus VRR, but less than ideal dGPU G-Sync/FreeSync option. My brother just picked up the Asus G14 2022 edition and it has MUX'd FreeSync in dGPU mode which is the ideal way just like GSync.

    This. They're also 16:10 16" options. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/legion-5i-pro-gen-7-(16-inch-intel)/len101g0015?visibleDatas=696%3AIntel® Core™ i7 They don't have all of their options out yet with their higher end GPUs but will soon. My HP Omen 16.1" is also Advanced Optimus, MUX'd, and has G-Sync at 1440p 165hz. MSI is just sorta lagging and cheating customers out of options other brands have been offering for awhile now. I'm not saying they need to hit every box, but they should be offering at least some of these new features that other brands are.

    To my knowledge all of MSI "gaming" laptops are 16:9, they don't have VRR or G-Sync/FreeSync, and their entire gaming laptop is still 300 nit advertised. I expect MSI to add these features back in the 2023 lineup with 4000 series Nvidia or next gen AMD, but for now I don't see any of those options offered in the gaming space. The 1080p knock was specific to this model as I do know they offer higher res displays, but their offerings are substandard to other panels in other brands.

    I like MSI laptops for the unlocked/hidden BIOS, but man they aren't keeping up with the competition. Still using 300 nit displays, 1080p, and no variable refresh or G-Sync in 2022, and no 16:10 or 16" options is inexcusable for me. Until they change that, it's a hard pass for me considering their high prices.

    I don't know what it is, but lately I've been on this lower end spec part kick. Like I've just gotten so sick of top end part being near maxed out of box. I am having so much more fun tinkering with the G7400 and i3 12100F and honestly the i3 could keep me happy for daily use. It's crazy how fast the 4 core part is with the high IPC and clockspeed.

    I'm excited for you lol!

    Also a long time Chrome user but I’m willing to check this out as it definitely looks interesting. I run a few plugins/extensions on Chrome so hopefully those are supported here? Either way it looks fresh.

    I picked mine up at Best Buy when they had the $1499 sale on it. For the specs the price was hard to pass on.

    Pushing 105w through the little beast, barely breaking a sweat lol. This paste/pad is crazy. Max fans, no cooling pad or anything weird, just sitting on my laptop.

    Checking in with my Omen 16.1" 2021 edition with 11800H and RTX 3070 115w 1440p 165Hz G-Sync/Advanced Optimus 🙂 Repasted it recently with Honeywell PTM 7950 phase change thermal pad/sheet. https://ibb.co/KmPpN6j I'm also using 32gb Dual Ranked Kit of 2933Mhz CL17 Gear 1 instead of the stock 3200Mhz CL22 Gear 2. My biggest gripe is the completely locked down BIOS. If I had access to the Advanced BIOS to tune the memory and run Gear 1 at 3200Mhz CL16 the laptop would be perfect but I haven't found a way in yet.

    @ryan My HP Omen 16.1" 11800H/3070 repasted with Honeywell PTM 7950 (phase change) thermal pad. This stuff is amazing. Not quite Liquid Metal but the best thermal material I have ever used. I got a sheet of it from China, took about 2 weeks for delivery but damn this stuff is crazy good.

    Solid choice on the Unify-X. I’ve read nothing but good things about it and MSI nailed the DDR5 OC this round. I’ve considered picking one up myself.
  18. Talon
    What mode are you running your RAM in? In the BIOS there is an option to change the memory speed. I think you'll find that using 3200Mhz Gear 2 is worse than using 2933Mhz Gear 1. Although it's not labeled this. It's labeled SA GV or something similar. There is 20ns difference in latency and not that much difference in read/write to justify the latency hit.

    The i3 is a better sample for sure. Intel is sand bagging so hard with this "low end" locked SKUs. They could have eaisly released higher clocks. But milk milk milk. 🐮🐄 Alder Lake is a beast.
  20. Talon
    Pushing a bit further. Pretty excited to see what the i3 will do now. I'll see if I can get 5.5Ghz out of this chip first though. Not bad for a Pentium dual core in 2022 lol.

    I'm going to blow your mind. Windows Key + Print Screen will make a screenshot for you. Then you can use pictures to crop or whatnot. No need to use paint or anything like that.

    Purchased for the lolz. I also grabbed a 12100F. Just cranked in 140mhz BCLK and booted right up with 6400Mhz XMP.
  23. Talon
    Wow. I could stay in that office all day.
  24. Talon
    Nice what laptop model is this?
  25. Talon
    Pay $200 to have the "chance" of buying a GPU? What a joke.
