want to add a note, if some don't know already
.....HP has not included power and charge management in the BIOS with the Victus. they do so with the Omen and their Probooks/Elitebooks business laptops
it allows you to set the charge limiter to 80%. this is important if you leave your laptop plugged in for a while or you always have it plugged in like a desktop replacement kind of setup. it's important bc setting a charge limit to 80% and below extends the life of the battery

Thank you is there any way to do anything about this yourself or is this laptop doomed to a life of poor battery performance?
Hmm. I got the Vivobook that was posted here for $405 after tax, but wondering if this would be worth the price bump? It's not for too much gaming, maybe Counterstrike 2 and definitely some Minecraft with mods. Backlit keyboard is definitely a plus

Got this laptop bout 3 months ago I've had no issues so far. I replaced the RAM with 32 GB.
Photoshop and Lightroom works effortlessly. Blender also works relatively smoothly.
Games like Apex Legends run smoothly on low/medium settings if you have it plugged in.
Does this laptop have a MUX switch for going to integrated graphics and back to the GPU?
Think many have similar questions on how igpu and dgpu work in these machines. I did some digging, it seems like you don't need to do anything. normally both gpus can be used at the same time.The os handles the GPU load. The heavy lifting would naturally go to dgpu. There is a small Nvidia monitor program can tell which programs are using the dgpu.
Well, at least it's better than integrated graphics...
Not anymore. The Intel Arc-8 integrated graphics produce faster framerates in many games compared to the RTX 2050. Even the AMD 780m beats it sometimes.
For example:
Lies of P: 56.9 vs 37.5FPS
Cyberpunk 2077 2.0: 35.7 vs 31.6FPS
Counter Strike 2: 111.1 vs 74FPS
Baldur's Gate 3: 36.9 vs 35.8FPS
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: 28.4 vs 18.8FPS
Atomic Heart: 61 vs 48.7FPS
FPS for 1080p, low graphics settings. Arc-8 vs 2050.
This is pretty lame. A friend of mine bought an HP gaming laptop a couple years ago for more than this and it came with a GTX 1650. Ryzen 6000 H series cpu. The GPU is pegged while the cpu hardly does anything.
And this RTX 2050 is only slightly better than the 1650.
If it's anything like his HP, sometimes HP puts a lockdown on various hardware. We tried 3 different wireless cards. It refused to acknowledge any of them except for the one it came installed with. And it's a piece of junk and drops WiFi signal all the time. So weird. I have an HP Elitebook and I don't have those issues. Must be HP consumer stuff isn't so sharp in certain areas

HP confirmed they have 0 plans of including that feature in a BIOS update
So since they were not interested in fixing their neutered BIOS
I wasn't interested in ownership, so I promptly returned mine
