G14 4080 Various Game Performance

Ойындар

Back by extremely unpopular demand! I'll be putting my Zephyrus G14 RTX 4080 through its paces while simultaneously fumbling around OBS like a fool. Why would I subject both you and I to this disaster? Because some of you are gluttons for punishment, and want to see how this gaming laptop handles some AAA titles in the real world.
I will be running three of the games I commonly play - Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon 5. After reviewing my base system settings to maximize performance, I'll be playing each game and showing you how it runs with all settings maxed out, and then the game settings I adjust to get as close to the 165hz screen without giving up too much visual quality.
Apologies for the grainy game video. This is the first time I've used OBS, and clearly have to adjust some settings in order to capture clearer footage. However, the FPS counter is visible, so you can see the impact of setting adjustments on speed.
As always, if you have questions, or want to see how this machine will handle a specific game, just reach out and I'll do my best to get you an answer!

    I’ve been combing through laptops for the past few weeks trying to do my homework on best bang for the buck I can get. I think you’ve helped me decide on this one so thanks a million! And I’ll definitely be trying out your tweaks after I set mine up. Have you tried running anything like mw2 or helldivers 2 on this thing? I’d love to see how well it handles it.

    You did such a fantastic job, with your 3 video upload about the G14 4080 ! If all goes well with my purchase...I join the G14 ranks soon too. Maybe you can do a follow up video in a couple of weeks since you do extensive gaming once in while😅 greetings🎉

    Thank you for the nice compliment! I haven't been gaming much - I'm actually working on a YA novel for my kids which has eaten up my time, but I'm going to do an updated Phantom Liberty/Cyberpunk 2.0 video, as well as one for Space Marine 2 when it comes out!

    You got me with the 60 fps lock haha. Really impressive performance. Thanks for also running things on maxed out settings, I was curious about that. Where's the link to your magnetic ball btw? And maybe a link to your screen? ;) Love your vids, you have great delivery. Sounds like you have a career in technical sales or something. Edit- I bought the thing! Thanks so much for your help!

    Thanks for the kind words and congrats on the purchase! I'm absolutely loving the balance of power and portability. For the magnetic ball stand: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NKP4MPZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 When you say my screen, are you talking wallpaper?

    Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! First, the balls stand. Here is a link to it on Amazon Canada. If you can't find it, you can get the general idea and look for something similar: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NKP4MPZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For the pac man gif (Thanks to iambored35 on reddit): drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_FsWd2CAjAK13t82ZucTlNGabuI3laWF - It's in the Gaming folder

    Just bought one today. Pretty blown away by your benchmarks. Just to clarify the processor for you was the Ryzen 9 7940HS? I got the thing on sale from £3000 to £2299

    Yup! Again, my biggest surprise was the lack of impact disabling cpu boost had on the games I played, aside from dropping temps 20 degrees.
