Kiwideziner Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Have you made sure CA is set to use that card and not the onboard graphics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkMc Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 2 13 hours ago, sthieldesign said: How do I do that? Windows Key, type graphic settings, set Chief to high performance. Then NVIDIA control panel, global settings, restore Then NV CP- program settings, set Chief to always use the Nvidia card. Then go to your power profiles and make adjustments or make a high performance power plan (search the web on how). Be sure that machine is set to use high perf power plan on both plugged in and battery. IF you need better battery life and use a different power plan stay away form PBR renderings. While your at it go to your template plan(s) default settings, 3D View Defaults, Rendering Techniques, Physically Based, UNCHECK Use Ray Tracing, (so that DBXs don't use Ray Trace) and set Daytime backrdrop Intensity to something like 500 (may need to turn that down sometimes, rarely do I turn it up) IF you need RTRT then select it for the individual camera using rendering techniques. FWIW my laptop has a bit more kick with a 2070s compared to your MaxQ and can struggle if I'm pushing things but is quite serviceable. Doing the above should end crashes unless there is something amiss with the plan (be very careful importing symbols for instance) and careful about how many lights are in use for a view (use light sets) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean you just got this ? and someone told you it is the latest and greatest? ........I hope not.... as for $3000 you should of gotten the newer 2021 Version which would have the 3000 series videocard in it eg a 3070 or 3080 perhaps if on sale. https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/Razer-Blade-17/RZ09-0406BEC3-R3U1 How to identify a Razer Blade model If it is in fact a year old? ( or nearly) I would start a case with Razor just incase there is an issue and a warranty repair is needed, while you try other things as suggested here......

I think that is the 2020 Model ,( old stock) not the 2021 model , and the 2020 model should of come with a good discount..... Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonikaBarbosa Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Suzan I'm curious if now you are happy with it? I'm looking at exctley the same.. Does it get too hot and loud the fans? Any lags at all when working? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonikaBarbosa Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 one more question, is it a 4k display or if full hD are you happy with its brightness? I'm also returning my Thinkpad, didn't like it, kinda slow.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have struggled a bit with slowdowns with my projects as they progressed...the tell tale slow downs were always revealed by lengthening periods "grains of sand" time as the RTRT redrew with every mouse move...I changed my settings per Marks easy to follow instructions and the identical plan went from 5 or more seconds to redraw RTRT (end of"grains of sand") to no lag.

sthieldesign Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi Monika, I purchased the Razor Intel i9 with 3080 processor I am happy with it, it can support Chief X13 but it does get hot. I bought a cooling tray that it sits on top of to help. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonikaBarbosa Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks Susan. Yes I've watched a few reviews saying that the Razer really gets hot! Is yours a 4K display? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthieldesign Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 I didn't pay extra for screen resolution. I have no issue with the screen display. Not sure if it is 4k These are the specs. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
