The Victus is HP’s cheaper budget friendly gaming laptop compared to their higher tier Omen series. It’s been a couple of years since I last looked at the Victus, and while there are some good improvements, they’ve also made it worse in some ways. This review covers what you need to know!

As a college student who also games, the relatively slim design of the Victus makes it extremely portable.

The more I watch reviews and read different subreddits (laptop, gamedev, and engine-specific forums), the more I'm leaning away from the 4050 just because of the cost per value of the gpu. And this video just reinforces that maybe I should consider something from the cheaper 30xx series. Thanks!

@DarknoorX 8 ай бұрын

3060 max 140w for the win, babe!

@mrlito1 8 ай бұрын

Do not forget power consumption (and eventual thermal throttling) as a key criteria. Yes, the 3060 140W laptop version gets better results in some games, but it really needs to consume more than RTX 40XX series in game to perform well. The RTX 40XX series never consume more than 90-110W in game (so far), which means a few $ saved on electricity bill each month and less heat to be dissipated by the cooling system, so less risk of overheat / thermal throttling / eventual battery damage. Consequently, between two gaming laptops sharing the same chassis / cooling system / price, I would definitely recommend to buy the one with (let's say) i5-13500H and RTX 4050 120W instead of the one with i7-11800H and RTX 3060 130W. Edit : I forgot about perceived value if ever you wanna resell your laptop later and the battery which capacity is already impacted after many months without turning the laptop on (which will certainly be the case for a laptop based on RTX 30XX if you buy it in october 2023). Last but not least: the probability of future Nvidia drivers' update improving GPU performance is always higher on the most recent gen compared to older ones.

@neilmarkcorre5524 8 ай бұрын

@@DarknoorX yeah been reading reviews about 3060 being better than the earlier 40xx series hmm any laptop in mind that has this?

@neilmarkcorre5524 8 ай бұрын

@@mrlito1 these are good points. One of my criteria for buying a laptop is definitely some future-proofing. And your point about drivers is a problem I already have with my old unit, an ASUS ROG GL553VE with GTX 1050ti. It's about time I upgrade for work purposes, game development is becoming more demanding. From your point of view, driver-wise how long do you think the 3060 series would be supported by NVIDIA that it won't F up? Because right now, if I update my nvidia drivers I get BSOD after just a couple of minutes of game development. Which always prompted me to revert to an older driver.

I picked this up from Costco a few weeks ago, but with several upgrades (a 4060, 32gb ram, an hx i7, Wi-Fi 6e and the 144hz screen) for $1099 on a sale. It’s been great, and I’m extremely happy with it for that price. I also really like (as you mentioned in the beginning) that its appearance is more discreet than most other gaming laptops. My only complaint is that the 250 nit screen on the 144hz display is a bit dimmer than I’d like (as you also mentioned). But otherwise I love it, and the screen is fine indoors, which is the only place I’ll be using it, anyways.

You can take it anywhere without looking weird, but it still has some gaming look. I heard the general belief in the gaming laptop community is that HP's tend to have some more issues, I haven't used it long enough yet, but I don't have any issues so far. I don't play very extensive games, but the ones I do play run very well. The screen wobble isn't that bad at all, and the plastic build feels solid. My spec is a little different than the one Jarrod has, so stuff like the bad wifi card doesn't apply to me.

10:30 Unless you update the BIOS on the 2022 Helios 300 which caps the CPU forever at 56W PL1 / 45W PL2 (or the other way around, can't remember). 😅 Though even before I did that the behavior was very random, sometimes it'd boost to 115W, other times it'd be limited right away, and it would always stay limited the moment a GPU-intensive app was started, even after closing it, and until a reboot. Hell, the whole reason I updated the BIOS was to see if that could be fixed, but instead it just made it worse. :D And unfortunately there's no way to modify this behavior with ThrottleStop or anything, the power limits values seem to be hardcoded. It makes me think that the CPU boosting to 115W sometimes wasn't actually intended by Acer and it was "corrected" in updates. I'm quite happy with the Helios overall but this is one aspect that I've found rather disappointing. There's just so much performance and thermal headroom left on the table, especially when running CPU-only tasks. So ironically this Victus even with a 60W power limit (let alone the 80-90W limit in performance mode) would still be slightly superior on the CPU side, even if it had the same 12700H CPU.

The loq is better than this version of the victus generally, but the problem with the loq that it has a bad screen colors (56% srgb) in your case if you would like to use it for adobe wich needs good colors you will have to use an external monitor and hp in the other side even with its bad specs it has a 100% srgb screen

I was gifted the Victus with the i5 12500H, and the GTX 4050 config for a $1000CAD on sale and, it's a very good deal at that price point. I would've swapped the i5 for an i7 minimum. The 6GB RTX 4050 with the i5 12500H is decent, but the color gamut could be better. I would rate laptop a 7/10.

Very nice review of HP Victus 16 . Now I got one in December 2022 and after using for almost a year I got some problems : 1) The battery is draining very fast like 2% per minute and I am using the laptop for browsing and listening music ( The best efficiency power doesn't resolve the problem either). Intresting when I plugged the charger it charged up very fast like 5% per minute. 2) The FPS are not as high as they were when I bought it . What should I do in this case ?
