I’m very stressed about my FPS. This is a very powerful gaming laptop with excellent components, but I’m getting really poor performance in games. My specifications are an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB of RAM, and an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor.
Even in demanding games, my FPS never goes above 110. I’ve tried everything I can think of to improve performance. I’ve set my laptop to maximum performance and tried many different methods, but nothing has made any difference whatsoever.
Could you please explain why this is happening and help me understand whether there is a problem with my laptop? With these specifications, I expected much better gaming performance, and I’m frustrated because I haven’t been able to find a solution.

I am having a hard time choosing between these two great laptops. The G16 has the Intel 285HX+5070Ti and the Legion 7 has the AMD 9955HX+5070Ti. Both have an OLED 240Hz panel and I have installed Lenovos anti-glare screen protector on the legion to make it closer to the look of the G16s screen. The Legion is well made and performs better in game(20% avg bump in framerate). The G16 just feels better to use with its aluminum chassis, perfect trackpad, fuller sounding speakers, and awesome anti-glare coating on the screen. I feel myself leaning toward the G16 but am worried about it holding up for the next 3-5years with regular gaming. I plan on gaming on it for about 30hrs per week and I have tuned the power and fan profiles so that both the cpu and gpu run just shy of 80°C. Has anyone used their G16 like this and how is it holding up?

I’m temporarily moving to Europe for my job and don’t want to carry my desktop around. The Zypherus has had my eye for a while because I want a well rounded premium laptop, not a flashy brick of a gaming laptop that runs 2 hours battery on youtube. I was originally looking at the 5070ti model… but best buy just marked the 5080 model down $750, only $150 more than the 5070ti model. I figured this is probably the best deal I’ll get before I start traveling, so went ahead and bought it. I’m gonna throw in another SSD in its extra slot and call it a day. Yes I know it’s expensive, no I don’t really care lol.

Upgrading from my 5 year old XPS 15 with an i7 12700H, 3050ti 4gb, and 32gb of ram.

So the keyboard isn't working and I shut off the computer & it stayed it on.. Just got this laptop. Anybody have a fix for this keyboard? Keyboard just randomly stopped working after restarting the laptop... Has this happened to anyone?

Got my Platinum White G16 (GU606) on Sept 30. The white rubber feet under the intake are already turning orange at both ends. Clean desk, no spills, and alcohol won't remove it, so it looks like heat discoloration. Anyone else seeing this on a white unit?
