RAZER BLADE 16 | Bigger. Better. Still The Best.

I want confirmation that the switching screen has G-Sync. The information is vague just says “Ready”, the official press site seems to imply that maybe the QHD IPS screen is the one that can do G-Sync

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

Hey guys I have made a Reddit meta-thread with advice for the Advanced QHD, such as how to go above 60Hz among other things. Hopefully it will spread awareness of how to turn this laptop from a dud to legit the best portable gaming laptop on the market. https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/n7uavk/tips_razer_blade_15_advanced_21_qhd_igpu_above/

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

ha1o2surfer96Use CRU (https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU) to manually add a custom refresh rate when in optimus mode. Works great! They software lock out other refresh rates for some odd reason. Imgur Link: https://imgur.com/01eCdyb I chose 120hz for battery life. CRU Link: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) (monitortests.com) Sir, I owe you more than one beer. You helped me turn this laptop from a turd to my dream laptop. The default 60hz limitation was making it so that I didn't want to use the laptop anymore and even considered selling it. Now I'm in love with it. Running it at 120hz on Optimus and runs like butter. I even removed the option to run it at 60hz altogether.

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

RanzenbergerSame to me. I had ordered a RBA15 RTX2070 Full HD 3 weeks ago and was so positively surprised - it was my first Razer Laptop ever - that I decided to change it for the newer QHD RTX3080 model. As I do use a lot of audio editing software the bigger screen is a plus, besides the more on RAM and HD space and worth the +800€. At the moment I regret changing my 2020 model into the 2021 model. First the bummer that internal Graphics is locked to 60Hz. Second, that gaming performance in Overwatch is stuttery every 3-5 seconds, even I did severeal factory resets It has both being so fluid before on the former machine, desktop work and gaming :frown_:. Third thing is, that Synapse doesnt work properly with Overwatch any longer. At my 2020 model keys were automatically colored differently when the game started (WASD, Special Abilities etc.) but now the keyboard keeps statically illuminated. I hope all these things can be fixed software sided soon as I really like those Razer Laptops

easytruckBeauBlue589AFAIK you’ll have to return it and get the FHD model which uses traditional Optimus I see. What a bummer. QHD + G-Sync were the main reason I was upgrading. A return to Razer may be in order.

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

I have my RB15A QHD on the mail. So I was disappointed to read here that when using the iGPU it is limited to 60hz. Very disappointed, to the point where I may return the laptop. Is there ANY way to use the iGPU at more than 60hz? Is there at least a BIOS switch to boot on iGPU mode allowing for higher refresh rates? I can't stand doing any desktop work at 60hz, and running on dGPU permantently would kill battery life. I'm used to my current 2019 RB constantly running at 144hz regardless of which GPU is active.

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

Can someone test Windows Hello in the dark? As in, completely dark room and a dark wallpaper in your lock screen? With my Surface Book 2 it will detect your face no problem thanks to the the IR blaster, but with my RB15 there has to be at least some light for the camera to see you. I wanna know if there is something wrong with my laptop or if its a limitation of this Windows Hello implementation.

I present to you Firebat's Blade 15! (144hz/i7-8750H)

atrac7I'm torn about trying to upgrade to the new RTX versions...ironically the biggest thing I want from it is the function and symbols keys that can actually light up (finally...) Other than that, I have been very satisfied with my current Blade 15 (1070/144hz). Windows Hello is nice on the new machine too but I can live without it. The current blade is plenty zippy, and plays games at decent enough levels for me. Most of my gaming issues with perofrmance appears to be CPU/throttle based versus the GTX Max Q 1070 or graphics card based restrictions. Will probably wait it out unless I see some sort of phat deal and if I got good money for my Blade. I think I'm more interested in the true next gen display models when they get out of the proto stages. I was a bit sad after reading the announcement of the new Blades, thinking my machine instantly felt "dated". Then i came home and got on my Blade and was like....shit, this is still a damn good computer. I've been lucky to

I’m pretty sure I will. Not just for the new video card, but for the nice iterative things like Windows Hello and fully illuminated function keys.

JoikansaiYes hitting 100 on firestrike isn’t normal. On OC 200/600 with afterburner and enable turbo boost my max temperature was 91, but instead I got decent over 15K score. If i use balance mode around 14k, I hit only 84 max, for gaming I use balance for quiter Fans and better temperature. Did you repaste with thermal grease or liquid metal? Or 15k scores out of the box with an undervolt? And I don't get 100c on Firestrike, I get it on long continuous gaming sessions. On Firestrike I peak around 90

Has anyone done re-pasting with quality thermal grease, NOT liquid metal? Any significant temperature drops? This week I will do something about the thermal situation on my blade. I have both thermal paste and Condoctonaut ready. My Firestrike scores are 14,000+ but HWInfo is reporting temps reaching 100c and thermal throttling during long gaming sessions, and even though the games run great with no visible slowdowns, I'm not comfortable with those temperatures.
