Lower life expectancy if using dedicated GPU mode all the time

FiszPLAny issues having dedicated GPU always ON? Yes, and no. Previously notebooks had only 1 GPU - iGPU or dedicated. You had no choice to change GPU on-the-fly like in modern notebooks. Statistically more failures were on laptops with dedicated GPUs. For example there were laptops series that were faulty by design (for eg. hp pavilion dv6000 series) - there was problem with soldering on boards with dedicated GPU (iGPU was fine). Of course, there will be lower life (but it also depends on the usage - will be it used for gaming, mining, video editing etc). On the other side I'd not bother about it, because gaming laptops have good cooling solution, and you've paid for the GPU, so just use it. Just keep it cool - maybe invest for some laptop stand with cooler, so it'll slightly cool the bottom of the laptop, provide better air circulation. When it comes to battery life - of course better life will be on iGPU. For better battery "vitality" I'd charge it max to 75-80%. Thank you for y

Black Screen when switching to dedicated GPU. Razer blade 15 base 2021

Archer4046*Fixed* So I believe I have fixed the issue. Problem was with the latest Nvidia GeForce Game Ready Driver. Uninstalled the driver and everything's good now. I've then been able to switch to dedicated GPU (without black screen) and then change to 165Hz. I done this yesterday and haven't experienced any problems since. Here's a link to another thread where we fixed it. /razer-blade-15-base-2021-qhd-165hz-stuck-at-60hz.69728/#post-730574 This fixed it! Thank your for your reply and reference.

Archer4046I've also tried going into Nvidia control panel to change refresh rate there but no display settings appearing, only 3D settings are showing up. Yeah I have the same thing. I thought it looked pretty empty.
