Happy to hear that it is working for you 🙂 I tried plugging in the charger and restarting but still black screen for me. Only thing I could do is connect HDMI to monitor and reset the settings back to 60hz to get it to work again. Can you kindly check the image and let me know if there is anything else I should be changing? The only field I edited is the refresh rate at the bottom. For reference I have blade 17 pro rtx3060 165hz QHD.

Thanks.

Attachment below is what it looks like for me. Couldn't get it to work last night either, but connected to power and external monitor, did a restart this AM, and now I am able to select these options for my monitor while on battery / running optimus w/ IGPU

Hi,

Thank you and halo so much for your help!! I went into CRU and as you can see in my last image I had a configuration for 120hz. This would always result as a black screen on my razer screen. Seeing your image gave me the idea of trying different Hz. After trial and error I have determined that 105hz is the maximum I can get (110Hz would give me a black screen) on my Razer screen with no monitor connected while running on the igpu! Thanks again for your help. I believe this limitation may be because I have the rtx3060 and a 165hz screen as opposed to the 240hz that Dugbam has.

Anyways I'm happy! Now when I don't have an external monitor I can browse the internet while on Nvidia Optimus and jump into a game and get 105hz as opposed to the 60hz I was getting before with optimums enabled. Obviously I can go into Razer Synpase and select dedicated GPU mode to get 165HZ but its a hassle to restart and switch between the two. This way I can conserve battery life (when I'm not gaming) and enjoy a 105HZ for both gaming and normal use.

Thanks again!

Got mine (QHD/3070), CRU „hack“ works fine.

Only thing annoying me so much I may be returning it, is the very high pitch fan noise. It’s very very high pitch. Not sure if it’s only my unit or all of them sound like that. May be try another one and hope it’s not so high pitch fan noise?

Otherwise like the QHD/3070 with advanced optimus (with CRU „hack“) very much, but I think I can’t stand the high pitch noise.


Luckily I don't have the high-pitch noise but its not uncommon, I have seen a lot of users reporting it. I found this fix on the Razer Reddit:

Do we really need 360Hz? I have a 240Hz monitor and probably wouldn't notice a difference at all.

It's purely a marketing gimmick IMO

I wish there was a program where is could upgrade your blade by trading in for a discounted price based on what you had but doubt that would ever happen. Also, it still doesn't have the mini display port! big sad

That sucks...
Still stuck with only black models. The mercury white one we had for one model was so much better looking.
And no one needs 300 Hz... 144 Hz Model with 150 bucks saved would be much better...

And why stuck with Intel? They suck and just produce way to much heat which would be better spend with the GPU.

Anyway, how much TDP do you allow the GPU's to take? With this generation eversthing is down to TDP.

Does the Razer Blade 15 Advanced have the optical switch keyboard?

Are any mercury models being made? I was at least hoping they'd remove the green logo like on the stealth

Spoke with a very helpful person on customer support and the answer is yes, the advanced has the optical switch keyboard. Good news 😉

It’s actually not quite thin, 17 inch is blade pro class. However it depends also thermal solution and OEM setting gpu power target that might make it looks not great compared to last gen mobile GPUs. Keep in mind that 17 blade pro has bigger cooling room and higher gpu tgp compared to other maxq laptops that put 2070maxq equals to some 2080maxq (this had tech reviewer, Jarrod tech also mentioned in one his blade pro review) with lower tgp and maybe worse cooling solution, that’s how mobile gpu performs.

Like I said, I'll wait to see when they get their hands on one. Since there will be no max q or other designation anymore with the 3x series, you are at the mercy of the reviewers to let you know the tgp. So we're going to see benchmarks all over the place, even more than the 2x series

Interesting article on the complexities of inferring 30xx base laptop performance from the name (3080, 3070, 3060). I'm sure Razer will do well, but it's a wait and see what design decisions on tgp they made

Looks great! What type of cooling performance will you get?

Nice work man I'm just trying to get.

Who gives me one bike I will give him 63 uc I promise.

So, NVidia has stated, that every Seller of RTX30XX Laptops has to give us explicit Info about the performance. Usually producers tell the TDP.

I can't find anything on Razers Homepage yet. When do you plan to inform us?

Received my blade 15 RTX 3070 165Hz.

Received the following benchmark results.

Strangely there seems to be a problem with the internal display not detecting the high refresh rate. Reaching out to support team seperately

Thanks for posting! The GPU score looks good for a lower TDP RTX 3070 (maybe 13% better than the Blade 15 with RTX super 2070 max-q?). What settings did you have before running the benchmark or was this out of the box as-is? The Aero with the RTX 3080 hit 9646 graphics (105W TDP) as another data point.

Out of the box with all the newest drivers that is available. System on performance mode via razer synapse. Also I ran this on native 1440p if that matters
