2021 Blade 15 Advanced optimus is a joke!

This is my first Razer laptop and boy is optimus so bad. This laptop says it has a 240hz QHD display with gsync but in windows only 60hz shows. So I found out the laptop has to be in nvidia gpu only to get 240hz this is stupid and not what i thought advanced optimus was about so next I found that you have 3 options for display mode: Automatically select which switched between integrated and nvidia gpu only Optimus Nvidia only So I thought ok set to automatically select and its solved some issues when I open my game it switched to nvidia gpu and I had 240hz and gsync avalible. if the laptop was unplugged it switched to optimus mode and when power was reconnected it switched back to automatically select. But if you unplug power it will switch to optimus then if the laptop is shutdown whilst on battery it will be stuck in optimus mode when started again even when plugged in and turned on. So you have to go into the nvidia control panel and select automatically select again to get 240hz and gsync. It should be switching back to automatically select as soon as it boots and is plugged in or as soon as the power is restored.

You're doing better than me. Mine is stick in 60hz full time. If i Chose nvidia GPU I have to restart, and then use an external monitor. The laptop monitor just won't switch on at all in GPU mode. :/
