Excellently most valuable game optimization video I found yet . Solved most of the issues even those which I was suffering from since 8 months , but all of them got solved. Thanks you are sincere . I value people like you bro. Appreciate greatly and you have my gratitude. I am not overjoyed but I am overgrateful. ❤️🙏🏾
Most of these tips I've already seen elsewhere, but i still subbed cuz you do seem very passionate about what you do so i wish luck sir. Quick question: How did you customise your tool bar that way and where did you find this sick wallpaper?
disabling 8 threads of my octacore ryzen 7 5800h in cyberpunk gave me negative increase of fps, stabile lags and same 90*C good advice, recommend for all
I would recommend using the Lenovo Legion Toolkit instead of Lenovo Vantage. It has pretty much all the functionality as Lenovo Vantage, but it's incredibly lightweight and has a lot more features than Lenovo Vantage itself. I'm rocking a Lenovo Legion 5 with an RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5 5600H.
💥 I bought an brazilian Lenovo Legion 5i i7 12700h RTX 3060 and I hate the lack of definition, sharpness, of the images at the games! The games are not crispy, are blurry! What the hell Lenovo does in their laptops? Yes, the resolution it is set correctly, and the bad image happens even when I pass it to the TV.
Thanks buddy, I turned it on today to just set it up, I will tell you it does get warm quickly.. I gotta figure how to mess around with settings and stuff. But, the screen looks so beautiful@@Houndx
I have a Lenovo, and maybe the options you proposed in this video will apply to it, but first, a question. I updated the bios through lenovo vantage, will it cause problems with the nvidia card or not? even so, it was a very good video, sorry for my bad english, greetings from chile.
i followed your video to the T and im expecting some pretty ridiculous gameplay. only had a slight malfunction updating my nvidia driver. either way congrats on 3k bby.
Holy shit mate, I remember watching your old videos about the 2020 models etc(after getting myself one) and your voice has changed too much that I had to double check the channel lmao. Keep up the good content though! (p.s are you in any of the legion unofficial discords?)
You got a new sub. 👀 Windows 11 registry tweaks/ hacks video next? I know there is one to get the old right-click menu for copy and paste. I hope Windows 11 is better now. I have been trying to avoid it, but I am getting the new Legion 7i this month.
The problem I am having now is I get distracted by the capslock indicator on-screen, do you know how to turn it off, I tried in the settings, control panel, task manager, and services, but it still pops up. Is there a way to turn it off?
if you are playing videogames but then u quit and use the laptop for standard workshop like office or youtube, music and stuff do u switch to hybrid mode? or can u keep without hybrid... also for the performance mode, should i change to balance or quiet as soon as i quit a game? thanks a lot for the video
Great video thanks for all the hardword but on my nvidia geforce experience page once i open the drivers tab and click on the latest nvidia game ready driver it says no information available and one i press reinstall it says driver download failed. Could you help me out please?
Hey man great video. So is there nothing that can be done to overclock cpu beyond what performance mode does? I have the legion pro 5 with ryzen 9 6900hx on the way and the 6900hk is listed on amd website as being able to be overclocked. Any thoughts?
interestingly both lenovo vantage, and the lenovo website that automatically scans for driver updates didn't find the wifi driver update, despite device manager showing it was on older software. Also I don't have core isolation on my 2023 7i pro it says the page not available
Search for the processor boost reg hack. Enabling this allows you to disable CPU boost via your power plan eg in balanced or quiet mode. This can substantially reduce CPU temps with very little noticeable impact on general tasks and even gaming. Works well for me on an AMD Legion 5 Pro. Another suggestion is a frame cap on games eg 75-100hz so that you aren't stressing your GPU unecessarily. Few games really benefit from 100+ frames. Most single player games have diminishingly returns after 75+ fps. This ought to bring your GPU temps down substantially.
This solved everything and I had consistent 180 fps in everything but then I had a huge lag spike and now i get low fps and my game freezes every 5-10 minutes no matter what I do. Someone please help.
I had to use the Windows power mode to reduce the fans. This was impossible with Lenovo's quiet mode. There is a time for gaming and a time for everything else.
Dear, Sometimes my Lenovo S7 does not turn on the graphics card when I turn on the computer for the first time in the day, I have to restart the laptop to get the graphics card connected. Do you know what causes this type of error? My components are Intel i7-12700H and RTX 3060 (I don't know if this information is relevant). Thank you.
Hey Houndx I followed all the steps, but when I load into the game for COD MW2 it crashes my game with the DirectX sign. I don't understand why this is happening, I even updated the latest versions...
Question.. if my laptop doesn’t show you working mode in the legion vantage app does that mean I don’t have that feature or am I missing something? Great video by the way did your steps to the previous video on my laptop in the past and did wonders for me
Lenovo has the download link for the updated driver here: support.lenovo.com/bd/en/downloads/ds552327-mediatek-mt7921-wireless-lan-driver-for-windows-10-version-2004-or-later-thinkpad-l14-gen-2-types-20x5-20x6-l15-gen-2-types-20x7-20x8
@Houndx it would be awesome if you could do a video about thermals on this laptop. I believe there may be something wrong w my thermal paste/heatsink - about to have Lenovo come and take a look at my hardware. Regardless - any tips on thermals would be awesome!! Appreciate the video
I read on a german modding forum that the factory paste in these Legions (Honeywell) is usually quite good and very thick compared to what's shipped in other manufacturer's units
Hi! Thank you for this video! I am at begining of the optimization and it is saying fot the network boost to download the neccessary driver, but I cannot find that..
I have a Legion 5i 2022 - 12700H 32GB - and whenever i play BF2042 the game suddenly quit and crash to desktop. No error appears, nothing. Its so annoying this situation. I tried everything that i saw in YT but i cant resolve this. Do u know what can i do to fix it? This issue only happens in BF2042...
Can we enable our Nvidia Graphics without the Battery applied to it cuz when power is cut off the laptop's discrete gpu dosent work in games. So can we play games like if the power is connected when its not?
I have a Legion 5 with RTX 3060Ti but seeing this I know why Console gamers like PS 7 Xbox they dont have to fiddle as much it just works out of the box
Hello, I have a Lenovo legion S7 15ACH6 and the GPU Working Mode option isn’t showing up. Edit. Most of the options in NVIDIA control panel are also not showing up.
you have advance Optimus and your computer can change from optimus to dGPU mode on the fly,. So it can, in windows, depending on the app, change to dGPU without restarting. To see the Nvidia options, open the Nvidia control panel and under "Manage Display Mode", from there you can change it to the discrete GPU by selecting "Nvidia GPU Only". Then, a bunch more Nvidia control settings & options should be available to you in the control panel. After you are done, I would recommend changing the Display Mode back to Auto from Nvidia GPU only and then let it auto switch to Nvidia GPU when you are playing games. It should auto switch depending on the app but if it is not, you can check or set the games/apps in the control panel as well. It will in the "Manage 3D settings" section, under the dropdown that says "preferred graphics processor". Find the game that is not auto switching, and pick "High Performance Nvidia Processor" for the preferred graphics drop down menu.
Why do you not want the PhysX system software drive? Also with the hyper threading options, I have a 6 core CPU ( 12 threads/logical cores ). So should I turn it off?
It is not necessary to install since most people don't use it. As for hyperthreading, I wouldn't recommend you turning it off if you have a 6 core CPU.
Doesn’t matter. No point in having a bunch of space for it to sit empty. I mean, I didn’t buy a 4TB sabrent rocket NVME to… not use it. You’ll replace the NVME with something new way before it fails anyway. That’s like buying a 3090 and then throttling down the clock speed because you’re afraid of high temps for some reason.
I need help my legion 5 3060 i7 11th gen 16gb ram. I have many fps drop in those game i tested: fivem, fortnite rumbleverse. But the games i dont have stutter is: gta5 (online/offline) , valorant. There is no cpu bottle neck cpu is fine at game 60 degrees, gpu overclocked trough bios and using legion fan control, all drivers updated (gpu only dont know how on cpu). I tried many options like using timerresolution and mem reduct doesnt help i get many fps like around valorant 300fps in main game and on fortnite getting arround 300fps pls i need help!!
Hey I have a question! I got the new legion 5i pro and when I change the resolution instead of getting black bars it just stretches and blurs the image 😢 Do you know how I enable to get the black bars?! I’ve seen other people be able to get this so the image looks correct, not stretched.
When i changed GPU WORKING MODE to DGPU MODE does that mean the laptop will always use dedicated graphics cards instead of integrated ones( even when not playing games)

I did everything but nothing happened if you see this can you pleases help me
I did that in my lenovo it has 16 cores it gave me 20 fps in apex

@@Houndxprocess lasso as soon aa i used it my fps went from 170 to 20

Driver updates are also really important for RTX GPUs because they usually add support for ray tracing and DLSS to new games

doesn't core isolation help protect your pc tho? or is it outweighed by the performance it gives?
Pretty good 👍 cranked some of my settings to epic and its getting the same fps as if i were on high settings
