Budget is not an issue sir. Actually, I just want an entry to mid-level gaming platform sir kasi first time owner po ako ng gaming laptop so I just want to experience first how these laptops work kasi wala po talaga ako idea about computers. Siguro after a year or two dun nalang ako mag shift sa higher end laptops.

Here in my place sir Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51G (i7-7700HQ) costs around PHP46,000 - PHP48,000 and Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52 (i7-8750H) costs around PHP57,000 - PHP59,000. My budget is PHP60,000. Syempre ayaw ko din isagad sa budget baka po kasi may mas maganda pang laptops with lower price compared to my choices so tanong muna and research muna ako sir. Medyo sigurista kasi hehe.

Kung kaya budget mo go for i7-8750H na dahil 6 cores na yan. Pero pag ganyan price range makakahanap ka na ng 1050 ti gpu

Kung malaki Budget mo go for ROG Laptops

oks na yan sir!

 

[pipeysh]

isa lang ang downside ng nitro 5, thermals

i suggest doing a little undervolting for both cpu and gpu
ginawa ko yan sa dell g3 ko, ngayon kayang kaya na babaran sa games, no thermal throttling

What is undervolting sir? I'm a noob when it comes to PC's and PC related stuffs. Although I noticed that when I play games for 2hrs straight like PUBG, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry, etc, there's a significant drop in FPS. Mainit din yung top part ng kayboard, I think that's where the gpu and cpu are located tama ba? Fans are also at max (naka auto po kasi sa Nitro Sense) tapos medyo maingay sya, is it normal?

I suggest na try mo muna i-set sa high performance yung power management nya, then always plug in power supply kapag naglalaro, nevr use battery for gaming.
Kapag nag kakafps drop parin, try undervolting, you can search online how to undervolt. I suggest throttlestop for CPU undervolt, and MSI afterburner for GPU undervolt.
Yung heat sa keyboard, normal yan, pwede k nmn gumamit ng external keyboard kung nabbother ka sa init. Also, try changing the thermal compound, mejo low perf yung ginagamit ng manufacturers. I suggest Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound.

Naka high performance na po yung power management ko sir. Then always plugged in kapag naglalaro. Actually I get 70-80 fps on PUBG on high settings pero after siguro mga 1 hour of gaming bumababa sya around 50-60 fps and temperature is around 78-80 degrees. Never pa naman nag exceed sa 80+ yung temp sir while gaming (NitroSense). So ayun sir nag search ako about ThrottleStop (idiot proof naman pala sya ) and follows instructions at YT and my laptop maintains around 70-75 fps after 2 hours of gaming. My question sir is it still necessary to undervolt the GPU? Maraming salamat sa help sir may natutunan ako hehe!

Madali lang talaga gamitin throttle stop. As for GPU undervolting nmn, pwede mo gawin kung gusto mo na bumaba ng konti yung temps, pero di naman required yun. Kung wala na thermal throttling after CPU undervolt, good na yan. Mejo matrabaho kasi ang GPU undervolt for laptops.

ano pala ginamit mo na setting sa undervolt mo? ilang mv?
