Worst thing about Gaming Laptops

[Mr White]

The worst thing about Laptops is the lack of updates even to the newer ones. Example HP laptops have video drivers on some dating back to 2021 and yet they gave 3050 gpu

You don't get the drivers from HP. You wipe out all that Intel and Nvidia stuff with ddu and get the drivers directly from Intel and Nvidia. I have yet to ever have to use drivers from the laptop maker since they had Intel + Nvidia bundled together through Optimus. Which hasn't been a thing since GT/GTX 300 series

ddu removes all the gpu drivers and settings from previous installs, amd/intel/nvidia
when installing drivers it will reset everything to defaults

I'm aware of what it does, what I'm saying is that it is completely unnecessary.

Yes it is a need because Laptops have OEM drivers. Dump that junk so you can use the stand-alone drivers.

Of course you're going to say that you're one of the ddu people I was referring to in my previous post. Drivers installed just fine before ddu even existed and they install just fine without it now. Feel free to keep using it if it makes you feel better but acting like it is some required step is flat out wrong.

The worst thing about "gaming" laptops is that they're not even made for gaming, it's a lie to make peoples buy expensive laptops

[Heretic]

Manufacturers rarely update their sites with the latest component drivers. It applies to PC motherboards and graphics cards, too.

the worst thing about gaming laptop is they are more expensive than desktop and perform worse.
in a word, they are not made for gaming. u sacrifice everything just for portability.

Just get a cheap laptop. Don't do portable gaming...or just get a steam deck and then save thousands of dollars. Then you can also buy a laptop for like 150usd and install Linux on it and run anything else perfectly fine

For me, the worst thing about gaming laptops is the heat. At least with my desktop I can open the side panel or point another fan at it.

Those laptop cooling pads did nothing.

It has nothing to do with how they install/uninstall. My thing is WTF people want to do things the long way. You just run DDU and reboot into Safe mode, click clean and you're done. No uninstalling this and that and a whole bunch to steps and utter BS.

DDU makes the driver wipe 100% effective, and very easy. That's the whole point.

If your Laptop has OEM drivers, you must wipe those out for stuff like Intel and Nvidia. Otherwise you can't use the standalone drivers you should be using.

You don't have to wipe them out with DDU. But again why wouldn't you since that takes all the lengthy steps away from what it is you'd need to do in order to uninstall the Intel and Nvidia stuff.

This is exactly my point. You don't have to uninstall anything, you don't need to be in safe mode, DDU is completely unneeded. The installer doesn't care if you have OEM drivers it will overwrite them. If it were some required step do you honestly think the software engineers at Nvidia, AMD, or Intel wouldn't have integrated the whole safe mode/uninstall into their installer process by now? You talk about doing things the long way but you are making it way more complicated than it actually is.

Yes it does matter. If you baveOEM drivers they will not let you install the standalone drivers. That the whole point. They are different drivers. It will say something regarding incompatible cause the oem driver is installed. Once you uninstall that your good to go. You don't want drivers from the oem or MS. Unless there is a need to use that but on modern laptops since nvidia gt/gtx 500 series this has usually not been the case. However the laptop usually ships with oem drivers which means it will rely on drivers from the oem or MS. The laptop maker basically already shoots you in the foot when you buy any laptop because you are limited on what you can do basically until you wipe those oem drivers off the system.

Now if it's from a custom maker like say SAGER or ORIGIN maybe. They would use standalone drivers from the start. Unlike Dell, Alienware, HP, Lenovo.
