wait jarrod for budget users can u use an external gpu on a gaming laptop?
So I wanted to get this laptop HP Victus 16.1-inch R5-5600H/8GB/512GB SSD/RTX3050 4GB Gaming Laptop
but i also want a higher gpu
@JarrodsTech what is the refresh rate of the monitor ur using in the video
I have a Dell Inspiron 5577, how to check whether my HDMI port is connected to the dedicated graphic card ( NVIDIA GTX 1050 - in my case) ?? how to ensure that my external monitor is running with my NIVIDA graphic card

Jarrod is the Gold Standard when it comes to in depth tech reviews for all things gaming laptops. Great content! I recently purchased an external monitor for my 17 inch Lenovo Legion, but hadn't really gotten into gaming with the external turned on (too used to the keyboard layout and feel of just using the laptop for gaming). This is good info to know. I might use that "only use external monitor" feature you mentioned and try gaming on the external!
i think if your laptop supports advanced optimus, it can still get output directly from the dgpu to the laptop internal screen.
@@darrenc2370 hey im not sure if ur gonna see this and if u know the answer, but i wanna know if my lenovo legion 5 will get better performance using an external moniter do u know?

Besides connecting to an external monitor you should put the laptop on an elevated stand that has an air-breathing base. That, leaving the laptop lid open and connecting it to external monitor will enhance the fps by at least 15-20%
Wish I could post a pic of my set up...
@@mikelreborn3254what's that?
Absolutely. I see many people play with laptops in their beds, choking them.
Most laptops now come with mux switches so they can turn optimus off. The monitor part isn't relevant anymore. It's useful for those who have older laptops.
what if i just keep the laptop upside down?
Lmao all this time I thought it worked the other way round 🤣
Me too! Like, an external monitor have more pixel to push than the laptop monitor and thus low FPS when using an external monitor. But reality is complete opposite lol!

this thing has been bugged me for quite a years, thanks to this video i feel so relief now. i keep thinking the performance was relatively worse when using laptop screen compared to when using an external display. and now i know why
Mystery solved!
Even then performance doesn't seem as good as it should be. My ryzen 2700 still runs circles around my i7 8750h despite this. I don't get it man. I really don't get it. It drives me mad.
Now I got to convince my parents to let me buy a moniter lol.
This sounds like it should be as effective as RGB lighting is at improving frames
Only thing is that this does work
You can use Super (Windows-key) + P to switch screens on any Windows computer :)
Thanks dude
Thanks BonJarno
Thanks Brodinski!
is there a way to keep the laptop closed without it turning off when connected to a display?

Evan Wiger wow
This is why laptops are the best. And if you want, you can take your entire rig in a bag. PCs can’t do that.
Did this increase FPS for you
The explanations are as much appreciated as the testing. Thank you!!
Hi Jarrod, i have an ASUS TUF FX505GM NVIDIA GTX 1060, 16GB, 15.6" FHD 144Hz 3Ms, i7-8750H Gaming Laptop, will it be fine if i buy an external monitor? Also Which one are you suggesting? i want around 24"-27". Thank you

This video really helped me out. Last week I was at my local Walmart and they had a Asus Strix laptop with an 8 core 10870 i7, 2070, 16gb dual channel ram and a 144hz 1080p panel on clearance for $1149. It was on clearance because it was considered an open box because someone purchased it and returned it the same day. The laptop was still sealed and had never been opened. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I've been on the fence lately of purchasing a 144hz external monitor not only to game, but to have dual monitors for work purposes. After watching this video, I'm going to invest $200 on a nice 24" gaming monitor. Thanks again!
Did it work? does it work on razer laptops?
Goddanm thats a nice price ur lucky
That price is nuts.
I love the way he says “though”
Its so funny LOL
That's autistic Aussie accent for you.
It's an interesting thing indeed.
I had a laptop that I use to play games.
It has low/mid-end specs, around that range.
So If I connect an external display, somehow it felt that the game run way smoother.
I don't know if that was only my optical illusion, or the size of the screen that caused my perception to change, or is it actually improving the performance.
plugging into a monitor purely uses the GPU = more fps, if your using just the laptop screen it uses the windows graphics card and GPU which slows it down = less fps
probably just a higher refresh rate
@@akhilsistla7416 Nope, it's just the GPU usage that caused it.
@@putraseptiadi3071 question, if i have an intergrated gpu alone, will i still get higher fps on an external monitor?
specifically the asus rog with the rx 6800m igpu and ryzen 9 5900hx/5980hx?
damn the thumbnail wasn't even clickbait damn ,, your my favourite RUclips now !!!
i know i got a 100 fps boost by connecting to a monitor
Buying a 24” AOC monitor has breathed new life into my 2019 Acer Helios (with 60hz panel). It’s amazing what this laptop is still capable of accomplishing.
So the more CPU bound you are, the more of a boost you get
The most under rated tech channel on RUclips! 🔥
Thanks! 🔥
Jarrod'sTech well ur not under rated but your a good youtuber, when it’s a tech title
Been watching your videos for a few days and I've decided to sub because of the sheer amount of work you put into them. Kudos, man.
I have an MSI GT76 Titan with an i9-9900K and 200 watts 2080. I wanted Optimus because I use it often away from the plug and it saves a ton of battery.
One game JT didn't test that I found was by far the most restricted by Optiums was Metro Exodus. I gained 26% more performance with an external monitor. 3DMark suffers badly too.
I have tested today. With lenovo l340 in cs go and pubg. I got substantial fps gain with external monitor. Thanks jarrod
Hey bro i want to ask you something, i have 120 hz laptop and i just want to buy 240 hz monitor, Is it worth it?
@@user-oc9ch5jh1d late but depends on your specs.
Great video Jarrod! That's why I like Gsync !
🤩
I've always thought that plugging in a monitor to your laptop would have higher frame rates when gaming because your laptop consumes significantly less power as it doesn't have to display anything to it's monitor - and of course, because the thermals are significantly better
It's true. I used my external monitor to play games, and it's literally boosting my FPS!
Any monitor ???? I have one simple led monitor , don't have g-sync
do you connect your headphones/mouse/keyboard to your laptop? and how about fan noise?
What is optimus?
I use an external monitor 90% of the time. But I still have laptops around the house because they are easier to take with me when I work on the road.
The FPS in gaming is nice, but I also find when the work area of an external monitor is simply nicer.
@OFFICIAL GAME4 No, not for me.
I have only seen improvement with external monitors.
But it does drop when unplugged from the wall, even if connected to a screen.
@OFFICIAL GAME4 Playing while charging a laptop will actually allow the laptop to use its maximum performance without damaging the battery in the long run
What game is that?
@@shadow392 Wouldn't having it charging at all times affect the battery, as it reaches 100% constantly?
@@Axxxel_in_Harlem Yeah, I usually only have it plugged when I’m playing. Other than that causal use or its not on charger
Nice and informative video as always Jarrod. Keep them coming!
You got it!
You're the best Jarrod! Thank you!
No you're the best, thanks for watching!
Noticed this while testing my new laptop gaining 20% more frames on some titles and had to search for answers. Awesome video, thanks for clearing that up! I now have more reasons to hate switchable graphics!
mine seems worse
@@MurderdMeriva Make sure your laptop's screen is no longer displaying anything, set it to only use the external monitor. Is your laptop and monitor resolution the same?
@@charldhechter ultrawide monitor won't reduce my laptop performance right?
@@ProfOtaku39 I would think so, you'll be running a higher resolution which takes more processing power when gaming.
@@charldhechter 💀💀 should I get it? My laptop is Ryzen 74800h + rtx3050 75w
To check if your hdmi connect to gpu by open the “set physx configuration” on nvidia setup and check if any hdmi image, sometimes thunderbolt act as DP so you can use it aswell and utilize the gsync feature (gsync wont work on hdmi)
Thank you for explaining why the performance increases when using an external monitor. It is also worth noting that if you have a laptop with RTX 2070 or 2080, connecting the computer to an external display with resolution of either 1440P or 4K yields additional gains in gaming performance. As far as I can tell, the reason is that high end RTX cards seem to want to run at more than 1080P and the 45W 9th gen intel i7 CPU in my computer creates a significant bottleneck in AAA games that tend to be more CPU intensive when running at 1080P. Outputting to an external display at either 2K or 4K seems to alleviate the CPU bottleneck so the benefits stack.
Hi, May i ask is it consuming alot of battery for the laptop while it's connecting to a external pc?
@@zion7806 I never use the computer on battery with the display. If I’m at the desk, I might as well be plugged in.
hi may i ask if you connect it using HDMI 2.0 or dp because my laptop doesn't have a dp
@@itsyoussef8402 I was using the HDMI port on the computer. The 1440P display allowed me to select 165HZ as a refreshrate option and enable g-sync.
I'm dead when was struggling packing the monitor in the backpack 😂😂😂
I need a larger bag 🤔
@@JarrodsTech yeah the razer one
For me with the dell g3 3590, this works way too well. In creative mode in fortnite I get 70 fps in the internal screen, and get up to 700 fps on an external screen (With lots of rgb and a cooling pad). AND got 96th percentile. WOW.
This solved my confusion about why all apps start running on the GPU when using an external Monitor.
The easier to run titles gets mega shafted, optimus acts like a soft cap of sorts on frame rate
Yeah pretty much
Hey jarrod I've been following ur videos for the last year and I'm really loving it so far. I even followed your reviews and got myself the Lenovo Y540 back in August 2019 with the GTX 1660Ti variant. It'd be really great if you make a video on Gaming monitors to complement my gaming laptop, and what criteria etc i should look out before buying a monitor specifically to connect with my laptop?
Ive been looking everywhere for why the heck this happens! Thanks a lot.
No problem!
Gonna give this a try with my gaming monitor. Bit worried about input lag but I'll see how it goes 👍
Do you think the Helios 300 2019 might be suffering from performance issues due to Optimus?
Yeah, I'm wondering to for all the Helios users
@@dankhalilbantuas582 I hope Jarrod sees this reply Lol
@@s-tiergaming6378 yeah i wanna know this too
@@Tunir007 I haven't experienced any performance or throttling issues with my Helios 300 though I still want to see the number differences.
@@s-tiergaming6378 have you used an external monitor? If not your experience means nothing. I wanna know if optimus is throttling my performance.
This video has just proven my hypothesis. Thanks Jarrod.
Wow I didn't knew this, great video
Howww HOWWWW does every time I think of something one of your videos on that topic instantly pops up on my front page??
This is actually a really informative video, thx!!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I was wondering why no one made a video about this
Until now!
I already use and external monitor but I didn't know I was getting a frame boost. Thanks!
This makes more sense, I played fn without an external monitor and I was getting 160fps with stutter in public matches (performance mode on high mesh) and I was so confused why my FPS decreased from when I was playing on my monitor, with monitor I get around 220-310fps pubs, and 300-400fps in creative
One suggestion ,
With Laptop's RGB keyboard all keys set to red (warmer colour) with full brightness of key light V/S keyboard lights off... Many have told that there's is a slight temperature difference between the two...
Makes sense... theoretically. LEDs are efficient, but not 100% efficient meaning they technically produce a bit of heat, so turning them off would help. I wonder if it’s enough to actually be measurable.
This is actually impressive. I tried this with my Acer Nitro 5 Spin and got a +20 fps in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order on 1360x768p low settings. Although it did stutter more on the external display, but I'm getting a cooling pad so hopefully that will help the stuttering.
More RAM reduces and/or stops stuttering
Why would it stutter on an external display and not on the laptop itself?
Does ur Laptop have a discrete GPU or a Intregated GPU?
This actually works great in ETS2, you only have to use 50% scaling while using 1080p and still have uncompromising quality.
I've been running an external monitor for over a year and never noticed. I have a 1440p monitor but the laptop screen is 1080p. Good to know! Thanks, Jarrod

Jarrod are you safe from Corona? As you live in Australia and I heard they have declared national emergency stay safe man and keep providing good content
Its about 500 here with 6 deaths
That's not too much. In Germany, it are 10.000 cases and I'm also still doing fine for example
It's not too bad at the moment, but I think we're behind many other countries so will probably change over the next week or two. I work from home at the moment, so not really an issue or change for me, my partner goes out to work daily but her work might change to work from home soon - hopefully it does then we should be pretty much set!
@@JarrodsTech it's been over dramatized, causing everyone to panicky buy.
@@street87vl55 It wasn't over dramatized. Older people, and people with previous conditions, can die easily from this virus. For healthy young people It's not lethal most of the times and many times isn't hard, making it spread very fast and very easily among the population. Then, when young people dismiss it, and don't address it with the proper seriousness - "it's just like the flue", "it it not dangerous", "everything will be OK", "I will not get it" - you get Italy, or Spain, when big part of the population gets sick in a matter of weeks, and hundreds, then thousands, die. Not so much the young ,as the weaker, sicker, and older people, probably someone's parents.
today my new monitor for my laptop arrives and this video poped up, great content
I wanted to search (some time later) for this specific topic about what exactly of performance can I expect from connecting an external monitor. This video showed up in my recommended. I did not ask for it yet, but am glad it did. Thank you very much, you are doing God's job.
Great review. For older laptops the benefit could be much higher. I have an old Metabox P640, i7-6700hg and GTX-670m. I always knew from the NVIDIA utility that the external 1080p monitor is connected by DVI-DVI though the Intel GPU, but didn't expected performance penalty. Yesterday I got a mini display to HDMI cable, which connects directly to the GTX-670m and the difference is massive. I estimate FPS went up +50% on World of Warships and Total War series, I don't have any of the games you test on.
Thanks! Wow nice improvement!
That is not old, i would sell my car for your laptop
This is exactly what I was looking for ! Was looking for egpu setup but this might be better. I Can't give up the mobility and use of laptop as a daily driver but when you game for 2-3 hours why not do it at higher fps and a better screen at home. Can you suggest laptops under 800 dollars with corresponding screens which can boost the gaming experience ?
the fps improvement is fr
Jarrod doing incredible job
I have always used an external monitor and whenever i went somewhere and worked from my laptop screen away from home it was always sluggish and not so responsive ... and i thought that it might be because i have a external monitor connected and it used the discrete GPU instead of the Intel UHD 630 that explains why i have 0% usage in task manager on the UHD graphics ... now i know thanks for the video !!!

Bro BRO the thumbnail wasn’t even clickbait
Quality review, exactly what I was looking for. Just got a question about the scaling issue. I've recently ordered the g15, it has a 1440p native resolution. I want to get an external monitor, Alienware 240hz 1080p, so just wondering will there be any scaling issues and such if I were to connect them. Is there any way to solve the issue if so, as I don't want to play on a 1440p external monitor, I'd rather get more FPS.
no there would be no issue think about it if your monitor is capped at 1080 how is it going to display 1440 you will have no problem with scaling
your computer will detect the external monitor resolution automatically and use that for your external monitor
I have Alienware 240hz and it automatically inputs that said resolution on laptop/pc
In my laptop I actually get an fps boost of 15 fps in rainbow six siege just by using an external display and turning off the laptop display I believe its something related to power delivery
That sounds like it's exactly what I'm talking about in this video - the external monitor is bypassing optimus.
