Hello,
I need to purchase a new laptop for my father and after some searching I think I made the right choice.
I have a question though... during my research I came across a comment about the CPU of the laptop I selected, stating that it doesn't cause bottlenecks with the 3060.
Later, I looked up specifically on Google and found a confirmation, but only for a resolution of 2048x1152.
When I checked for 1080p, which is the suggested setting for the device, it mentioned that only about 75.9% of the GPU would be used!
My concern is whether switching to 1152p would solve the issue.
Also, on my computer I can use resolutions higher than 1080p (as supported by my monitor), could that work on a laptop too?
The laptop I want is: HP OMEN - I can't locate the exact model, it's not listed. I found a similar one but it had a 512GB SSD.
It has an Intel Core i7-11800H, 16.1", Full HD, 144Hz display, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and the RTX 3060 graphics card with 6GB. It runs Windows 11 Home.
Edit: I discovered the model 16-b0024nq.
Thank you very much for your assistance!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to use your GPU at full capacity rather than letting the CPU run at its maximum? He's likely going to spend most of his time playing games.

No, it depends on the game; nothing will always use GPU and CPU at 100% all the time.
