Hello, your question about using gaming laptops with external displays is common. When playing games, you usually connect via HDMI for a larger screen, and you're wondering if turning off the internal display helps. Some people think leaving it on can cause performance issues, but this isn't always true. Regarding Nvidia Optimus, connecting through HDMI might help avoid bottlenecks.

You're all set to run both displays smoothly. Could you share the brand and model of your laptop, as well as the make and model of your external panel and its connection method?

The laptop in question is an Asus TUF A15 (2022) equipped with a Ryzen 6800H and RTX 3070, featuring a QHD display at 165Hz. The external panel can be either a QHD monitor at 100Hz or a 60-inch 4K TV at 60 Hz. I connect via HDMI.
I didn’t mention specific models initially to get a general idea—whether these laptops perform well in such setups. I’ve used external displays with older laptops before and plan to continue doing so even after replacing them.
Recently, I came across a claim about performance problems when connecting laptops to external displays, and I’m seeking opinions on whether this might be accurate.
