Victus 16 consumes excessive energy.
You're experiencing a significant drop in performance, going from 86% to 43% in just 1.5 hours. The battery is showing an average charge rate of -40W, with battery saver, hybrid mode, and eco mode active. Running Windows 11 on power efficiency settings and using Intel Core i7-14650HX with RTX 4050. You plan to download the Windows performance analyzer to investigate further.
The processor and graphics card are using significant power. As a browser, you’d likely keep the CPU busy without much extra work. I own a MacBook Pro not because of its features but because I’ve grown tired of Windows laptops doing this kind of thing. It’s about finding a better balance.
It's incorrect, the laptop relies on the integrated GPU when using battery power. I configured it through the NVIDIA control panel.
CPU usage remains low, averaging around 7% during coding or browsing tasks. The iGPU runs at full capacity even when the laptop is on battery, using only a small amount (4-5%) for display tasks. RTX is seldom active, showing 0% power draw according to HWInfo. I’m mainly checking forums like Stack Overflow and Reddit, as well as YouTube, to get more insights. This device claims a 5-hour battery life, but that’s not what I’m experiencing. It’s also two months old.
