I just got this laptop (Asus TUF A15 2021) today and it surprised me that everything works just fine out of the box on Vanilla Arch, except NVIDIA gpu I had to install it manually on battery power that’s why I enable powersaving mode. As for games performance it’s basically the same as windows no more no less.
This is also my first time using a screen above 60hz, and I gotta say it’s pretty smooth to move around the desktop.
And how much fps youve got afterwards?
90-100 on ultra
Hell yeah, it’s kinda mind bending isn’t it? Feels like dragging the mouse through sand when going back to 60Hz after getting used to it haha
True, I hope this doesn’t ruins 60hz for me because most of my screen are 60hz XD.
Been there done that 🥲
Yeah, took me some time to figure out too
Careful with those laptops though, they run really hot. I have the same one and my dedicated GPU is broken, possibly from overheating but I will admit I can’t know for sure.
35 fps 25W of power
Sounds like a win to me. Or was it slugish?
it’s pretty playable considering it’s on ultra 1080p, far better than what I used to play.
What software do you use to get that overlay on the top left?
It’s mangohud+goverlay
I had recently same issue, but with a different game. Out of nowhere the performance was bad. And it took me even a day to resolve this. My PC does not need power profiles actually, its not a laptop at all. Not sure why or how the profile changed, but it got me from say 100 fps to stutter-fest 17 or something like that. I think that there was a key combination in KDE I hit by accident maybe.
