Guys I run my OC2 off the USB C which I understand is direct from the graphics card so mux is I believe not relevant? However the main screen displays my OQ2 output. Am I taking a performance hit from my igpu?

I have a similar ionico (but 15"). i7, 3070, 32Gb Ram, Ssd's Seems a pretty good laptop to me. Very pleased with it.

I'd like an EH101 (actually EHI01 but nobody calls it that). Worked on those 25 years ago in my first job at Westlands.

As a Devonian I hate to admit it but I do the Cornish method... mainly as I like lots of clotted cream. The Devon way is actually more logical as the cream essentially replaces butter as the adhesion method as per any normal sandwich. And I say scone (rhymes with bone). I saw a documentary a...

I could connect my usb C oculus quest to my ionico 15 for what it's worth. Although I just use airlink now.

I am not sure whether the optimus is tongfang or clevo? My tongfang (Ionico) has a Control Centre. This is not part of windows but a system created by the laptop supplier. I know you can also play with the PL values with a programme called throttlestop, however I defer to others with more...

Have you inadvertently set the cpu power level too high in the control centre? I set my gaming profile similar to turbo profile (120w?+) and was mid/high 90 degrees. I then backed it down to either 30,35 or 40w and temps now in the 80s for MSFS20 in VR (though game on system). Turbo is for short...

Often feels more like Microsoft Settings Simulator... it can go from awesome to rubbish one day to the next without any updates. It's probably because we need to all fly off MS servers due to the petabytes (is that right) of Bing earth photo data? First game in my life where I keep an excel...

Yep. No current VR headset will look like ultra on a 4k monitor (maybe not even 1080?). However the sense of immersion is wonderful. With MSFS. Turn off your FPS counter, turn visuals to low and work back up until you have an acceptable level of smoothness vs visual fidelity.

By that logic everyone with any realistic home PC should stop playing MSFS20. I seriously doubt anybody is getting 80hz plus. There are extensive forums of people playing. Smooth motion is the key. Admittedly this may not always be possible for trees and buildings looking out at 90 deg at 100ft...

I have an oculus quest 2. It is awesome and cheap (£299). They have stopped selling rifts as a result. Works amazing as a stand alone based on a mobile phone processor not a i9/3090. For PC VR I have read about people playing MSFS20 (most demanding game on VR) on a 1080. Clearly on low settings...

I had silly high temps (95degC +) with essentially turbo mode selected in games so CPU had access to over 100W. As a console gamer I had not realised it was a pretty pointless show off profile that was not sustainable. I now run either 30W, 35W or 40W in control centre. MSFS20 in VR is CPU 80-89...

I have an ionico 15. It is quiet when idling, cpu sits around 40-50degC. sometimes the fan spins up a bit when left in game mode but seems to stay quiet in office mode, not sure if temps are lower as I rarely ever leave it in office mode / igpu. Obviously noisier when gaming.

Seeing the VR comment, my Ionico 15, i7, 3070, 32gb, ssd is great for VR. Struggles a bit with MSFS on med/high (Oc Quest 2) with CPU & GPU 75-85degC but sounds like everything struggles with msfs!

Forgot to mention mines also sat on a cooling pad which probably knocks a couple degrees off.
