Hello all,
Just wondering if you could give me some advice or sensible expectations of what to expect from my new laptop.
I got my Recoil IV 15.6" a few days ago. I chose the 2070 and a ridiculous 64GB ram.
For work it is running absolutely fine, but I thought I would do a little gaming for the first time in ages and I'm far from impressed.
It played football manager 2021 flawlessly the first evening (albeit very loudly, even on very low graphics settings), the next day it crashed Windows entirely after ~45 minutes, somehow destroying the drivers in the process. The GPU disappeared until I reinstalled them.
This evening I tried Sniper Elite v2. Should be well within its capabilities.
It manages around the same ~45 minutes before Sniper Elite crashes. At least it wasn't the whole OS I suppose.
Also, until I rebooted, for a short while I was having intermittent issues with my headphones plugged into the thunderbolt port. That would be a serious issue for work if that came back.
I'm not expecting too much of this laptop am I?
Thanks for any advice and replies
