I’m looking at a pretty solid deal for the QHD model right now and I’m wondering if anyone has the same model already. How’s the dual GPU setup?

I’m sorta hoping the 6800M can drive both display outputs without much hassle because I used to have to reboot when I had a 1650 mobile system in order to use the HDMI ports (they wouldn’t output unless the desktop was running exclusively on the dGPU).

    it’s an AMD laptop GPU, not Nvidia but I imagine the internal setup is gonna be the same. If the DP screen will always work with the iGPU without reboot that’s no problem (Already have an adapter for my Steamdeck).

    I’m mainly gonna use it for my KVM setup which uses one display via HDMI and one via DP-USB.

      Ah, sorry, the “Advantage” model skips the Nvidia hardware.

      Should be mostly fine then on Linux, aside from the other ASUS-isms mentioned above.

        I’ve had an Nvidia based laptop too so I know the general weirdness you get with dual GPU setups, but as long as it doesn’t act any MORE weird than that then I’m happy enough
