New gaming laptops with Nvidia's mobile GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards are already powerful, but if you're brave enough, you can get even higher performance.

According to a Baidu user who has a laptop with a GeForce RTX 3080, the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 can deliver 155W of power to a GPU rated at 115W if used properly. This resulted in a 20% improvement in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark.

Now, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is one of the most powerful new gaming laptops with Nvidia's new mobile graphics. Therefore, some say that a performance boost is not necessary.

However, the laptop version of the RTX 3080 does not run as fast as the desktop version due to power and thermal constraints.

However, the cooling of the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 seems to allow the GPU to draw more power than expected without melting. With this adjustment, the GPU reported a temperature of 72 degrees Celsius, perfectly reasonable for a laptop-grade graphics card. [If you are fortunate enough to have a ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, would you recommend making such an adjustment?

A Baidu user achieved the GPU trick by taking the vBIOS file from an MSI GE76 gaming laptop and installing it on a ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, as the GE76 uses a higher-rate RTX 3080, Using its vBIOS settings, the Zephyrus Duo 15 could effectively make it think it has a graphics card of the same power.

In practical terms, a 20% improvement in benchmarks may not mean much when it comes to proper gaming. Also, the mobile RTX 3080 is very powerful by default and can run games like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing enabled. Also, once Nvidia's drivers are updated, it will be possible to get more performance out of laptop graphics.

Finding where to buy a PS5 or an Xbox Series X is a difficult pursuit, and finding where to buy an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is nearly impossible. Therefore, getting a gaming laptop with Nvidia's latest graphics may be a shortcut. Our Best Gaming Laptops list will have quite a few of them in the near future.
