January 19, 20242 yr Sorry for the long title. My gaming laptop so far is more than able to run MSFS with medium and high settings (using Frame Generation+DLSS). But my laptop screen is only 15"6 inch wide. Been researching a bit and it is possible to make use an external monitor as the main one and set the laptop monitor to off. Some say it even increases FPS (although that's not my objective). Please kindly share your thoughts and experience (or experiment) so I can decide empirically that this is might be a good (and cheap) idea to add immersion I thank you beforehand DA B760M PRO4 | i5-13400F | RTX 3060 12 GB | G.Skills Ripjaws 32GB | MSI MAG A550BN | Ace Power 1 TB NVMe | Cooler Master Hyper 212
February 9, 20242 yr I took that route 3 years ago, but with P3D. Since my laptop only had HDMI ports, I couldn't use GSync, despite my monitor (my current one) being somehow compatible. The only advantages I got were a bigger screen and more refresh rate options (instead of only 60Hz in my laptop display). I never noticed any FPS increase back then. The biggest risk is that you may want more and would end up purchasing a desktop computer afterwards 😂 Edited February 9, 20242 yr by Luis Hernandez Best regards,Luis Hernández Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11.
