My brother has this laptop. Got an external monitor plugged it in and in overwatch 2 there’s a setting you have to choose in display. His game is at 180 fps the whole time and that’s the cap of his monitor, 180hz. Honestly since the laptop is so cheap compared to others, getting an external monitor might be an option for most. I got him an acre monitor from Amazon it was 109 bucks usd and it advertised 165hz but it ended up being 180hz which is a fat W imo. If you play games like ow2 or Fortnite valorent etc than this laptop is honestly a great pick if u can get a solid monitor to go with it.

I've recently purchased that exact same laptop.

It has been a pretty good experience. The only issue is with the RAM, which can be upgraded, I think, up to 32 or 64, and the battery life is pretty short. If managed well, you can get up to 4 or 5 hours, but I usually don't get more than 2. Also important to mention, in my case, I don't think it's the best, but it's a DDR4 RAM at 3200, and it cost me $600, well actually $599, but yeah, and I got it with a $300 discount, originally priced at $899, but it's frequently on sale. I think it's one of the best new things you can get for that price, although I would surely upgrade the RAM to 16 if you want to do heavy gaming (I don't; I do some casual gaming, video editing, and web browsing, and it is just fine).

The Victus is OK for a beginner laptop, but it does have limited upgradability though. From what I found, most configurations that were "cheaper" only had the RTX 3050 or GTX 1650 or 1660 which is OK for beginners, but once they get more into gaming, they may be disappointed. Not that you can upgrade your laptop's video card anyway, but sometimes it may pay to spend a bit more (and by that I mean another $200 or $300) to get something with an RTX 3060, 3070 or an RTX 4050+ as those will be more future proof at least by a few years. So it's fine as a beginner gaming laptop, but you may outgrow it within a year or two. I learned that a long time ago with various things (cameras, laptops, etc). That being said, the RTX 2050 is a waterdowned 2060 which is an older GPU. If you guys know Dawid Does Tech Stuff, he reviewed a laptop similar to this one (or perhaps the same model with a slightly different configuration) and it did OK, but it also had points where it struggled in modern games, even with DLSS.
