Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3002nf

With its dark angular design, this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creatives has a relatively discreet gamer look.

This creative gaming laptop PC has good connectivity including latest generation Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, Ethernet and audio ports, a useful HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a monitor or a TV for example without forgetting 3 USB including 1 USB-C certainly of a classic speed but which remain practical for connecting several peripherals.

Via the infrared technology of the webcam, you can authenticate yourself biometrically through the Windows Hello functionality and facial recognition.

The chiclet keyboard is of course equipped with a backlighting solution. Simply activate it in a dimly lit environment to better discern its keys.

The screen suffers from its basic specifications for a gaming model. The frequency of 144Hz in any case provides above-average fluidity, including in games.
If both horizontal and vertical viewing angles are important thanks to IPS technology, it is regrettable that this is not associated with higher than average colorimetric accuracy, as is the case with high-end IPS panels.
Well suited to videos due to its 16:9 format, the Full HD screen has an anti-reflective treatment ensuring better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, autonomy of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3002nf

The HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3002nf is aimed at those looking for a versatile laptop PC that performs well in creative and AI-oriented gaming equipped with recent components.

Artificial Intelligence is in the program of this laptop since it is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 processor Krackan Point with AI capabilities housing 6 cores as well as the Radeon 840M graphics module. It is here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide solid general performance which will suit a maximum of users.

The Ryzen AI 5 340 will particularly delight those who operate in areas requiring processor resources that take advantage of multi-cores and AI, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.
Under this type of work, it carries out processing faster than a classic Quad/Hexa Core.

Processing is even faster if it is carried out under applications using GPU computing power (e.g. Vegas, VSDC, Adobe suite).
Indeed, the dedicated onboard GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card is powerful enough to significantly contribute to the acceleration of multimedia work.

Featuring NVIDIA architecture Blackwell recent, the GeForce RTX 5050 ray tracing is a dedicated graphics card thanks to which gamers can play recent games.
This is all the more the case as here the Full HD definition proves to be an advantage since it is associated with a higher number of fps than High Definition (eg: 2.5K) because it requires less graphics calculations to play.

This versatile laptop does not constantly run the GeForce RTX 5050. This is in practice activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically in real time depending on the tasks performed.
Concretely, Optimus makes maximum use of the Radeon 840M graphics solution, thanks to which we can watch HD photos and videos, which is also the case of course with the GeForce RTX 5050.

If the Radeon 840M is favored as much as possible by Optimus despite its much lower performance, it is because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy. In this area, count on around 5 hours of battery operation in light use while waiting for more concrete tests.

Still, Optimus uses the GeForce RTX 5050 ray tracing to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 840M, particularly for gaming.

On the storage side, HP offers 2 slots here, one of them being free to accommodate a second SSD if necessary, which is significant for the scalability of the configuration.
This also extends to the RAM because a DDR5 slot is available to plug in an additional RAM module.

As a base, the brand offers in this versatile gaming laptop a SSD with a standard capacity of 512 GB. Many configurations, including – many – more expensive ones are also satisfied with it.
Of course, to expand the space you can simply plug in an external storage medium. Too bad here that none of the USBs are fast. We will also connect a USB 3.0/USB-C to maximize the transfer speed compared to USB 2.0.

As always, the energy-efficient and silent SSD helps ensure smooth and responsive daily operation thanks to its great speed.
So launching games/software is quick, just like starting/stopping, carrying out processing or even arriving at online game cards.

As for temperatures and noise levels, we must expect them to increase when this versatile, creative-oriented gaming laptop is pushed hard (e.g.: games, processing).
A ventilated support can be used in addition to contain temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
