ASUS ROG STRIX G16 BLACK SCREEN SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME

[SEYOH]

I ALL I FOUND A WAY FOR SOLVING THIS BLACK SCREEN ISSUE ON MY ASUS ZEPHYRUS G16.

FIRST YOU HAVE TO USE AN EXTRA SCREEN WITH HDMI CABLE.

MAKE ALL UPDATE ACCORDING TO SCREEN DRIVER

OPEN ARMOURY CRATE

AND GO TO GPU MODE AND CHOOSE ULTIME MODE

I'TS ALL AND IT WILL BE ASK YOU TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.

AFTER THAT YOU WILL SEE YOUR COMPUTER WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WORKED FOR ME AND I WISH THE SAME END. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

That's not a solution. What you did is enable the Nvidia dedicated card to be running at all time, meaning your battery won't last as long as it should and the laptop will train faster than intended. We could have the ULTIMATE mode always on, but this laptop has a hardware MUX that is there to be used. Nvidia breaking that feature is not acceptable : we paid for the hardware, we expect the hardware to work as it should and not having to find workaround that do not even fix the initial issue.

Forcing the laptop into "Ultimate Mode" isn't a real solution, it's just a band-aid that completely tanks your battery life.

We paid a premium for a machine with a MUX switch hogwarts house test and hybrid graphics for a reason, and it's unacceptable for a driver bug to break a core hardware feature like that. 

NVIDIA or ASUS needs to step up and release a proper fix, not expect us to live with a workaround that makes the laptop worse for mobile use.

Exactly, this is not acceptable from a user perspective. If you want you can participate to the ranting in the Nvidia forum that I started. I will not stop until Nvidia addresses the Issue https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/568606/geforce-grd-57688-feedback-...

One thing to note  is the issue described is not happening under Windows 10... Meaning that it could be Microsoft engineers that f*** something up as always
