The full-width heatsink is built from three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely-packed fins for a total surface area of 174,183mm², a 71% increase from the 2022 Strix G15. As someone spoiled with fast computers, a problem like nutty input lag for drafting is unacceptable to me.To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix G16’s chassis and motherboard were both redesigned to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, whose fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. This thread now contains three options for getting this problem fixed. In my testing, yes, this is true, but the instant reduction in quality for the drafting crosshair and selection boxes makes this not a great/permanent solution for me. Recently someone commented that you can solve the lag issue by disabling Hardware Acceleration.



You can solve this (if you have an NVIDIA GPU) by the following steps: The third time (just recently after getting a new computer), it was in fact the system using the integrated graphics processor instead of the discrete/dedicated GPU, as some other comments suggested. Type its name at the AutoCAD command line and set it to 0. "The GFXDX12 system variable is used to make this switch to DX11. The next time, it was solved by changing AutoCAD to run in DX11 not DX12, this is the article I found the solution on: The first time the issue happened it was solved by disabling Whisper Mode in GeForce Experience (this is only applicable if your computer has GTX/RTX graphics afaik).

I actually experienced this problem twice more on two different computers since my original post, so I'll give every single thing I've learned here in a megapost.
