I’m looking at a pretty solid deal for the QHD model right now and I’m wondering if anyone has the same model already. How’s the dual GPU setup?
I’m sorta hoping the 6800M can drive both display outputs without much hassle because I used to have to reboot when I had a 1650 mobile system in order to use the HDMI ports (they wouldn’t output unless the desktop was running exclusively on the dGPU).
I can’t find specific listed support for this model through
asusctl, but it definitely supports similar models. There is a very good chance everything withasusctlwill work out of the box, and if not, open a ticket and they’ll help figure out what would need to be changed to add support.asusctlsupports stuff like fan curve control, aura sync (RGB stuff), throttling profiles, and GPU mode (hybrid/integrated/dedicated) switching, all in Linux. There is a GUI frontend for it that comes with it calledrog-control-centerif you don’t wanna use command line, but it will have fewer features exposed.You can find info about it at their GitHub:

UPDATE: Looks like in the compatibility list, the last letter can sometimes be omitted, so it does look like your model (G513QY) is in fact supported, as G513Q is listed in the supported devices list. That should mean most main functions work.

It might be since there’s technically two models (one has a 1080p screen and another has a 1440p screen). Thanks for taking a snoop!
