Hi @Parthas2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your concern, you purchased the HP Victus 15-fa2381TX, which HP advertised as having an RTX 4050 with 75W TGP, but in the NVIDIA Control Panel you’re only seeing a maximum of 50W TGP. Let’s break this down and go through steps to confirm and resolve it:

1. Verify Actual TGP with Tools

NVIDIA Control Panel doesn’t always show the full dynamic TGP range.

Download GPU-Z or HWInfo64 (free tools).

Run a GPU-intensive task (like a benchmark or game) and check “GPU Power Draw”.

The RTX 4050 is usually configured with a base 35–50W plus Dynamic Boost up to 75W.

2. Check NVIDIA Dynamic Boost

HP often configures the GPU with Dynamic Boost 2.0. This means:

The base TGP will show as 50W.

It can dynamically boost up to 75W depending on workload, thermals, and CPU usage.
So what you see in Control Panel is the base value, not the maximum.

3. Update BIOS & Drivers

Make sure you’re running the latest BIOS from HP Support for your model.

Update your NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA’s official site.

Update HP’s OMEN Gaming Hub / HP Command Center, since power modes can influence GPU wattage.

4. Performance Mode in HP Software

Open OMEN Gaming Hub (or HP Command Center).

Set the performance profile to Performance / High Performance.

Some modes (Balanced, Quiet) cap GPU power to 50W for thermals.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Parthas2,

I understand your concern, even with Dynamic Boost enabled, the NVIDIA Control Panel still reports Maximum Graphics Power as 50W. Let’s go a bit deeper to confirm whether the GPU is actually boosting to 75W and ensure everything is set up correctly.

1. Monitor Real-Time GPU Power Draw

The Control Panel often shows only the base TGP, not the boosted wattage.

Download and install GPU-Z or HWiNFO64.

Open the software and go to the Sensors tab.

Run a GPU-intensive benchmark (e.g., 3DMark, Unigine Heaven, or a modern AAA game).

Watch the “GPU Power Draw” value.

If the GPU peaks above 50W (close to 75W) during heavy loads, the system is working as intended.

2. Confirm Performance Mode in OMEN Gaming Hub

Open OMEN Gaming Hub → Performance Control.

Ensure the mode is set to Performance / High Performance.

Some laptops default to Balanced or Quiet Mode, which limits TGP to 50W.

3. Update System Software

Go to HP Support and ensure the latest BIOS is installed for the Victus 15-fa2381TX.

Update HP Command Center / OMEN Gaming Hub to the latest version.

Install the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers from NVIDIA’s website.

4. Check Windows Power Settings

Go to Settings → System → Power & Battery → Power Mode.

Set to Best Performance.

Make sure the laptop is plugged in, on battery power, TGP will be capped.

I hope this helps.
