@victus15f, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
I understand you're experiencing rapid battery drain on your HP Victus laptop, with only 1–2 hours of backup from a full charge. Let's work through some steps to help improve your battery life.

Update BIOS and Drivers

Outdated BIOS or drivers can cause power management issues.

• Use HP Support Assistant to automatically detect and install updates: HP Support Assistant | HP® Support

Run HP Battery Check

This tool checks battery health and calibration.

• Open HP Support Assistant > Battery > Battery Check
• Or use this guide: HP Battery Check Tool

Adjust Power Settings

Use Windows' built-in power plans to optimize battery usage.

• Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery
• Set Power Mode to Best Power Efficiency
• Turn off Background Apps and reduce screen brightness

Check for Background Processes

High GPU/CPU usage from apps like games or editing software can drain the battery.

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
• End tasks that are consuming high resources unnecessarily

Disable RTX GPU on Battery

The RTX 2050 can consume a lot of power. Use integrated graphics when on battery.

• Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings
• Set Preferred Graphics Processor to Integrated Graphics for battery mode

Battery Calibration (Optional)

If the battery percentage is inaccurate, calibration might help:

• Calibrate Your Notebook Battery

You may refer to this document - HP Notebook PCs - Testing and calibrating the battery (Windows) | HP® Support

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
