    Hello guys,

    Would anyone happen to know if the new OLED Aero's coming out have MUX switches for me to be able to disable Optimus?

    And also, does it have a 80w vBios or 90w or something else?

    The previous generations didn't have a MUX switch, so I assume this one won't either, especially considering the lack of GSync.

    No idea about the vBIOS, sorry.

    From what I have seen, it appears to have 2 options in control center for GPU Option 1 is 80w and option 2 is 90w. but this was for the 2070 version and not 2080 I would expect 2080 to be same or would be great if its 90w and 100w options :)

    I bought the i9 2080 oled arrives July 9th. I really like the new look and the battery life, I am hoping this will be the one that satisfies me for travel,work,play, my Aorus X7 DT is still going strong after 2 years and I have never did anything except refresh the paste a few times.

    Thermals concern me especially with i9 but I also like the challenge of trying to get those down.
