I do not know if USB-C to HDMI fixes the performance problem, but I would guess that it would.
While I was always aware Nvidia Optimus could cause reduced performance, I didn't know it could be this bad. I discovered this while benchmarking the Asus Strix G17 with RTX 3070 Max-P and Ryzen 9 5900HX. I realize many of you already knew this (because other quality reviewers like Jarrod's Tech and OwnorDisown have covered this in the past), but I didn't realize how huge of a difference this can make, even in the new Ryzen 5900HX CPU and RTX 3070 Max-P GPU. That explain the performance disparity we were seeing the latest benchmarks!
