HP Victus Special Edition specifications

The new series from HP focuses on gamers and creators, who would require high-performing GPUs. It, however, essentially, is a variant of the HP Victus 16, launched in India previously. The laptops come with a 15.6-inch full-HD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Powering the laptops are 12th Gen Intel Core processors, paired with up to 16GB of RAM. The storage models, however, are not specified yet.

The laptops use NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050A GPUs with 4GB of virtual RAM. HP says the dedicated GPUs in these laptops will offer ray tracing capabilities on laptops while playing AAA titles. They will also help the main processors process artificial intelligence (AI) features and run on-device AI models. Keeping the lights on is a 70Whr battery, which adds to the laptop’s weight of 2.29kg. The Victus Special Edition uses a full-sized backlit keyboard, as well.
