Vector 16 HX AI — 16 inch QHD+ 240Hz

This 16 inch gaming laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU featuring 16 GB GDDR7 video memory. The 2560 x 1600 display refreshes at 240 Hz for smooth motion in fast-paced titles. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed.

128 GB DDR5 5600 MHz and 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD

Memory is configured as 2 x 64 GB dual-channel DDR5 running at 5600 MHz, giving headroom for heavy multitasking and memory-hungry workloads. The 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface for rapid boot and load times. No additional storage or memory upgrades are required for typical enthusiast use.

Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on CPU

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme compound to both the processor and graphics chip during assembly to lower peak temperatures under sustained load. The cooling solution is designed to minimise throttling during extended CPU and GPU intensive sessions. Power draw scales with the 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency and the RTX 5080 under full utilisation.

Questions about this item

Will the 5.5 GHz turbo frequency hold during long renders?

The 24-core Ultra 9 275HX can reach 5.5 GHz, but sustained all-core loads will drop below that limit as the 128 GB DDR5 system and RTX 5080 16 GB GDDR7 share the cooling capacity.

How loud and hot does the chassis get after hours of gaming?

Gelid GC Extreme on both CPU and GPU lowers core temperatures compared with stock paste, so fan speeds stay moderate and the 1.12" thick Cosmo Gray chassis remains warm rather than hot during extended sessions.

What must I already own to use the 2560 x 1600 240Hz panel externally?

The laptop drives its own 16" QHD+ 240Hz display natively; for an external monitor you only need a cable that matches the GPU output ports on the RTX 5080.
