An Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 user took to Reddit last week to report a strange gaming laptop disappearance. Their RTX 5070 Ti GPU drivers had been magically wiped by Windows, leaving no trace and forcing them to redownload all the required gubbins to get their dedicated GPU back in action. The culprit? A couple of weeks powered down to eco mode.
U/Ok-Horse-3169 first took the issue to r/ZephyrusG14 five days ago, providing a comprehensive rundown of the strange dGPU murder. The user found that when the Asus gaming laptop hits eco mode (activated from within Armoury Crate) it essentially fully disconnects the dedicated GPU from the system.
