Deal | Affordable HP Victus 15 gaming laptop records massive 33% discount at Best Buy

The Victus 15 and 16 gaming laptops sit below the high-end Omen notebooks in HP’s gaming laptop lineup. As such, the Victus notebooks are less powerful and much cheaper. The smaller HP Victus 15 with a Core i5-13420H CPU, an RTX 3050 6 GB GPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage has now become even more affordable thanks to a generous US$300 discount at Best Buy (news via slickdeals). The discount has pushed the Victus 15 price back down to the lowest level of US$599.99 in 120 days according to price history data provided by Honey.

With an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from over 350 reviews at Best Buy, it is quite clear that the HP Victus 15 is pretty well received by the fans, and for good reason. Thanks to a combination of a Core i5-13420H and an RTX 3050 6 GB, the Victus 15 should play the majority of games at FHD with acceptable frame rates.

In our testing of the RTX 3050 6 GB at FHD resolution with medium-quality graphics, we noted that the GPU played Cyberpunk 2077 (1.5) at 64 FPS, Returnal at 38 FPS, and Final Fantasy XV Benchmark at 70 FPS. Reconstruction techniques like DLSS and FSR should give you enough breathing room to crank the settings up to High or Ultra all while keeping decent frame rates.

On the CPU side, the Core i5-13420H should be enough to handle FHD gaming as well as everyday tasks.

Coupled with a 15-inch FHD display that boasts a 144 Hz refresh rate and the promise of up to 10.5 hours of battery life, the HP Victus 15 is a well-rounded gaming laptop that should be on many people’s radar after the latest discount.
