Video Summary:

So the product comes in a very minimalist packaging. Installation is also very easy thanks to HP Victus back panel fitting as it is just held by 8 Philips head screws. After removing the screws, one will have to use a pry tool to open the back as there are small notches that are holding the back panel apart from screws. I am showing as much information like Driver & Program Versions along with the benchmarks. Brief on that here for those who prefer to read (Below information is already present in video in full detail) -
OMEN Gaming Hub Settings - Performance Mode
NVIDIA Driver Version - 516.94
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 TDP - 75 Watts
CPU-Z Version - 2.01.0
CPU-Z clearly shows RAM working in Dual Channel Mode
AIDA64 Extreme Version - 6.70.6000
AIDA64 also confirms RAM working in Dual Channel Mode
Games Tested - GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto V), Forza Horizon 5 & Far Cry 6
Conclusion is - More ram will not necessarily increase FPS
in games but it will definitely eliminate
the stutters while playing latest AAA titles.
Apart from gaming, it will improve multitasking
performance (running multiple programs or
browsing tabs at once) & responsiveness in
memory intensive programs like photoshop.
Hope this video will help you make an informative decision.
