It covers several generations and even pairs with older GPUs. Before diving into the details, let’s quickly review some of its simpler specs.

Display and Webcam

The HP Victus 15 features a 15.6-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a peak brightness of 300 nits. Depending on the specific model, users can expect either a 1080p or 720p webcam, though neither offers a privacy shutter. You’ll need to inspect the listing to determine if it comes with Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E, as the laptop supports both options.

CPU and GPU Options

Beginning with AMD, the HP Victus 15 can be set up with Krackan Point (Ryzen AI 7 350 and lower), Hawk Point refresh (Ryzen 7 260 and lower), and Hawk Point (Ryzen 9 8845HS, Ryzen 7 8845HS, and below). On the Intel front, choices include the Raptor Lake refresh (Core 7 240H and below), 14th-gen Raptor Lake (Core i7-14650HX and lower), Raptor Lake HX (Core i7-13650HX), and Raptor Lake H (Core i7-13620H and below).

GPU and Memory Options

If the number of CPUs feels overwhelming, the GPU options are equally extensive. They feature the Radeon iGPU found in AMD models, the Intel iGPU for the others, a mysterious RTX 50 series SKU, and the RTX 4060, RTX 4050, RTX 3050 A, RTX 3050, and RTX 2050. Essentially, the HP Victus 15 accommodates nearly every part available from recent generations.

Due to the extensive CPU selections, RAM options range from 16 GB DDR4-3200 to 24 GB DDR5-5600. Fortunately, SSD options span from 1 TB to 512 GB. In terms of I/O, the laptop includes one USB-C 5Gbps/Power Delivery port, two USB-A 5 Gbps ports, one RJ-45 Ethernet jack, one HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5 mm combo audio jack.
