[h2]SystemInfo 5.47[/h2]
This update adds a workaround for an issue affecting a limited number of ASUS G14 (2022) laptops with a specific display panel, which causes the maximum screen brightness of the panel to be limited to 250 nits after running 3D applications that make a specific Windows API call. ASUS has already rectified this issue on newer laptop batches and is rolling out a fix within the next 2 weeks for affected G14 (2022) laptops already in the market.

If you have a device affected by this issue, you should contact ASUS support to help you reset your display panel firmware. https://www.asus.com/support/

Introducing the Build & Benchmark bundle

We've teamed up with The Irregular Corporation to create the ultimate Steam bundle for PC enthusiasts! The Build & Benchmark bundle includes the runaway hit game, PC Building Simulator, and the full version of 3DMark, the gamer's benchmark.

3DMark is for gamers, overclockers, and system builders who want to get more out of their hardware. With its wide range of benchmark tests, 3DMark has everything you need to test your PC's performance.

3DMark tests GPU and CPU performance by rendering extremely demanding game-like scenes in real time. The faster the benchmark runs, the better your 3DMark score.



3DMark shows you how your score compares with results from other systems with the same hardware. And if you're wondering what your 3DMark score means for real-world game performance, 3DMark shows you the frame rates you can expect in a selection of popular games too.

We update 3DMark regularly so that you can benchmark the latest PC gaming hardware. When you buy 3DMark today, you benefit from over nine years of continuous development, updates, and enhancements.

In the smash-hit game PC Building Simulator, you build and grow your very own computer repair enterprise as you learn to diagnose, fix, and build PCs. With real-world licensed components and comprehensive hardware and software simulation, you can plan and bring your ultimate PC to life.

Career mode puts you in charge of your very own PC building and repair business. Customers will provide you with a range of jobs from simple upgrades and repairs to full system builds, which you must complete while balancing your books to ensure you are still making a profit!



PC Building Simulator lets you experiment with a wide selection of accurately modeled, fully licensed parts from real-world manufacturers. Express your flair by coordinating LED lighting and cabling colors to make your builds stand out. Choose from a range of cooling solutions including fully customizable water-cooling loops. If money were no object, what would you build?

Once your rig is ready to go, turn it on and see how it benchmarks with a fully accurate simulation of 3DMark! Not happy with the results? Jump into the bios and try your hand at overclocking.

[h2]Buy the bundle today and save 20%[/h2]

When you buy the Build & Benchmark bundle on Steam, you save 20% compared with the total price of buying 3DMark and PC Building Simulator separately.

The Build & Benchmark Bundle is a "complete the set" bundle. This means you only pay for titles you don't already own. For example, if you already own 3DMark, you will only have to pay for PC Building Simulator and you will still get the 20% bundle discount.
