So far Victus seems like best I can get in my budget. As for heating issue, If I play games while AC on in room then no issue I think. I hope no need of AC while normal usage and coding work on victus. My main concern with victus is its screen quality, I have seen video review in amazon where screen is shaking under max speed ceiling fan.

my local trusted vendor gave one offer:

HP Pavilion Gaming 15-EC2076AX at 88.5k INR (all reviews in flipkart and amazon looks good, no build quality issue or heating issue reported yet)

He will share more tomorrow as I asked for 6gb GPU variants. But rtx 3050 also looks good in above laptop.

Pavilion Gaming is inferior to Victus IMO. Pavilion Gaming was fine for 50W GPUs like 1650, so maybe they are not using an 80W 3050 as well, not sure. Victus is using the full 80W for 3050/3050Ti apparently & 80-100W for RTX 3060. So, I'll still recommend 3050Ti Victus over Pavilion Gaming. Using a good cooling pad or raising back of laptop by like 2-3cm will help with airflow for better cooling, both methods improve thermals noticeably for my m15.

What can stop this Pavilion model (HP Pavilion Gaming 15-EC2076AX ) from using 80W 3050 at full capacity ? This model is not using weak CPU that can bottleneck 3050 GPU so what else is there ?

Victus seems best option atm in my budget but if I target 3060 or 1660ti 6 gb GPU, how much increase in my budget is required and is it really worth it considering I will not play games in ultra settings anyway ?

Likely the heatsink can't cool down 80W dGPUs at full load along with CPU. So HP will likely keep it at 50 or 60W, IDK.

Asus TUF A15 was infamous for being too hot with 80W 1660Ti or 2060 but was fine with 50W 1650/1650Ti.

HP Omen with R5 + 1660Ti is under 85k but has a 60Hz 70% sRGB panel, if you can get external monitor, then no issues.

Is there any way to confirm this ? This laptop is very close to Victus and also available with discount so that deal looks very tempting. :)

If you are talking about TGP then I found below values based on reviews at online stores:
Victus 3050ti = 75W (so my guess is even victus can't use this GPU at full power, and no idea how much this 5w really worth)
Omen 1660ti = 80w
HP Pavilion 3050 = 60W

Anyway, I will stick with Victus. For me Ryzen 7 of victus is more useful compared to 2 GB extra in GPU of Omen.
