Can anyone comment on the FW13 AMD gaming performance (and thermal throttling) (alien.top)

Just wondering how it manages thermals. I know this gen AMD is really great for graphics, but I know thermals also plays a big role.

Right now im on a X1 carbon with 1165g7, and it supposed has pretty good graphics for intel. But even if im getting 100fps ill get dips down to 2fps at times because it starts to throttle.

So while the CPU and igpu are good enough for me on paper, the performance really isnt.

I dont game a ton on it, but its nice to have for the random esports title every so often (so i wish it was better).

So how is FW? And is there a big difference between the 7640U and 7840U?

Thanks.

I've mostly only played Rainbow 6 Siege on my 7840U so far, but performance in that title is excellent. I'm able to get around 100 fps at 1080p medium settings and 100% render scale. I haven't had any problems with thermals either -- temps stay in the 70s under sustained load.

Note that I'm playing on an external 1080p 75 Hz monitor, so I haven't run into any sort of ghosting issues that some other people are talking about.
