R7 3750H operates smoothly in Cyberpunk 2077 with minimal performance loss.
My laptop is an ASUS GA502, as mentioned in Linus's video. I've faced similar issues with many games released lately: limited GPU usage. It looks like my RAM is set to the default 2400 and the chipset can't support higher speeds. However, in Cyberpunk 2077 today, my GPU stays at 99% utilization while the CPU remains around 30-40%, whereas in PUGB, the opposite happens. In-game FPS hovers between 30-40 with high graphics settings, CPU at 40% and GPU at 98%. Notably, lowering graphics or switching to lower resolutions like 900p or 720p keeps FPS steady at 30-40 with CPU at 40% and GPU at 60-70%. It seems my GPU and CPU aren't performing well. I'm not trying to fix it, just sharing this experience. To everyone who bought a 3750h machine thinking it was for gaming—apologies for missing the screenshot, as I'm now considering a refund.
Based on the suggested specifications, the performance at 1080p high is typical. Reducing graphics settings could reveal additional limitations. Are all cores being utilized evenly?
The R7 3750H benchmark falls near the recommended specifications, closer to them than expected. My 1660ti-maxq seems ready for the task. I used MSI Afterburner during gameplay, but it only displayed overall usage—well under 50% with a frequency of 3.9GHz. The single-core clock wasn’t visible, so it probably wasn’t the issue. I adjusted all settings to their minimums, yet performance stayed similar (just a slight boost). It’s still not ideal for playability, especially in a first-person perspective game. There are discussions about the GA502 on this forum, suggesting the integrated GPU at 400MHz might be the cause.
I own the same laptop and the issue involves CPU temperatures. It restricts usage to no more than 80% at 3.5 GHz, then gradually increases to 99°C before temporarily throttling and returning to 3.5 GHz.
