The AMD Lenovo Flex 14 (2019) shows poor performance when playing CSGO at the weakest settings.
Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Lenovo Flex 14 (2019) equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor from Amazon. (Product page: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Convertibl...ics&sr=1-1) I installed CS:GO and anticipated achieving at least 80fps, based on videos showing similar performance. However, I’m seeing only 50-60 fps at the lowest settings when using 1080p resolution. After checking online, I found many discussions about using dual-channel memory as a potential solution. Here are the details from CPU-Z: The laptop has 4GB soldered RAM and an additional 8GB in SODIMM, totaling 12GB. The onboard RAM is rated at 2666MHz CL17, but the BIOS caps it at 2400MHz. I wondered if dual-channel operation was possible with matching capacity, speed, and channel count. After testing with CPU-Z, it confirmed dual-channel mode was active. Yet, CS:GO still lags at 50-60fps on low settings. Do you have any suggestions or adjustments that could help? Also, I’m considering whether having identical RAM modules is essential for true dual-channel performance. What do you think?
Reduce the graphics settings. Your computer’s power usage is at 15W, likely impacting how well the GPU works.
After playing CSGO for roughly 15 minutes, temperatures tend to be in the low to mid-60s.
So with a 15W TDP, 50-60fps should be expected performance-wise, right? If so, would it be be possible (or even advisable lol) to unlock the TDP? Knowing this mobile processer has a cTDP of 35W, according to the offical AMD website. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, not really much into laptop performance and have no idea how mobile chips work.
You're using an iGPU with Vega graphics, and the monitoring tools treat it like a CPU since they're built into the same chip. According to the benchmark page, reducing resolution provides a much larger increase in FPS compared to lowering graphics settings.
