What assessments or applications are available for running simulations of battery consumption and evaluating runtime?
Hi, if you're looking for ways to test how long your laptops last on battery, there are several options. You might want to try RealBench again, though it sometimes lags on your Ryzen model. For a more consistent experience, using apps like BatterySaver or Battery Monitor can help simulate and stress the battery life effectively. These tools will let you compare which laptop performs best under different conditions.
You can execute a continuous benchmark application such as gpuz,

On the initial page, a question mark appears beside the bus interface, about a quarter of the way down on the right side. Click it. It initiates a render test that measures power consumption on the GPU and continues until you press Esc to terminate it. After clicking the full-screen area, run the test.
I ran a test similar to this yesterday.
To check how long the battery lasts in actual use, I started a selection of movies and let it play.
Observe how quickly the battery drains.
Surface Go 3, i3 CPU, 128GB NVMe, 8GB RAM... around 5.5 hours.
Next time I'll repeat the test, this time with Performance set to "Best Battery life."
So excited about watching several films? Would that really mimic the combined performance of CPU, memory, and GPU? And were the movies running at the same time? If not, what method did you use to arrange them?
Confirming your request to evaluate CPU, GPU, and MEM performance simultaneously.
Regardless of the tests you perform, the memory is being utilized. It's not common for people to run benchmarking programs simultaneously to check battery performance. The idea of loading many videos at once is the most practical approach. Videos demand resources from the CPU, GPU, and RAM.
I added them to a VLC playlist.
Viewing one after another in full screen at 1080p. Alternatively, you might launch several VLC windows.
Right now, on 'best battery' it shows 32% remaining after 4 hours and 50 minutes.
Yes, it consumes the entire system.
The movie playing looks quite like real PC usage. That’s what matters most.
A few made-up benchmark tests only apply to that specific test or when comparing systems under identical conditions.
