Hello and Thanks for your response!
"Set the Graphics Device in BIOS configuration tab to Switchable Graphics."
- There is no option for this in the Bios. I don't think thats the issue though. Why should the Ryzen 2500U with integrated Vega 8 make use of switchable Graphics?
"Also, update the AMD driver here"
- This actually improved the perfomance a bit, but the issue remains the same. Each time one of the sensors suceeds the ~70°C mark, the GPU Clock slowly recedes from around 900-1000MHz down to ~300MHz. I use ingame Displaying of those stats via HWINFO64,Msi Afterburer and RIVATunerStatistics.
"After that, search online using the keyword "How to Configure AMD Radeon™ Settings to Get an Optimal Gaming Experience"
- This is also a helpful feature for more slick perfmonace, but isnt my issue here.
I know the 530S-14ARR is not a gaming laptop. But the hardware components would be able to sustain a higher clockspeed for a longer period of time without running into overheating.
It seems to work just fine for the first few minutes of running a game, the perfmonance is very good as long as the GPU clock hovers around 900-1000MHz.
I am not an expert on this topic but ive read about the same issues on the Ideapad 720s, albeit they seem to have gotten a bit better of that model after another BiosUpdate.
I think its got to be some sort of Power Management issue (TDP etc) and something like "Target Core Temp" Bios settings.
I am pretty sure a modified Bios would make this Laptop run Great (with higher but still healthy temps)
It seems the Ideapad is optimized a bit too conserative and there is no option to change it for someone who would like to push the Laptop at least a little bit closer to its limits.
Its just a bit off that the Laptop isnt capable of clocking up to 900-1000MHz again after the first drop during a Gaming/Benchmark session, even if the temps already dropped all the way down to 45-50°C.
Hope someone takes another look at this, thanks!
I super excited.
