Yeah, after 1-2 hours of gaming now I can confirm it works well. Temps are around 85-89 mostly so far and MHz usually at 2700 with occasional drops to 2300-2400. Works well enough for me for now. Thanks 💯

Kinda small non-update, I did some stress testing and it appears the most stable-ish way for me will be to use QuickCPU to: Turn OFF Bi-Directional PROCHOT (throttle notification, basically) Set the CPU speed to max 2600 or 2700 Mhz via SpeedShift tab Disable turbo boost (I think this is done...

I don’t think it qualifies as an AAA title, less than 100 dev team afaik. It’s a hardcore FPS mixed with RPG progression elements. Slower gameplay with high tension. Pretty fun. So for XTU limits, I should be setting them low wattage, or high?

Just to clarify I meant game session, as in rounds within the game. I play only one game (Escape from tarkov) which by all accounts is CPU heavy. Anyway I’ll try the XTU limits tonight.

So I’m well aware of the limitations of laptops and why it throttles. The problems is that in game session A it might throttle and then in B it works fine without any changes. So I know the machine is capable of running it nicely. I play in AC room, not above 24*. I might try a cooling pad but...

I’m currently using “ultimate Performance”. and as for the limitations, you mean to set it longer or even unlimited? As I understand you’re talking about the short/long turbo durations? And as I understand for gaming the turbo is kind of what I am trying to turn off rather than extend, what’s...

Here's how it looks in the game, by the way. To put a face to the charts. I will try to video also when it works smoothly around the same Mhz/temps if I can.

I'm on a macbook pro 2016 15" running Windows 10 through bootcamp with an eGPU 5700 XT. CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2701 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s). So the problem I have is throttling but it does not appear as simple as "play game = throttle". I am able to run...
