Just this weekend, I received an MSI GF65 Thin 9SD-1028 from newegg.
Nvidia GTX 1660Ti Mobile (6GB GDDR6) - 5007 Furmarkġ5.6' FHD 144Hz IPS-Level (someone tell me what 'level' means here) Shortly after letting Windows Update do its thing, before updating to windows 1909, I installed Valorant and ran it as I wanted to quickly test the device. (First gaming laptop, upgrading from a crappy HP i5 7200u + amd radeon 520 i had for 3.5 years)īased on 1660Ti mobile benchmarks, i expected around 150-180fps in Valorant at high settings. For most mobile CPUs, a maximum core offset request approximately -100 mV beyond the cache request seems to be where temperature or performance improvements in R20 stop. The older 6 core CPUs were usually good for -125 mV but not the 10th Gen.
MSI Afterburner's overlay showed that both cpu and gpu were under 80C at all times, and the i7 was running at its base frequency of 2590 mHz while in game.įrames never crossed 140, and were never stable, not even when limited to 90. For cache offset voltage, most 10th Gen CPUs like the 10750H seem to be stable somewhere around -75 mV.
Oddly enough, the moment I'd leave the game it'd boost up to 3.7GHz or so, still staying under 90 (the cpu throttles past 95 mostly) CPUID Hardware Monitor showed a peak cpu power draw of 60w, (it has reached 72w in Cinebench r20) and GPU-z showed max GPU draw of 43w, while Furmark has made it draw more power.
