How do i use more of my gpu? 4060M

[abstract finch]

cyberpunk 2077 also

its rated 110 watts but uses 80-90

[radiant nebula]

that is normal for Max-Q GPU

[abstract finch]

oh alr

[radiant nebula]

that extra ‘dynamic boost’ wattage is rarely reached

[abstract finch]

any way to reach it?

[radiant nebula]

supposedly it kicks in when your CPU isn’t having to do like anything so it can send the GPU more power

[abstract finch]

i believe my laptop has a strong enough charger

its a 230 watt one

[radiant nebula]

230W is good enough for my acer predator with ultra 9 and 4070M

[abstract finch]

huh

maybe ur gpu wattage is low

[radiant nebula]

so should be fine for your laptop

[radiant nebula]

pulls up to 125W

[abstract finch]

rated or actually does it?

[radiant nebula]

usually caps out around 100W in real world conditions

but it does use that extra power in benchmarks

[abstract finch]

nice

oh shit mine does too

cyberpunk benchmark makes it go over 100 watts

[radiant nebula]

80-100W is ideal wattage for 4050-4070 laptop gpu anyway as you don’t see much of any benefit past that

[abstract finch]

ye thanks tho

[radiant nebula]

i flashed my gpu to 140W and tested it and it performed about the same if not worse and just pulled slightly more power lol (like ~4 more watts in benchmarks.. no real difference in real world gaming)
