Quote from: gaming perf on battery on Yesterday at 20:39:02Because it's true. But what's also true is that if you unplug an 8060s laptop and attempt to game, your 1% lows will be even worse than on the arc b390.
So the arc b390 is the best we have for now. Yes, it isn't strong enough, wish it was a bit stronger but it is what it is.
Maybe fine wine driver updates can improve things with Microsoft's DirectX update that deliveries 90% performance boost on arc battlemage using SER can help.
I hope JJ tests more games on battery and not just Forza.
Fundamentally, wattage (influenced by thermals) is the limiting factor. As to whether or not a particular GPU is "strong enough", it's always been about managing the workload. For gaming, that means dialing down the settings.
