Just wondering how it manages thermals. I know this gen AMD is really great for graphics, but I know thermals also plays a big role.

Right now im on a X1 carbon with 1165g7, and it supposed has pretty good graphics for intel. But even if im getting 100fps ill get dips down to 2fps at times because it starts to throttle.

So while the CPU and igpu are good enough for me on paper, the performance really isnt.

I dont game a ton on it, but its nice to have for the random esports title every so often (so i wish it was better).

So how is FW? And is there a big difference between the 7640U and 7840U?

Thanks.

      Light gaming is… fine. I think if you’re playing an fps (or anything with lots of motion) it’s noticeably bad.

      Those panels you linked are all 60hz I believe, but they may? have less ghosting but IMO may not be worth the effort unless they have 120hz or are oled

      I think the hardest part of finding a panel is to find one in the uncommon 3:2 aspect ratio the framework uses

      I remember some people were looking at alternative panels but they’re usually for replacement and not upgrade, and I don’t recall a high refresh alternative being used successfully (yet)

        oops, yea on second look they all are 60hz, except for a few which dont list it (so im assuming 60hz).

        Maybe Ill eventually just get a FW16 instead.
