Asus Zenbook ux430un

Hi all!

I seem to be having a problem with my new Zenbook - the idea of a portable ultrabook with a reasonable GPU seemed great and I was aware of the slight throttling of the model but in my case the thing just seems completely off...

For example R6 Siege at 720p everything lowest it just jumps like crazy between 60 and 10 and everything in between it's a complete mess the same happens in Rocket League I mean the gpu is no 1080ti but it's supposed to be playable for those games...

I've updated the drivers and the bios but it doesn't help the nvidia control panel is set for maximum performance... is it normal and it's just a ****ty laptop?

Edit: forgot to mention the specs: i7 8550u, 16gb ram, mx150

Thanks for help!

Considering you set the MX150 to handle the games, not much you can do, not an ultrabook for gaming, it has thermal limit of 73 C. Nevertheless, from my personal experience with the i5 version, Dota 2 works flawlessly at 1368 x 768, medium.

 

Might be limitations with the cooling or design unfortunately. Have you attempted a cooling pad or improved thermal compound?

Great information! Thanks

 

Any updates ? I was interested to see what the resolution was.
