Hi all.
As per title. I haven't owned any AMD hardware since ages, so would appreciate feedback from folks with experience.
The plan is to get an 4500U Lenovo Ideapad (Vega 6 integrated graphics).
Would MSI Afterburner and Asus GPU Tweak work on this GPU? Or is there some Radeon software that could be used for overclocking? It seams that this laptop has good power and thermal headroom.
Yes, I am aware that overclocking integrated graphics is a futile exercise, and that 10% up on 50FPS is a joke, but I do like to fiddle.
Also, is there a setting on AMD graphics that is equivalent to Nvidia's FastSync?

Welcome to NBR

not sure if you can with mobile vega but google is your friendLast edited: Jul 5, 2020 -
Uhh thanks for googling that for me
.. Looks promising, I'll give it a try.
Any other suggestions also welcome. -
alot of people here don't own amd so it's hard to know whats possible when you don't have the hardware as many here find workarounds.....maybe @Vasudev will know

I'd suggest you to do clean install of W10 without bloatware and only have Lenovo vantage installed to control your ideapad/thinkpad PC, other lenovo utilities can be skipped.
For Nvidia FastSync, I think the control is present in Radeon Chill, you need to look into it and its been a long time since I tweaked for max performance.JRE84 likes this. -
If anyone else will be curious:
- "Ryzen Master" software reports that it doesn't support this CPU, do not bother with it
- "Radeon Software" installs fine, but once installed has a tab "Tuning" missing. That's the area where normally voltage/clocks are set. Messed up some settings and got micro stutters. Uninstalled. Otherwise the laptop comes with "lite" version of that software. Does everything just fine out of the box.
Will try few more things before doing a proper clean install.
The laptop surprisingly has no bloatware other than antivirus. I am overall very pleased with this laptop, feels more premium then it's price point. Only two minuses are the keyboard layout (some things are squeezed in order to accommodate the num pad), and screen colors (which are ok, but when I have it near desktop monitor, I notice that they are washed out in comparison). Brightness is plenty. -
Can I overclock integrated Vega graphics?
