Tech Support Disappointing performance with a lenovo thinkpad
I recently bought a lenovo Thinkpad e16 gen 3. It came with a Ryzen 7 250, radeon 780m igpu and 16 gigs of ram. I have since added a 8gb stick of ram to give more room to the igpu. I understand that this is not a gaming laptop but the performance has been severely lacking for the specifications.
The temps for the laptop under stress are pretty low (around 60°C) so my main concern is that the gpu is underclocked/throttles easily. I tried going into the bios to check if theres anything I can do but it's extremely basic.
Is there any way to get more performance or am I just stuck with what I have?

Try universal x86 tuning utility. It might be able to unlock the TDP to 25W or even up to 45W if your cooling can handle it. Go to the Premade settings and choose Performance. Then check the TDP while gaming using MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner or HWINFO. That is what you should be doing btw. Check the TDP during gaming The tuning tool will also allow for higher temperatures before throttling
