On a 1660 Ti (MaxQ, I presume)? I can believe it. It's the exact range of game that card is made for. At a glance I don't see Skyrim AE benchmarks, but notebookcheck has it running Monster Hunter World, MGS V and Rise of the Tomb Raider maxed out at 1080p60ish.
Maybe I'm spoiled by just assuming Windows and Linux benchmarks are comparable by default? I guess it's no longer a surprise now, so... congrats, everybody?
Also, man, is there something you can do about those CPU temps? It makes me nervous just to look at that 28% utilization at 90C. I've been away from gaming laptops since handhelds are a thing and I'm not used to that anymore.
It's probably all single threaded. Overall CPU usage isn't very useful in the day and age of 8-24 core CPUs. Especially hybrid architectures like Intel has.
Sure, and with the GPU sucking up a bunch of juice that's plenty to get toasty.
It's just I haven't been using laptops that do that in the past few years and coming from desktop world it feels so wrong now.
