Btw I have disabled CPU boost on my gaming laptop since it kept running into the thermal cap with FH4 throttling down the GPU. Without CPU boost (max power state set to 99) I got better frame rates in FH4. However other CPU bound games work better with boost on and don't run into thermal load problems. It would be useful if my laptop had smart shift and adjusted max frequencies based on a power budget.

I have a Ryzen 2700u notebook which I actually use to do some light gaming on while I was training interstate... Well. Used to. Don't use it anymore thanks to the Switch... Probably should.

Throttling the CPU so that the GPU can "boost" is not an alien concept for me... The TDP of the APU is 15w which never changes, so if I reduce the CPU's portion of the TDP by limiting clockrates to 60%, then it can increase the TDP of the GPU portion. - It actually allows for overwatch to hit 720P@60fps. Otherwise the resolution takes a bit of a hit.
It's actually something Sony is taking home with the Smartshift aspect which takes it a step further.

I don't know what I am reading in this thread from other users... But I honestly can't be bothered.
