It's funny, the issue with my Intel machine is that the GPU is extremely under-powered. So if you draw too much stuff it drops to 10fps. However, in my new laptop I have the inverse problem. It's impossible to get the GPU to stay in a high power state if you're not drawing enough stuff. And it's terrible at managing its power level. So I can't get stable 120Hz in the easy case where the Intel GPU did just fine. :) AMD power management, what a wild ride.
On the more positive side, the CPU absolutely slaps in this machine. My debug build time is about 2s on here, which roughly matches the 5950x in my big machine.
Maybe the play here is to roleplay steam deck and add button to manually control GPU clocks. :') Or perhaps you can even just set the min clock a bit higher so it doesn't get bogged in these little gpu frequency dips while in the middle of a game.
