if you wanna play microsoft flight simulator 2020 on ultra.

it sucks major nutsack.

if you want to play the binding of isaac rebirth,

it's top tier.

saying it sucks is wrong without knowing the work it will be doing, however it is an old gpu so it's not gonna perform well in newer and more demanding titles

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Why is this a poll? Also, suck for what, exactly? If you mean gaming, then yes: it's not a gaming-GPU, it's a multimedia-GPU. Geforce GT-series cards are always multimedia-GPUs, GTX-series are gaming-GPUs.

Everything is relative.

Does it suck compared to a 2080 Ti? Yes.

Does it suck when you want to play the newest games at 1080p 60fps? Yes.

 

Does it suck when you want to play certain games that do run at a reasonable fps on it (i.e. CSGO, Minecraft, etc.)? No.

Does it suck for watching YouTube? No.

cards before 1000 series used their old Mobile chips rather than MaxQ versions, so your 920m is actually like old gen card, though nvidia skipped 800 series for PC but had it in laptops. also anything below 960 was plain bad, so big yes.

Yea its really really bad when it comes to gaming. I have an i5 5250u which is power throttling and edp throttling, and a 920m with 4gb vram. I have posted on many forums asking how to fix my system, got some help here there. Now only edp throttling is left. 

 

Regarding the 920m, from my personal experience, only Rocket League seems to be working well on lower resolutions.  Cannot see the enemies too clearly. The rest is struggling. The rest of the games are:

Minecraft: 18 to 20  fps in hopper/ crowded areas, mobs skipping frames while coming close.
CSGO: frames dropping 3 4s before i reach the enemy, I think minimum is 5.

PUBG: Same as csgo.

Warframe: 18 to 20 fps. frames stuttering completely since its below 

 

Well, i have decided to quit gaming since it doesnt make any sense to continue on my pitiful system. Sorry for bothering you'll and   hope you'll have a nice day.

well I have a 940MX, it's not great but runs a lot of "AAA/AA" games reasonably at low settings... MHW, RE2, Tomb Raider (2013) all around 30fps or above... not sure how much worse 920m is though.

Trust me, if you had this gpu, you would simply quit life. It is not for gaming. Its basically like an appendix. Regardless of what other people have said, its not fit for ALL games. Its just not meant for gaming. Sure eye opener for me.

What do you mean by No? Yeah, single digits are really reasonable. One shot kills are also reasonable. Now i am wondering whether i have been riding the train of denial or you?
Can it even maintain the so called reasonable fps it gets while playing these games? No
Can it prevent single digit frame drops at important crucial moments? No.
can you beat a noob in a 1v1 situation 100 percent of the time using this card? No.
Do you need to ride the luck train for  every game regardless of skill? Yes OFC
Can it even render distant objects in any shape or form? Absolutely No Wayyyyyy

 


So Long story short, this card deserves to go to grandmas who only focus on building houses in minecraft, and not for the survival related scenarios unless you wanna be whooped by the single digit frame drops rather than the mobs ingame.

And yeah i would like to strike off Rocket league from the list too coz its certainly able to keep its frames(absolutely shocking) but there is just no way of understanding in which direction the ball will go coz of how crap the rendering/detailing is of distant objects.

So Yea is this GPU fit for rendering Youtube. Yeah 100 percent.

I'm still not convinced this gpu is really *that* bad - I'm sure a lot of people would say the same about my 940MX... and it *is* bad, just not bad enough to not being able to play games - guess monitor is also important, for some reason framerates around 30fps don't bother me too much on it... plus you definitely can forget anything above 'low' in most games... but the thing is modern games look actually pretty good even on low settings... definitely prefer this laptop over ps3/ps4 (which were god awful regarding framerates, input lag and motion blur everywhere...) 

 

 

On the other hand if this 920 is really worse it might not even get 30fps anywhere in which case I can understand the frustration (although sub HD would probably fix that)

this may sound weird to you but that is indeed a sign of 'wrong' settings and or overheating... 

 

for example I can't play any (3d) games on my laptop without my 4 fan laptop cooler for longer than 5 minutes before everything starts to lag simply because the cpu and the gpu throttle hard due to high temps (something around 80C) 

 

But with the laptop cooler this suddenly is no problem.

That one person accused me if being in denial, when clearly I listed games that are playable on the 920M, provided the machine has a decent CPU (i5 and up).

CS:GO and Minecraft are CPU bound games, so the GPU will do basically nothing, but if that person has a shit CPU, it will still run like shit regardless of the GPU.

 

That is why I asked for the CPU they have.

well, what I meant besides everything that's possible on low or off, I also meant resolution of course, I used to play MHW at something like 480p for example, until they patched it, now it runs at 720p *above* 30fps, the point is you can run pretty much anything if you lower resolution enough, and my cpu also throttles to around 3 ghz while gaming, but it's fine im not really cpu bound in the games im playing.

Looking at YouTube benchmarks, I see people somewhat consistently get 30-45fps. Of course with some dips into the 20's, but also spikes towards 60-80fps.

Not very stable, but playable.

That is probably at the lowest settings at 720p/1080p, but that should be expected.

 

Be sure you're plugged into the wall while gaming, because that way you get the full speeds out of your CPU/GPU.

Most of the tweaks were guided by unclewebb from the techpowerup forums. Yeah, i have to use throttlestop daily to prevent the power throttling. The only tweak which i did was setting the pl3 to 31:0 for cpu: gpu respectively so as to prevent the clockspeed from dropping everytime edp starts interfering. Long story short, edp or power used to drop my clockspeed to 1.6 but now it will never drop below 2.4ghz. Its like overclocking but not overclocking.

 

Regarding the resolution part, Yeah i set it from time to time, provided i can understand what's going on ingame. Half the time i can identify stuff but rest of the time its soo pixelated that i need to increase the rendering details so that i can identify stuff faster and if it doesnt end up working, then i increase the reso to a point where i can identify stuff and the loop goes on and on. But yeah i agree. its better to have stable fps at lower reso than stuttering fps at higher reso(but my eyes rip). 

Btw how do you reduce the resolution in games which only have a minimum resolution of 720p in the ingame settings?

Yeah, i have to. There is no option for me, coz undervolting doesnt work while the battery is attached.
And regarding the benchmarks, fps is literally all over the place for this card on yt. I mean if i had to say casually what is my minecraft fps, i would directly say i get max fps of 100. But then the joke is that i also get a minimum fps of 13. And the consistent fps is usually jumping around the range of 18 to 45 with frequent hiccups all the way. I will continue to do tweaks to see if i can come to some kind of middle ground, surely i am doing something wrong, but if everything is out of my hands, then there is nothing left which i can do from my side.

Ah OK, I see... I think mine is similar, maybe 2.6 or so - but it never seems to make issues - unless throttling due to heat, as said im really mostly gpu bound and that's thankfully an easy issue to solve to me (just lower settings)

yeah, definitely, and it's true, while graphics may look actually still 'good' overall what can become an issue is text, it doesn't scale well and usually isn't meant to be displayed at sub HD resolutions...

good question, did not happen to me yet - I can imagine maybe tweak the ini, or some general settings files, there often is a minimal resolution, which you probably can just overwrite, but I haven't done that so idk for sure.

Well obviously I can understand that's an issue, and I don't have a 'solution' but that still sounds like something is off with the settings, of the laptop, the games, or both. in my experience this basically only happens when there's a huge bottleneck, because usually the fps shouldn't deviate so much (generally like 15+/- fps maximum in my experience) 

 

I mean I know my card isn't actually much stronger than the Intel igpu, funny enough, but the little bit it has over it are just enough to be able to play almost all games, as I think 'acceptably'. 

 

Now if your card is even weaker, I admit it's possibly really difficult to find the right settings, you can lower resolution just so much. 

 

However another additional approach of course would be to make sure cooling is adequate and overclocking the gpu couldn't hurt either (I basically never play on that laptop without a basic overclock, even if it's just 3-5 fps more, it's often just enough to get me over 30 lol)

yeah, definitely, and it's true, while graphics may look actually still 'good' overall what can become an issue is text, it doesn't scale well and usually isn't meant to be displayed at sub HD resolutions... 

The joke is that i am cool with that, i just don't want any dancing jagged edges. Distraction 10 000.
And i forgot to mention that my gpu is already overclocked RIP. Basically the temps are soo low that i have no idea what to say ie whether its overclocked in the first place or not.
And the improvement is pretty much negligible at this point. 

And yeah OGL applications doesnt seem to be affected in any kind of way by the change in resolution. I do not understand why. Even RL at max settings would have like 20 25 fps increase when the resolution decreases. But Minecraft just continued frame dropping even at 300x200. I was like FML. 

I beyond agree with your statement, i wouldnt even know where to start ie fixing t he problem. This system is like a Circus. Complete and Utter Chaos.
