Intel Arc A350M GPU Gets Performance Boost with Dynamic Tuning Technology Disabled
Last month, Intel released its Arc Alchemist lineup for mobile/laptop configurations. As expected, being the first discrete GPU that the company made, there are some hiccups here and there that happen along the way. Today, we have an interesting case of Intel Arc A350M getting a heavy performance boost with Dynamic Tuning Technology (DTT) disabled. The DTT is Intel's solution to automatically and dynamically allocate power between an Intel processor and an Intel Discrete Graphics Card to optimize performance and improve battery life. This is essentially a competing tech for AMD SmartShift and NVIDIA Dynamic Boost implementations. Thanks to a South Korean YouTuber, BullsLab, we have information that disabling DTT in drivers helps Arc 350M GPU reach higher performance targets.
He found when disabling DTT in drivers that the gaming performance improved significantly and that the Arc 350M was outputting 30-80 more frames per second. This is no slight improvement and shows that the drivers are still not yet mature. Creating a discrete graphics card is not an easy task, as noted here; however, we hope to see Intel put out more fixes in the coming weeks and hopefully end this strange behavior.

If this is 1080p ultra PUBG then I am Batman
Great for performance, terrible for heat, noise, and battery life - which (with a shared cooler) could also limit the CPU performance.
With that being said, I dont game on battery power either.
Its well possible much of this performance will only be spotted on discrete desktop versions.
Lets be real here. Almost every laptop you can buy except top-end gaming beasts in a chunky box throttle like a mofo. If the DTT feature is this bad, those lappys will suck royally. Its not even about averages in FPS.. but those dips man. Wow. It speaks to us saying 'consistency at any perf level is poo'.
See 3:53 here.
And Sagem/Sager or Eurocom make desktop replacement laptops which happen to have enough cooling.
They slap a 65W CPU with a 65W GPU and then use a 90W brick with 75W cooling capacity and call it a premium product.As someone who played a lot of PUBG, that looks like the mobile version aka PUBG Lite
