Gaming tests – integrated graphics
Gaming laptops in a thin body often suffer from two flaws – overheating and short battery life. What to do if you want high processor performance, but in a thin body, with good battery and at the same time not lose graphics performance when you are at home or at work? A gaming notebook with dedicated graphics card will always be heavier than an ultrabook and will not offer such battery life. On the other hand, ultrabooks lack CPU performance. The Legion Y740S resolves this dilemma.
Gaming tests – integrated graphics
Let’s start with CS:GO, which is one of the most popular games ever. Here you can see that the eGPU brings an 11-fold increase in performance. Without the GTA V is one of the most popular games on the market and offers complex and challenging graphics. Here, the difference between eGPU and iGPU has been reduced “only” to 6–7 times, and the performance of iGPU is one of the best in the range of UHD graphics. Without the external graphics card, however, a 27 fps game is more or less unplayable, unlike the Iris Plus graphics in the Ice Lake models.external graphics card, the Y740S is among the other Sky Lake to Comet Lake models.

We see a very similar result as in GTA in Dirt Rally.
