First of all  the performance is great for any game you want to play, however, not all games can run at 60 fps on the highest graphics. For example, Doom Eternal can run perfectly and stay at 60 fps on medium graphics.  That's actually saying a lot considering doom is a very demanding game.  Anything higher than medium will go past the 4gb vram limit. Now the big problem is the throttling. Yes this laptop's CPU can hit 4.1 GHz, that doesn't mean it can control the heat emitting from such power. I mean seriously, even at start up it would hit the 80* C range, the highest and scariest temp it has gotten to was 90* C!!!  At that temp the computer is basically killing itself. The fans do some good work but without a cooling pad it just cant get the airflow it needs. Even with the cooling pad its still in the 80* C range. So, This is what i did to fix it from throttling and keep it running cool and efficient (cooler temps mean better performance) I downloaded a application known as Throttle Stop, it is well known and trusted, HOWEVER it is VERY dangerous if you don't know what you doing. All i did was simply turn the GHz  multiplier down to 33 (this means the CPU runs at 3.30 GHz)  and then adjusted the Mv (millivolts) to -168Mv this is the magic number for me, now the CPU runs no hotter than 70* C, when playing arma 3 anyway. I have tried other demanding games and it seems to still throttle unfortunately, the next best thing is to limit the max power going to the CPU, to 99% this is done in the power management settings on windows. This is much safer, however, it makes the CPU run at 2.40 MHz (the base MHz) this will run cool! But it bottlenecks so much and just takes away the capability this computer has. So Final conclusion... This thing is literally to hot to handle, If the airflow and thermal paste were better it would run fine at 4.1 MHz but its just not. If your a tech person you could always reapply some better thermal paste but no telling if that would work better or not. Honestly tho, for this price, its OK. Just keep in mind that if you do get it, do not run it at 4.1 MHz. AND DO NOT TRY AND OVERCLOCK ANYTHING YOU WILL KILL IT AS IT IS ALREADY DYING OUT OF THE BOX.
