I recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580, and I'm trying to figure out the difference between the different power modes: Power Saver, Balanced, High Performance, and Lenovo Dynamic Graphics.
The first three are self-explanatory--the various options such as maximum CPU/idling parameters are unique and different, but as far as I can tell the Lenovo Dynamic Graphics is exactly the same as High Performance. Does anyone know the difference between High Performance vs Lenovo Dynamic Graphics?
Only one other person asked this question, which went unanswered Lenovo Forums.
I was curious just like the original poster, so I ran benchmarks on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 when I first got it back in November. My conclusion is that the GPU generates frame rates between 10 and 11% higher on Lenovo Dynamic than on High Performance. Additionally, and this is a useless data point, the system decrypts data encrypted with RC5-72 13% faster on Lenovo Dynamic than on High Performance.
TEST A: High Performance A benchmark app was run with the power management set to "High Performance". The benchmark was run after a cold boot. The system was literally at room temperature when the boot started.
Here are the results:
Here were the temps in F at the end of the test: // CPU Pkg - 194.0 // GPU 149.0 // HDD 113.0 //
Test B: Lenovo Dynamic Graphics
Here were the temps in F at the end of the test: // CPU Pkg 197.6 // GPU 161.6 // HDD 114.8 //
Appendix A: RC5-72 Results On the High Performance setting, the system's GPU solves 111,330,057 keys per second using the distributed.net client. On the Lenovo Dynamic Graphics setting, the GPU solves 126,623,174 keys per second using the distributed.net client.
