A recent laptop benchmark test has revealed that AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, combined with an integrated Radeon 890M GPU (iGPU), can deliver a smooth gaming experience in Dying Light 2: Stay Human at 1080p medium settings with FSR2 enabled.
The benchmark, reported by @TechEpiphanyYT via X, on a system equipped with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Radeon 890M, showed that the game could maintain around an average of 45 FPS, dropping between 35-40 in spots. This is respectable performance, especially considering the demanding nature of Dying Light 2.
Ryzen AI laptop benchmark results
One of the standout features of the benchmark was the low CPU utilization. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 was only operating at 13% capacity, indicating that it had plenty of headroom to handle the game’s processing demands. This suggests that the game is more GPU-intensive than CPU-intensive, which is a common sight in modern gaming.
The Radeon 890M, on the other hand, was working hard during the benchmark. It was running at 99% capacity and drawing 60W. This is to be expected, as the GPU is responsible for rendering the entirety of the game’s graphics.
According to AMD APU Gaming’s YouTube video, from which the benchmarks are sourced, the laptop in question is the ASUS Vivobook S16 M5606WA, fitted with 32GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM. For reference, the 890M iGPU is also used in the following models:
- Vivobook S15
- ASUS Zenbook S 16
- ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 OLED
- ASUS TUF Gaming A16
- ASUS ProArt PX13
- ASUS ProArt P16
- HP OmniBook Ultra
Good enough for laptop gaming?
While the benchmark results are promising, we doubt it will have gamers rushing for a laptop fitted with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 based on the test. The Radeon 890M integrated GPU, while capable, understandably falls being those you’ll find in the best gaming laptops. Many gamers are accustomed to higher-end GPUs that can deliver better visuals and higher frame rates.
Overall, the benchmark results demonstrate that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is a capable processor for a game of this nature. It can clearly deliver solid performance for Dying Light 2. However, for those seeking even higher framerates or the ability to play at higher resolutions, a more powerful GPU may be necessary.
