Hi guys, apologies for the images on the side not sure what happened. I have recently bought the HP envy 13 , it has the mx450 GPU. The default clocks and boost are in the image attached (Boost is 930Mhz), I read that there are different wattage varients of this GPU as listed below. Looking at GPU specs , I think this is 12w version , when playing games the clocks go up to 1500Mhz , there are two readings for wattage usage 16.68w & 12w (attached pic) , so does that mean I have the 25w version , I'm confused.
N18S-G5-B: GBD-128 Package, 1395 - 1575 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 28.5 W
N18S-G5: GB2E-64 Package, 1395 - 1575 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 25 W
N18S-LP: GB2E-64 Package, 720 - 930 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 12 W

hi there,
This card is still quite new, and it's hard to find a lot of info about it. I'm considering buying this laptop as well and I'm struggling to find out which variant of GPU does it come with. There are some MX450 game tests on youtube made on Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i-82FG00BPIN (which according to lenovo website uses 25W variant) i would compare the fps and if it's anywhere close then it seems your hp envy comes with 25w variant.
EDT:
According to this website (which allows you to check different specs of HP Envy) it's 25W

Hi @staarek,ngaim459,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer.
If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
Have a great day!
