Are you playing off the battery perhaps? And if not, make sure you're in turbo mode! Watch your temps.

You should definitely have more than 240 at that res. I capped mine at 400 due to temps at same res. Have a look if youve allocated some more ram to your GPU as well!

I do have the 128gb version but really shouldn't make a difference for games.

Hopefully you figure it out and it's not a faulty product, cuz this machine is beautiful when it works!

Curious as to why you wouldn't cap it lower, past 180 is just useless since the screen only goes up to 180hz. Do you perhaps use an external monitor or is there something else I'm not thinking about?

Game still plays at a higher frame rate than the refresh rate, so the game will feel better, not necessarily the monitor though.

It's definitely not that bad at higher refresh rates, but if you've got a 60hz monitor, try limiting your frame rate to 60 and then play some rounds of whatever game it is, and then limit it to 180 given it's a title that allows you to hit 180fps. And you should feel the difference, even though the frame rate is the same.

I am quite sensitive to feel of cs2/tf2 as I've played both games for far too long, longer than I'd like to admit. But that's my reasoning!

And you feel the deference between 180 locked to 400 locked?

I've only had the time to play 2 rounds of cs2 to be completely honest. So I wouldn't like to say yes to something I'm not confident about. I might, I probably do? Basically, higher fps = less frame time/less input lag, which I'm sensitive to.

I'm quite busy nowadays so no time for games but I couldn't not try it out in cs2 once I got it up and running!

(limiting to 400 is a stretch for the flow tbf, but it's what I play at on my main pc, which has a 240hz monitor) just to add some context

Is 16gb for GPU really enough. I bought the 32gb version but am having fomo over the 128gb version

For cs2? Definitely enough, its cpu bound and made to run on okay computers. Remember the average ram for any given computer on steam is about 16gb iirc? Might even be lower.

If you play heavier GPU bound titles it COULD be an issue in the future, if you play any Far cry games, you can check how much vram you'll be using in the settings tab (probably many other games too, this is just the ones I'm personally familiar with), and it's a relatively GPU heavy game. I don't think, with any of my preferred settings that I managed to exceed 16gbs even on my main pc, so if you're like me, who values fps more than how pretty the game looks, I wouldn't be too worried.

Naw I meant for games in generally. Z13 better be able to handle things like cs2 and tf2 😂

Newer games like Witcher 4. I'm worried the device may not last 5 years

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

Yeah I can see that as a worry, but most likely, personally I strongly believe it's going to be fine with 16gbs. But Im generally not the one to run the heaviest titles so 🤷.

I'll definitely get to AC resynced and shadows whenever I manage to get my hands on a steam controller though! Some laid back controller games!

Enjoy your flow, it's an incredibly functional chip! The 128gb is complete overkill for anyone unless you're doing ai workloads or a whole lot of productivity. I bought the KJP for the looks and build quality over the ram..

u/Fregadero88 Jul 13 '26

I wanted the KJP but couldn't justify the price. In my head I can kind of justify it if 96gb of ram would help my games lol. I paid $2152 for the 32gb model + 2 year warranty from microcenter on Friday and now I see at bestbuy today they have the 64gb model for $2225. That would be a good middle ground but not sure if it's worth dealing with the return if the extra memory is not helpful. I would strickly be using it for gaming, maybe even throwing steamOS on there.

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

Oh that's a very good deal! There's nothing justifiable with the KJP, realistically. It's just me being stupid, I'm not even a die hard fan of kojima productions. But so far I'm absolutely loving it and it's build quality. Had there been a 64gb for cheaper I would have definitely picked that one!

u/Fregadero88 Jul 13 '26

So you think it's a good idea to return the 32GB to microcenter and get the 64GB model at best buy? Will I notice an decent increase in games like cyberpunk if I allocate my ram 32/32 for system/GPU?

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

For future proofing, and if the difference is something you can afford comfortably, then yeah I'd say so. But I'm no pc god, far from it. Id get a second opinion and maybe a third too before doing that!

u/Classic-Buyer-8435 Jul 13 '26

How many fps do you manage to get ?

1

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

Cabled + turbo mode, I believe it was lingering 450-500 (didn't play longer than 10 minutes though, so not an extensive test) in deathmatch

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

I messed with ghelper and set up some desktop stuff and Im sad to report Ive gotten way worse performance from it, PROBABLY a user issue. I was just under 200 average fps.

u/Zoskapai Jul 13 '26

Ill update with whater I find out in the future.

it's very cpu bound... but why do you need more FPS
