    As discussed, that is not a gaming laptop, it only has intergrated graphics.
    I have the 5500U, so a generation older, and its ok for games probably to 2015 ish.

    You can increase the TDP using this application, its not goint to solve your issues though.
    Hi is changing the Power Plan settings in Windows 11 from Balanced to Performance the same thing?

    No it is not
    Doesn't the laptop automatically adjusts the TDP depending on the internal temperature of the laptop and whether its plugged in or not?

    Or do I need to download that utility to get the max power watts from my laptop and without it less watts power means bottleneck for performance?

    Acer, that says a lot about the quality of the product.
