I started with no changes to the default laptop configuration (ie I don't know what the power settings, Dragon Center settings, or anything else were). So in order to get higher performance you need to do a combination of undervolting and overclocking. So even though the GPU is capable of running at ~2100MHz at the stock 1.063v, it never gets close because the power consumption would be over 115W. Any time it has a high load it will slam into that 115W ceiling pretty quickly, even though the temperatures are fine (~75C with the stock fan curve).
Mine is set to the highest value for a mobile 2060 (115W) but that is still very restrictive. This is set by the manufacturer and usually can't be changed. Unlike desktop systems, laptops have strict power limits that really nerf the GPU performance. I used MSI Afterburner for the GPU and Throttlestop for the CPU (big thanks to I also used HWinfo for monitoring, Unigine Heaven and Superposition benchmarks, 3DMark Timespy Benchmark (those 3 are all GPU benchmarks), and Cinebench 20 for the CPU. Now my 2060 is as fast as a stock MaxP 2070, and my i7 Intel processor is nearly as good as a Ryzen 4600H. I got ~12% boost in GPU performance and a whopping 29% in multicore CPU. I'm definitely not an expert and suggestions and corrections are welcome! I muddled my way through, but it seemed to turn out pretty well. This is my first laptop in a long time, and my first attempt at undervolting and overclocking.
