Hi i didn't know if this was the right place to be asking this but i was looking at this laptop which is within my price range https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834316439 and i am wondering if the Vega 8 in the system is able to be overclocked and even if it is only by 5% because while it is mainly for school work and watching my anime when i travel there is a few games i would love to play on it like Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 3 and Dead Island Definitive Edition so if anyone can confirm this it would be helpful and my budget it up to 850$ which is why i am not going for the Ryzen 7 2700U laptops cause in Canada they go up to 1000$.

Ok that doesn't answer my question and also i don't mind 768p and most games i would be playing on it mainly would do 720p only (without some kind of mod) because the one game i still love playing as well is The Force Unleashed 2 and max res is 720p.
But ya i just wanted to know if the iGPU can be overclocked with using Ryzen Master so the performance would be a little better.

yes, gaming on 720p with those old ones is fine, but watching video with that resolution ?!
anyway, it is up to you
