I had a Asus TUF A15 Ryzen 5 7535HS paired with an RTX 2050 4gb and had no issues loved it, but unfortunately it was stolen but opted to replace it with a Lenovo LOQ i5 12450HX paired with a RTX 3050 6gb as I got a good deal. The proof is in the podding.

I have seen a few of these comparisons for the 2 cpu's above and they give different results...i am going for the Ryzen myself as its a lot less heat generated...heat is bad long term...a systems killer ..my Ryzen 5 7535HS will be paired with a RTX 4060 so seems like a great combo.

Not the best combo if you are pairing with a full TDP 8GB 4060; would have been better with a 4050. In your case, there might be a CPU bottleneck.
