this just shows how better the dimensity 7020 is compared to g100, which the g100 has better graphics, it is more on the budget option. Raw power goes to the dimensity at this rate.

Is it true that the IMG BXM-8-256 is very unstable at max graphics, or gaming in general?

Yes, it is noticeably weaker than G57-MC2 in terms of stability for gaming. Largely because that Dimensity chip is rarely used, while G57-MC2 is utilised everywhere. However, the Dimensity's GPU does have more raw power, I think, so hopefully it will be optimised better.
