(The latest CPU generation for Intel Core is 14th; Core Ultra, 1st)
Also, this is a laptop or desktop?

Run the Time Spy benchmark and post the results screen. (Basic edition; it's a demo on its Steam page)
wicked swallow
alr
lone bear
what now
Something's wrong; GPU VRAM is not clocking
Install and run this. When prompted, tick "sensors-only" and let it finish opening. Once it's open, without closing HWINFO64, re-run the 3DMark test.
Once 3DMark finishes, screenshot and post the contents of HWINFO64. Of interest are all CPU and GPU sections.

GPU memory never increases clocks from near idle
If this laptop isn't plugged in, plug it in.
If it were, unplug it, and plug it in again, after 15 seconds
Also give the laptop maker's utilities a check and toggle some kind of performance mode or profile. Usually I'd probably try to change it to some kind of power saver, then back to balanced or performance and see what happens

im using ultimate preformance mode

> GPU memory never increases clocks from near idle
and i have an alienware software that also has preformance mode
lone bear
im using ultimate preformance mode
See what happens when you put them both to Balanced or the closest equivalent

Going to need to do some more drastic things
First, try using the Media Creation Tool to make a USB installation disk.
DO NOT RESTART YOUR PC
Instead, run the setup on the USB you just made. You can skip the updating part.
When it asks you to confirm that it will upgrade while keeping apps and documents, check that it really is what it is saying, then go ahead and perform an over-install.

when e changed my resolution in fn i started getting more fps but still not like before

(It's optional, but you really should back up your personal files just in case it goes wrong.)
wicked swallow
do i need a usb?
lone bear
Yes, of 8GB+
If you don't have one, I suggest buying a 64GB to start with. Any smaller capacity is poor value when you want to reuse the drive later on.
wicked swallow
alr ima check if i have one
wicked swallow
Yes, of 8GB+
i dont have one is there any thing else i can do in the meanwhile
does this count
its an extenal drive i think
lone bear
You can use this to backup your personal files, but I wouldn't suggest using this as your USB install disk
wicked swallow
damn alright

i dont have one is there any thing else i can do in the meanwhile

and by backup files do you mean restore point
lone bear
and by backup files do you mean restore point
No!
You NEED to manually make copies of what's in your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Videos, maybe other folders you can find in C:\Users\(your username))
Restore Points only deal with the basis system information and system files. It does not deal with personal files. And the points are irrelevant if you replace the OS anyway.
