I have an ROG STRIX G16 with a 4070, 16GB of 4800MHz DDR5, a 13980HX, and a 1TB M.2 NVMe drive. Fortnite at all low settings on performance mode with everything else closed runs at 14 FPS with continuous stuttering. I am plugged in and previously have had no issues with this laptop.
#Laptop running incredibly badly

This is really sounding like the dGPU just stayed disabled and iGPU is used instead
flat garden
Nope
iGPU is totally off
Manually done by me
On G Helper
After the issue started I wondered if that was it and turned the iGPU off
Didn't help
orchid saffron
What's the GHelper thingy again?
flat garden
Confirmed it on task manager

What's the GHelper thingy again?
It's a light client alternative to Asus's Armoury Crate
So a non-bloatware alternative to bloatware
BIOS is fully updated, drivers are fully updated, I used DDU for a fresh everything
Same exact issue

Download hwinfo64 and monitor temps, and power usage. See if it's thermal throttling. Check if it's not getting the proper power / wattage.

Yeah that sounds like overheating
Good news is that a new coat of thermal compound will fix it
Bad news is that it's an involved process
flat garden
I know how to do it, I've built a bunch of PCs, it is definitely pretty dumb for laptops tho
flat garden
Yeah that sounds like overheating
And yeah I looked up that Asus apparently doesn't put thermal paste on their shit
I'm just wondering why it wasn't an issue before
orchid saffron
And yeah I looked up that Asus apparently doesn't put thermal paste on their shi...
