Hey, I will add the details of the laptop specs, basically my issue is that my laptop is not using enough wattage, and it's not stable. CPU results are perfect, RAM is perfect, SSD is perfect, GPU doesn't work properly. It's 2022 ROG Zephyrus M16, and I am getting 24 average FPS on GTA 5 with 1080P High settings.

GPU: 3060 Laptop - 120W with OverClock
CPU: i7 12700h - 14 core
RAM: 16GB DDR5
Storage: 2TB SSD + 512GB SSD

The screenshot includes average wattage and power consumption it's using while gaming. 1/4 of what it should be. Thanks in advance.

do you have the laptop plugged in

tepid pasture
#

Yes I do, power limits are off, testing on ultra mode

#

what does your armoury crate look like

#

o u use g-helper

#

what happens when you put the GPU in ultimate mode

tepid pasture
#

same results

dark flint
#

interesting, when youre playing GTA do you know what GPU is used? if its the iGPU or dGPU

#

you can check in task manager or g-helper should give you utilization

tepid pasture
#

it's happening on any game, so not only gta. but i don't know the difference between those gpus you asked.

#

i will check it as soon as i can. i am working right now.

@fathom sky @opaque radish

#

yep, it could potentially just be defaulting to the GPU on the CPU

tepid pasture
#

oh if you mean the integrated gpu from intel, i know the games are using the dgpu from nvidia, i checked that before

dark flint
#

hmm alright, i would try to reset everything to factory defaults and try that to see if that resolves the issue

ive never used g-helper and i'm still using armoury crate so, i'm a bit foreign to that idea

tepid pasture
#

umm i unfortunately have tried that couple times already ahahahah

#

but thanks for the suggestion at least!

The only thing I can think of is try thru ghelper to see if it makes a difference. Sorry couldn't help much here since I have the amd version (6800s) and ghelper doesn't een have gpu tweaking option for it

Could try to Uninstall and reinstall armory crate

#

That then

tepid pasture
#

okay i will try all these, thanks!

#

results from 3dmark, in case y'all see something unusual in the graphics. i am not really used to 3dmark results. is there anything werid at the graphics?

opaque radish
#

Well it's using the igpu

#

As you can see the average should be much higher

tepid pasture
#

i checked, and it's not using the igpu, still these results. i only enabled dgpu on g-helper and tried again, same results.

dark flint
#

have you tried going back to armoury crate?

tepid pasture
#

i have tried that too, no results
