Recently my Asus GL503GE started to lag(cannot go above 10-15 fps) in all games(and some normal apps). Here are the specs: CPU: I7-8750H GPU: GTX 1050ti RAM: 16 GB Storage: Windows 10 on a 120GB Adata SSD, and a 1TB HDD. I have tried reinstalling my display drivers, set my games to use the Nvidia GPU in the Nvidia control panel and the Windows Graphics preferences settings, use the 'best performance' power plan, but nothing has worked. I also have the latest BIOS version for my laptop and the latest Windows updates. When I play a game, the Nvidia GPU stays at 0% most of the time, but does random spikes of activity to 100% and the Intel GPU stays between 10% and 50%, with some random spikes to 100% as well. Here is a screenshot just after I shut down Elden Ring: What can I try to fix this?

I recently bought an ASUS TUF FX504 with an i7 8750h. The first time i ran cinebench (cpu) it has a 900+ score. Note that the first time i run cinebench i don't have any programs like intel xtu, throttlestop, cpuz, etc, just brand new out of the box with nothing installed. The next time i run it came out with only 750 ish score. I monitored the cpu and it was only running at 2.2 Ghz. This was n't caused by thermal throttling, because the cpu's temperatures were really low, only 55-60 celsius under full load. I opened intel xtu and noticed that it has a power limit throttling. And in throttlestop it shows that one of its limits is PL2. I tried undervolting the cache and the cpu core which resulted in an increase to the cpu frequency to 2.5-2.6 Ghz when running cinebench. Same case like before, thermals are not a problem, still hitting 55-60 celsius. Undervolting the cpu cache increases the cpu frequency, while the core clock doesn't do much, but i can only do it until a certain point. The power limit throttling is still there and i think it is the one that is causing the cpu frequency to be so low. Another thing that i noticed is that when the cpu is running all cores at 100% load, the pacakge tdp is only 25W despite the rated tdp at 45W. Changing the package power limit also didn't help. I changed it to 70W but it only reaches a max of 25W TDP when running cinebench. Btw, the cpu can still run up to 4 Ghz in daily tasks where the cpu load is pretty low. Please help me out.

I've recently added NVMe SSD (WD Blue SN550 [WDS500G2B0C]) to my MSI GP63 laptop (i7-8750H, 16GB, 1060 6GB, 120GB SATA SSD, 1TB HDD). Everything was fine, until I noticed CPU overheating, while installing updates, games, etc. I still had OS on SATA SSD and decided to test if it was problem with NVMe - no overheating on old OS, while installing to NVMe. CristalDiskMark shows that temperature spikes happen at random 4KiB test (read and write). From old SSD: From new SSD: Temperature of new SSD never went higher than 49°С during tests. P.S. Sorry for crappy English, not my first language.

Hello guys ! This post is following this one resolved : So am playing GTA V actually to tweak some configuration and see the evolution of my perfs (All i'm witing here, is in the order of my tweaks, and benchs pictures is respectively the order of my comment) i put GTA in Full Low Quality, still in 2K, and my first picture attached show the perfs. As you can see i've got like 1500MHz used, with a lil bit more than 0.800V in average for 35% usage generally. I just drop it like thius, in 3620x2036 DSR, nothing changes in terms of FPS (may be around 2 FPS less but it's almost like an error margin) Then i will just put maximum quality in the ones making me restart the game (I forgot i was in DST 3620x2036, so i changed for 2K, i gained 6Fps, but nothing changes in terme of perfs), : - Textures - Shaders - Particles - Grass This time, i have just a lil bit lower FPS, but nothing awful ahah, and the power consumption of my card is low, and the frequency as before is really high (voltage too) Now, i'm gonna tweak the settings to maximum of : - Shadow - Reflection - MSAA Reflection - Water Quality So i have some loss FPS, exactly the same, as if i putted the DSR Resolution, and i have a bit lowerage Frequency, for a higher Watt usage I will now put to the maximum the FXAA and see that i have like 4 FPS loss, and again lose frequency dropping from 1544 to 1430MHz, and voltage from beyond 800mV to 780mV If i put MSAA + TXAA, i'm now in a range of 1266MHz and 1316MHz generally and a voltage of 731mV for around 74 and 82W of usage Then i will use the settings i didn't upgraded and stop MSAA + TXAA + FXAA : - Post FX + Motion Blur Strenght And i'm in a range of 1367MHz up to 1481MHz, and a voltage between 762mV to 800mV If i put together MSAA + TXAA + FXAA : Average to 56 Fps, in a range of 1291MHz, 80W, and 731mV Now i disable again MSAA TXAA and FXAA, then up to the maximum quality : - Soft Shadow Nvidia PCSS - Anisotropic Filtering - Ambient Occlusion - Tessellation And my average MHz is 1315MHz, with 750mV, at 80W Now finally i will put max MSAA TXAA and FXAA and see final frequency, wattage, voltage : And i'm at the same results than before So, putting MSAA TXAA and FXAA downvolt and down frequency Putting Soft Shadow, anisotropic etc.. Downvolt and down frequency too But Putting these two together doesn't double lower the Volt and Frequency, this is absolutely physically not logical, if i can't catch and rise a weight of 100Kg, but i can do it with 50Kg, if i put 50Kg + 50Kg, i should not have the strenght to rise it, cause it is accumulation of weight making 100Kg... The last bench screen is with maximum advanced settings adding more quality to shadow, plus more quality in the range of view with shadows, so it should destroy performances, but not really that much... PS: i didn't do any tweak with In Game Scaling Resolution. EDIT : i add the bar of VRAM Used In Game with full maximum Settings, at 2K with Scaling Resolution.

Howdy all, longtime lurker - first post Briefly, the machine has an i7-8750H & GTX 1050 4gb (non TI), 2 x 1tb ssd's, 32gb ram. All drivers are up to date & system bios is also the latest (F10.A). There's a weird power switching issue going on that I can't seem to find the source of..... Sorry for the long post below haha. With the machine on mains power, from the initial cold boot, the CPU runs fine (undervolted & running 45-60w @ 95c under benchmark loads). The problem is the nvidia GPU, with the machine in the same state after a cold boot, running any Performance test 10.0 GPU benchmark results in super low FPS - see below. From cold boot - AC adapter plugged in DX10: 10-12 fps DX11: 20-25 fps DX12: 14 fps Logging shows GPU core v .715 v, Clock 1000mhz. Just horrible!! But here's kicker #1, if I unplug the charger from the laptop for a couple of seconds after the system has booted to the desktop, plug it back in & rerun the same benchmarks..... DX10: 49 fps DX11: 80 fps DX12: 50fps Logging: GPU core .811v , Clock 1354mhz. Kicker #2: Over clocking the GPU..... Gpu core .950v, Clock 1825mhz, mem 4000mhz DX10: 65 fps DX11: 105fps DX12: 72 fps Unplugging the charger (momentarily) puts the GPU into a higher power state – but WHY?? The exact opposite happens with the CPU – high power state on initial boot (45-60w under full load). Unplugging the AC adapter & plugging it back in again results in the CPU power being limited to 20W (showing as PL2 limit in throttlestop) only shutting down & re-booting the system will restore the CPU back to it's full power state. I'd appreciate some input to get my head around this behavior & see if there is a way around it? It isn't being caused by windows Power Plans changing & not changing back - I've even set up another power profile with all power saving disabled & there's no change. The screen shot below shows Cinebench R20 results & the performance difference between 'normal' 2734 @ full power & the drop to 1672 @ 20W. (Both runs are with the ac adapter plugged in - but the low score is after unplugging the adapter for 5 seconds & plugging it back in prior to re-running the bench mark)

Hey guys, so I just got GTA 5 from the epic games store and after I downloaded the game I realized that I can't even run the game on 1920x1080 with a constant fps of 60. Also when I go play GTA online I get around 30-50fps if I play on 720p. I haven't tried online with 1920x1080 because judging from the results of 720p I highly doubt I'll even be able to go past 40 on 1080p. Now I did undervolt my cpu a little bit because of thermal issues but that was it. CPU : i7-8750h GPU : GTX 1060 6GB VRAM RAM : 16GB OS : Windows 10

Hello, I'm certainly not the most savvy person when it comes to computers so I'm reaching to anyone who might be able to help. During what should be relatively low-stress gaming for my system, my CPU experiences power limit throttling and my CPU temperatures will spike drastically (97-98C). I'll only have the occasional drop in frame-rate which does not bother me, however, the temperatures do. So far, I've undervolted my CPU by -0.130, and have matched my Boost Power Max with my Short Boost Power Max, yet to no avail. (I'm not sure if this information will be helpful, but I'll still include it): Processor Core IccMax --- 128.000 A Turbo Boost Power Max -- 45.00 W Any help with controlling my temperatures would be greatly appreciated.

The frequency about i7-8750h drops while I start a game.It will drop down to 2.06GHz. But usually the frequency is about 4.1GHz! I want to increase my game frames, which is quite important for games like cs:go. And that depends on CPU frequency for sure. So how to make the frequency of i7-8750h higher when playing games? I hope it can hold at least 3GHz while gaming. Oh, my laptop is z7-kp7ec from Hasee.

I'm having throttling (mostly power limit throttling on the CPU) problems with my new MSI laptop. MSI GL63 8RC laptop i7-8750H GeForce® GTX 1050 with 4GB GDDR5 8 gigs DDR4-2400 RAM (Not sure where to look for motherboard model info) Here's the laptop specs, per MSI: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GL63-8RC I replaced a decent desktop with this laptop because it would have cost $900 to ship my PC when I moved cross country (last time I went with cheap chipping my computer arrived broken). This laptop cost a bit more (Canadian $) but on paper offered slightly better CPU and GPU. I'm learning that specs on paper are a bit meaningless when going from desktop to laptop. I mostly play World of Warcraft, a game that cares more about CPU than GPU, and again on paper, this looks like a decent fit. However, I'm running into brutal throttling problems. What I've tried (and failed to get decent performance): tinkering (undervolting) with ThrottleStop on my own after looking at various posts about it increasing of short term max power limits with ThrottleStop undervoltling the GPU with Afterburner updating to the latest MSI-provided BIOS (I briefly considered unlocking my BIOS but given how little I know that seemed like a terrible idea) copying the specific settings that worked for somebody else on this CPU (diff overall config though) at: Points to consider: Temperature throttling is not an issue, I'm running the fan at full and seeing average CPU and GPU temps in the 40s and 50s (Celcius). Max is usually low 60s, max I've ever seen was in the 70s -- HOWEVER please seen final screenshot where BD PROCHOT throttling was applied to my CPU and GPU despite temps being totally safe and well below the 95 C throttling limit When I clear the ThrottleStop limits frame I *immediately* get an EDP OTHER warning under RING no matter what knobs I twiddle, even when the PC is totally idling other than ThrottleStop If I open a browser (Firefox or Chrome) while playing WoW the limit panel lights up like Xmas, especially if I'm watching a video (quality settings don't seem to matter) I've managed to get it from throttling so often it was unplayable to just feeling like I'm playing on a twice-baked potato. Current ThrottleStop settings are pictured below, along with the usual Limits frame. I'm also using Intel XTU just to monitor visually, and CPU usage is typically hitting high points of 50%. (Note: I'm not making any settings changes in XTU as I've seen it stated frequently that it can clash with ThrottleStop.) I'd be happy to provide any other info, settings, logs, screenshots. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed as while I understand in the broad sense what undervolting is all about I don't know what each option does or how they might play off each other. Any guidance would be appreciated. Cheers. Screenshots: Current ThrottleStop settings and the graph of last 30 minutes via XTU (most of that just writing this post/taking screenshots but I was playing WoW towards the beginning of that time period)

First of all ive never made an account for any forum let alone post on any forum before, but i need anyone help with a laptop i have recently purchased. I recently purchased a laptop off of the used market, its a Hasee z8-cr7p1, and its specs are an i7-8750h, rtx 2060 6gb of gddr6, 32gb of ram, and a 500gb ssd and 2tb of hard drive space. I did a fresh install of windows 10 on the laptop and have all the latest drivers for everything in the pc especially the gpu and have tried running some games but am reaching nowhere near the fps i should be getting, for example in minecraft im only getting like 70 fps and in r6 siege im only getting around 60 fps. Ive already made sure the laptop is not thermal throttling as the gpu sits around 50 degrees while running the games and i have already made sure my laptop is not using the integrated gpu and already went into nvidia control panel to make everything on max performance and the nvidia gpu. I could use any advice the ltt community has to offer and thanks for reading this.

Hi, I recently got a Dell G7 15, and have been tinkering with undervolting to improve performance. I seem to be able to get ICCMax all the way up to 255.75 and so far no problems. Should I turn it down? Could this hurt the cpu or board? Does it degrade performance? Basically, what am I doing and why could it be wrong? Thank you for your time.

Hi, I recently purchased a Dell G7 15 laptop with a GTX 1060 Max Q and I7-8750H. I knew it was going to have throttling issues, but I assumed they would be easily remedied. I did the standard undervolting procedure as stated in another thread, but am still not achieving the results I am looking for. I am not using a cooling pad, though if this issues doesn't or cannot be resolve I may resort to getting one. Below is a picture of my settings in Intel XTU. I've gotten a max cinebench score of 1175 with an average a little under 950. While gaming, I average 3-3.1GHz at 60-65C. I wouldn't mind a slightly higher clocks if I have to sacrifice temp and noise. The main issue I am having with Cinebench is Ill get halfway or a third of the way through a bench and then the temperature finally hits 88C, making the CPU throttle and fans FINALLY kick on to max. I would like to find a way to make them start at max instead of only doing it when throttling down. Thanks for your time.
