[paultrandafir]

Hello guys! I have a big problema and i hope that you can help meeee...............
I have a laptop with GTX1060 6GB and a i7 7700hq...an ASUS laptop to be specific.
So.
When a play any game...my videocard is hitting power limit all the time and i don't know why...
I'll atach here a photo with GPU-Z in load (Heaven Benchmark). 
Hope you can help me!
Thank you!

A desktop 1060 is usually wired with a 6 pin PCIe power cable, so it's outfitted for a total of 150 watts from both that and the motherboard. Unless yours is a Max-Q 1060, it'll probably be close to that draw, which is pretty significant for a laptop if you ask me.

I don't think that is normal...cause in PUBG for example i have 140 fps and it drops like 50 to 60 for nothing...NO THERMAL THROTTELING. 
My laptop is Liquid Metal repasted. I have like 70 degrees max temperature in any game.

Does this happen when you are plugged in as well? Also, have you undervolted your CPU? Might improve power delivery

Yes! When it's plugged. I undervolted it... -135 mv ...Stable af. 
Also...when i am in lobby in PUBG my GPU runs at 90 ish %... but when i am in game 60% to 78%. Do you know why?!

I think it has to do with the objects being rendered, I think the waiting zone loads in more stuff to prepare it to be used in game

In lobby...like before to start a game

Don't see an issue. It uses power, needs more. A lot of games push the card harder in the lobby which is why a lot cap the frames there now.

I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the subject I as well have a 1060 but max q and one day just wanted to see what the card was running, temp wise and downloaded afterburner I am getting power limit hit and no load hit when the power limit is at zero so basically just bouncing back and forth from power limit and no load limit  laptops is a hp omen with i7-8750h and gtx 1060max q could i get some help or is this normal for max q cards thermals on gpu never go above 71 degrees c from what I looked up is considered below normal temps when card is pushed to max load
