Gaming box 2070 + asus ux550ve<AC Odyssey crisis>

[Joro_san]

Hello people!

 

First topic here so taking all kinds of suggestions

 

So, a month ago I bought Aorus gaming box 2070. The laptop I'm using it with is Asus ux550ve(i7 7700HQ, 1050Ti, 8GB DDR4, 512 M2, FHD 60Hrz) through either of the two tunderbolt 3 ports(believe they are 4x lanes each).

 

And there is something that I can't figure so was hoping some of you can make some sense out of it all: the games I've tried are not many but the results vary BIG. So Rise of the Tomb Raider runs around 70FPS on ultra in FHD, FIFA and HoMM 7 run perfect but they are realtively light. The main problem is Assassins creed! I had Origins and on all Ultra it was running great(60-70FPS) but Odyssey is a total failure on this setup. I've tried playing with the settings but no matter what I do I stay in 20-30FPS range.

And it drives me crazy! I understand there will be bottle neck because of the TB3 but is it possible to have such a difference from two consecutive titles of the same game?!? There is plenty of memory on the GPU but can the CPU be the problem in this case? I have a 1080p projector where while connected to the gaming box directly the results gain ~10% in FPS but that's it. Haven't tried on 4K yet but I'm frankly scared because of what I see on FHD. 

 

Any ideas why is this occurring?  

 

Cheers!

Really, nobody here that can have an idea about it?

mabe its runnign on the 1050ti bet you thats the prob black ops 4 has the same issue were it would use intel integrated desktops by default instead of your desecrate gpu

@Dreamer758 Thanks for the reply but that's not the case, I'll upload one screenshot of the benchmark but the GPU in use is the 2070.

ACO is probably one of the most cpu intensive games out there, it's a cpu bottleneck.

We can't see gpu utilization from your screenshots but it seems like your CPU is being utilized %100 and it cant go any further. It might be a cpu bottleneck but lets see the gpu stats.

I was worried that it might be the case but was Origins so different in CPU utilization?

I used to see it before I installed Aorus Engine, will try again later and see if I can get the stats from the diagnostics tool in the program. 

 

Can you confirm if the CPU/GPU ms in the diagrams are the speed of each frame being send back and forth for rendering? I'm a bit unsure what to get out of it..

 

Thanks for the help !

btw, I maxed out everything(even Volumetric clouds  and the frames stayed the same so it's CPU bottleneck for sure 

The question is: can I do something about it or I just have to buy a new laptop ?

it's the ubisoft special, they push the envelop on hardware requirements, ghost recon wildlands maxes out a 8600k, and the upcoming title looks way more intensive. There isn't much you can do about a cpu bottleneck on a laptop, but i wouldn't upgrade just for 1 game either.

All right people, after some annoying hours I think I got a playable scenario. The 7700HQ will always be at 100% but after I overclocked the speed(+334) and boost(+123) of the 2070 somehow I managed to get stable 40+ fps on ultra settings  @1080p. If someone has better idea of overclock settings I'm more than happy to try others.  Every now and then I have to restart the laptop before launching the game so it's in performance mode(not sure how correct is this but it helps). Also make sure you have Aorus engine installed for overclocking. That's it for now then, thanks for the brief but relevant help!
