HELP ME!!!!

[Mike_Literus]

I have some serious power limit throttling issues. Whenever I am playing any game, CPU speed drops from 3.9ghz all the way down to 1.6ghz and GPU speed drops from 1500mhz all the way down to 139mhz. It happens every second and it is fine for another 3-4 seconds. The battery also stops charging when the cpu speed drops then it starts charging again. I checked Dell Power Manager and battery health is excellent. As you can see in the pictures, my temps are pretty low too but it is still throttling. When CPU speed is high, GPU speed drops and when GPU speed is high, CPU speed drops.

 

 

Specs: 

Laptop: Dell G3 3579

CPU: Core i7 8750h

GPU: GTX 1050 ti 

RAM: 16Gb 2667 MHz

your problem seems to be that you laptop stops charging . when "not plugged". if your computer recognizes its not charging it will do so. maybe check your power adapter?

couple possible factors

1) power setting

2) nvidia optimus setting. go to the nvidia setting and force enable nvidia graphic card for all games so the games stop trying to switch GFX to save power.
