Posted October 15, 2020 Hey everyone. Just picked up a Razer Blade Stealth 1650 (non TI) and I have run into this strange issue. Whenever I play any games, or anything involving the gpu really on wall power, my fps gets capped at 40fps. Disabled all geforce experience options, reset nvidia control panel, tried both internal and external monitor, different power modes, nothing seems to work. Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be great So it’s slower on wall power? Is it still slower on wall power after the battery is fully charged? Not a pro, not even very good. I’m just old and have time currently. Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake. Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Not necessarily slower, as when i unplug from the wall it drops by about 5-10fps. The issue is that any game, and any benchmark will not go above 40fps regardless of wall power or battery power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 15, 2020 go to nvidia control panel and try forcing v sync off. this only works with full screen applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep still not working. Curious thing is that if it is like a pre-rendered loading screen (an example is the Nvidia loading screen that plays prior to a game) that is uncapped and plays at 60fps or whatever frame rate the video is at. However the moment it gets into a game, 40fps lock. Happens in all games regardless of VSync as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's verified working, what about a soft reset? Also, are you launching your games from a launcher like Steam or Origin? Or are they standalones?

If on wall power, it maxes out at 40fps, even though while on battery the 1650 is easily able to hit 80-100fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading around and in Nvidia control panel all my gpu dependent programs had a 40fps cap that wasn't a global option. Kinda strange but it works now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda strange but it works now I found the option you're referring to, and that is indeed strange because the default option appears to be 'off' or uncapped. Very odd that yours had a cap without you setting it yourself. But at least it works, so good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
