Much lower gpu performance than expected.

[Jacqueter]

Hey, so recently I bought my first gaming laptop from Lenovo with an i5 11300h, rtx 3050 4gb, 8gb ram, but of course with my bad luck it couldn’t be that easy because the gpu performance are worse than a gtx 1050ti (turned out to be a low gpu usage). So I’ve seen a repair shop, contacted nvidia, lenovo, asked for some help on forums but still no fixes. There are some benchmarks of the exact same laptop but they had double the performance that I have. Something weird is that the frequency of the gpu is maxed out (1800mhz clock & 6000mhz memory).

 

full specs :

 

i5 11300h

rtx 3050 4gb vram

8gb ram 3200mhz single channel

478gb ssd

135w power brick

120hz monitor
intel iris xe graphics

Usually Lenovo's software (Lenovo Vantage) has power profiles. If I remember correctly you can cycle between those plans using Fn + Q. See if that helps.

That just sounds like bloatware, this is something that should be controlled in the nvidia control panel.

 

Disable any lenovo programs running in the background.

Could it be using the iris graphics instead of the GPU?

That might be it, go into the bios and disable the igpu, if that doesnt work use device manager.

 

Also go into the nvidia control panel, 3d settings, find power management mode and set it to "prefer maximum performance"

I can’t disable the apu and I’ve already set the power management to maximum performance.

It shows something on my screen but it doesn’t change anything
