Hello.
I received a hand-me-down HP Envy 17 from my grandpa for UE5 development. The GPU is an RTX 3050 with 4GB of memory and 35W power consumption, while the CPU is an I7-1355U. It seems capable of running the games I want and even surpasses the recommended specifications for Re2, Halo: MC, Dispatch, and Silksong.
However, these titles have been experiencing stuttering or micro-stutters. Re2 stands out because my GPU usage fluctuates between 74-91%, which is uncertain whether that’s acceptable. During intense moments with many zombies, the CPU usage exceeded the GPU usage. Dispatch and Silksong consistently show around 12% GPU and 9% CPU usage. I’m not sure if this is normal, but they also had stutters. Halo: MC has inconsistent frame times, though this issue occurred on my Steam Deck as well, so it’s not too concerning. Sonic Racing Crossworlds, on the other hand, consistently suffers from poor frame rates and micro-stutters during air tricks or boosts—here the GPU is around 51% and CPU around 21%.

I’m unsure if I’m overheating (my temperatures are normal), but if not, any suggestions on reducing frame times or adjusting settings in the Control Panel would be appreciated. I’m around 15 years old and can’t afford another PC since my Steam Deck is already broken 😢.
Thank you for your help!

Updated: played halo ce anniversary once more and it was 84 percent gou and 41 percent cpu at maximum with 168-180 frames before my laptop crashed completely.
🙁
Tried the Spyro remaster too, which had 99 percent gpu and 22 percent cpu usage—maybe it’s not that bad?
