Cant hit 144fps in pubg with relatively powerfull hardware
Cant hit 144fps in pubg with relatively powerfull hardware
The core issue is the limitations of your hardware, specifically the RTX 2070 mobile GPU and the i7-8750H processor within the context of demanding modern games. While you’ve optimized cooling and RAM, these components are aging and struggle to maintain consistently high frame rates at higher settings in titles like PUBG and Modern Warfare 2019. The RTX 2070 is a capable GPU, but it's not designed for the extreme demands of ultra settings at 144Hz.
Here’s a breakdown of why you’re experiencing these issues and potential solutions:
* **GPU Bottleneck:** The RTX 2070, while overclocked, is still a mobile GPU with limited power and thermal headroom compared to desktop counterparts. Modern games are incredibly demanding on GPUs, especially at higher resolutions and settings. It's likely the GPU is struggling to process all the visual data required for ultra settings, leading to frame rate drops.
* **CPU Bottleneck:** The i7-8750H is a decent processor, but it’s also starting to show its age. Some games rely heavily on CPU performance, particularly in tasks like physics calculations and AI processing. This can create a bottleneck that limits the GPU's potential.
* **Game Optimization:** Modern Warfare 2019 and PUBG are notoriously demanding games. Their optimization has improved over time, but they still require significant hardware to run smoothly at high settings.
* **144Hz Panel Demand:** Running a game at 144 frames per second requires a lot of processing power. Your laptop’s components might not be able to consistently deliver that level of performance, especially when combined with the demands of a 144Hz display.
Optimize game performance by using different words.
Utilize the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to fine-tune your graphics card for optimal gaming experiences. Consider reducing resolution scaling to 720p or 900p on lower-end cards to achieve stable frame rates of 144+ FPS, particularly with mid-to-high settings in most games. Implementing a target refresh rate limiter can help maintain consistent performance by minimizing those infrequent low-FPS spikes. Resetting your graphics card's clock and disabling features like MSAA can further enhance performance.
What resolution are you running?
What are the cpu and gpu temperatures and clock speeds (GHz/MHz) when in game?
Also do you see any cpu cores at 100% (total cpu usage is meaningless, need to look at each core) usage or gpu usage at 100%?
I am runing for example PUBG at 1920x1080, 144hz, screen scale at 120 (resolution upscaling) thats around 2200x1400 for example idk bcs everything looks much sharper at distance...
Gpu core is mostly runing around 1800-1900mhz with temps never above 75-77 and CPU is runing all the time at 3914mhz and never losing clock speed because cooling is extremly good for a laptop... Cpu almost never hits 89-90 celsius...
When it comes to cpu/gpu usage for example in pubg CPU usage is 35% and gpu 47% but for example in rainbow six siege on ULTRA CPU usage is on 65-75% and GPU up to 80-85%
That all sounds good, just when measuring cpu usage do any individual cores hit 100% even if total cpu is lower? It’s clear the gpu is not being fully utilised.
PUBG - i am using HW monitor for checking all those parameters. GPU utilization max was 92% (only for a second its never standing all the time on 92% its usually around 50% and CPU cores all runned at 3914mhz and all cores were on around 60-70% usage only 2 of them went up to 85% and 84%
But my question is.. is it possible to FORCE both gpu and cpu to run and use full available power that they have (100% usage)? bcs i am sure that i can hit those 144+fps but dk how...
You can’t really force it. A games FPS is dictated by whatever is the limiting factor. Now usually that’s the cpu or gpu but it can be other things and it does not look to be cpu or gpu based on what you have said. You have dual channel reasonable speed RAM so it’s unlikely that. You don’t have a cpu core stuck at 100% which could have indicated some other program/nasty hogging cpu resources.
However R6 running at the same fps on low to ultra settings is what you would expect with a cpu bottleneck or cpu resources issue.
My next thought is a driver problem. I’d use DDU to completely remove all traces of the gpu driver and then install the latest gpu driver. If it’s not that I’m running low on ideas.
It sounds like you are giving the 115W mobile gpu far too much credit, expecting 144FPS, the benchmarks just prove it won't do it even at 720P in most games. It's bigger for a reason. a mobile 2070 is basically a neutered 1650 with more ram. Mobile stuff is all marketing. Keep your expectations realistic 😉 Almost never hits 90C rofl, it should NEVER hit 90C with a TJUNC of 100°C Have you bothered to set the Nvidia Control Panel options? You're bottlenecking that 2070. You shouldn’t be getting 144FPS on max settings for sure, maybe mid-high.

Apart from your RAM comment which I am not sure about that seems like a generic answer not taking into account the information provided. The information provided does not indicate thermal throttling and neither a cpu bottleneck. I’ve got a laptop with an RTX2060 and i7 9750H and it’s normal for my cpu to be >90c in games and typical of gaming laptops. While you do need to manage expectations with laptops there does seem to be something odd or at least the limiting factor is not immediately obvious. Maybe it is the RAM, I can’t actually remember what speed my laptop RAM is, will look later.
