Error: CPU core limit exceeded
Error: CPU core limit exceeded
Recently purchased a new laptop - Acer Nitro V 15 - ANV15‑51‑914J
i9 13900H
RTX 4050
32gb RAM (default 1 x 16gb 4800mhz and I added 1 x 16gb 5200mhz since they didn’t have a 4800mhz model available)
My initial issue was that the FPS wasn’t as high as expected. The GPU was only operating at 30%, and I had configured Nvidia and Windows settings to prioritize the Nvidia GPU. After switching Windows to High Performance mode, my laptop fully utilized the GPU and FPS improved significantly. However, when I entered a demanding environment—such as exploring a settlement in New World or playing in DayZ with a custom trader—or after applying certain mods in Escape from Tarkov, my FPS would drop from 70 to 25 FPS, but it never recovered once I left those areas. This also occurred in Escape from Tarkov when I played for a while.
On HWinfo64, I observed that the core limit exceeded was marked as "yes" each time my FPS dropped. My CPU temperature didn’t reach 80 during these drops. Throttlestop FIVR is not available. I haven’t adjusted the CPU voltage in BIOS. I’ve set maximum processor state to 99%. I attempted setting PL1 to 45W and PL2 to 110W on Throttlestop, but no one else reported similar issues.
Anyone has experienced this problem or knows a solution?
Thanks.
It doesn't really matter as long as your power limit is 45W; it will stay at that level. If the core limit reaches 45W, you should increase it if you believe that's the problem.
However, with a large GPU in a laptop, you should check the BIOS settings to find out the overall system power limits.
In general, people would say that performance drops because of power or temperature issues will affect gaming more than the CPU cores.

Some games alter turbo power limits and then never revert them to their original settings. This should not happen.
Inspect the ThrottleStop Log File box and execute a log file while playing a game for at least 15 minutes. Paste the results here.
This action disables Intel Turbo Boost, which can significantly reduce performance in Intel mobile CPUs. Restore it to 100%.

I've updated my BIOS and it looks like it could have fixed it, thank you though!
