Hello everyone! About a week ago, I had an Asus Tuf with an i5-10300 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1650. It used to play Warzone smoothly on low or medium graphics at about 60 to 70 frames per second. Two days ago, I bought another Tuf with a new i5-11400h processor, a 3050 graphics card, and more RAM thinking it would help my frame rate go up a little bit. But right now, I can't even stay at 60fps on the same settings. The CPU uses about 56%, the GPU uses only 36%, and the RAM is at 97%. That doesn't seem right because usually both should use way more than that percentage? I have updated my BIOS and NVIDIA drivers already.

Welcome to the forums, fresh guy! Did you try using DDU to manually reinstall the latest drivers from Nvidia by right-clicking the installer and choosing Run as Administrator? Do you have an idea of how much RAM your new laptop has? Is it 12 GB?

Yeah, it has 8 gigabytes of memory too. I did not even bother trying to wipe and reinstall it yet. Now is the time for that though.
