Issues with low frame rates in games, improper CPU and GPU usage in the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533QS
Laptop model:
Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533QS
Ryzen 9 5900 HX
RTX 3080 16gb
32 GB RAM
I've been using the laptop for a while, and have been experiencing an issue that troubles me during my gaming sessions
Most of the time my gaming performance seems fairly decent, but when playing some games I seem to be experiencing a utilization problem. For example, the newly released Penacony zone in Honkai Star Rails makes my game performance drop to 20 fps, depending on the density of the area, despite my GPU utiliziation being at 80% and CPU being used at only 30% with the frequency staying around 3.2-3.3 Ghz, despite the maximum being more than 4.2 Ghz
Are there any solutions you could recommend to me aside from having it checked at a service centre? There is probably some throttling messing with my performance or some mishap with my Armoury Crate settings, but undervolting might overlap with the aforementioned software's settings which I need for my fan cooling.
You've identified the most probable cause right away. I'd remove the AC unit before proceeding with any other steps. Verify that the most recent BIOS version is installed on your laptop. If not, update it and visit the product support page for your model to confirm the latest chipset, network controller (LAN and WiFi), Bluetooth, and audio drivers are present. Avoid relying on the built-in Windows drivers. Also, ensure the latest Nvidia drivers for the mobile 3080 are applied.
