Low frame rates observed on MX150 and i7-8650u
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Lenovo T480 laptop equipped with an MX150 and an i7-8650u. No matter the game I play, my FPS remains very low compared to benchmarks and videos I’ve seen, even when playing games on friends using the same MX150. For example, with Nier Automate, I should be seeing at least 30 FPS in the lowest settings, but I only get 5-10 FPS. All system metrics—GPU clock, CPU clock, temperatures—appear normal as shown in the images below:

I tried several approaches:
1. Undervolting the CPU with ThrottleStop at -100.6Mv
2. Adjusting turbo ratio limits to:
1-core: 38
2-core: 33
3-core: 29
4-core: 27
3. Applying these settings in ThrottleStop:

4. Raising the GPU throttling temperature limit from 70 to 80 using GPU Tweaker 2
Otherwise, I could still undervolt the GPU, but I doubt it will make a significant difference since it’s consistently running below 80 and stable at 1700Mhz. I also considered updating the BIOS, though my system is quite new and I think that won’t change much either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Is there any issue detected with your GPU? It seems to be running at maximum capacity all the time.
