Performance metrics declining sharply, shifting from full utilization to partial usage intermittently.
I just got a brand new laptop ( ASUS Vivobook 16X K3605ZF). It has an RTX2050 and 13th gen i5 processor but it's randomly dropping from a stable 70-80FPS at 100% GPU Utilization down to 10-30FPS at 10-40% utilization for half of the game. It is random and really frustrating to play with. Is this issue specific to my laptop or also similar ones as well? I can get it replaced if it is specifically mine since I am still within the return period. I've attached a clip below as an example. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thanks! Windows 11. Intel® Core™ i5-12450H Processor. RAM: 16 GB / Storage: 512 GB SSD. Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 4 GB. Full HD screen / 120 Hz. Battery life: Up to 9 hours. No overclocking
Turned off the device and now it’s being identified as the "Microsoft Basic Display Driver." The game is running very slowly, about 5 frames per second. I’m trying to find a stable power setting but can’t adjust anything else. This problem occurs whether the device is plugged in or not.
I'm here to help and clarify any questions you have! Let me know what you'd like to discuss or adjust.
Device likely relies on Optimus, meaning turning off the integrated graphics turns off the main GPU for the screen. It's wiser to manage the Nvidia Control Panel and assign the preferred GPU to the dedicated one in 3D settings. However, there might be thermal throttling; this occurs before the power balancing features introduced with RTX 3000 laptops, which allow the GPU to run at nearly full power. I suspect the CPU frequency is decreasing, leading to lower GPU usage.
