Running Forza at 2GHz shows strong performance.
Running Forza at 2GHz shows strong performance.
It seems the CPU might be a mobile model since there aren't enough details shared. Forza Horizon games are quite demanding on the CPU, which could mean your processor struggles with turbo boost because of power and heat constraints. If this is true, there aren't many options left.
It seems your CPU behaves when idle, similar to running emulators or VN-style games. The GPU also struggles, maintaining around 400-800 MHz and hitting utilization limits constantly. It looks like Forza isn't too taxing, so your hardware is conserving power since it's only lightly used. I didn’t notice this before—could be thermal throttling in a laptop.
