I've shared my system details with you. My setup includes an RTX 2070 graphics card, an Intel i7-10875H processor running at 2.30GHz, and 16GB of RAM. I contacted ASUS support last week to address a GPU fan vibration issue, aiming to have the laptop ready by the weekend. After returning, the gaming performance dropped noticeably—frames fell from 70 to 40 FPS, with pauses of 2 to 3 seconds during games like Warhammer Vermintide2. The task manager showed low CPU usage (<40%) and GPU activity resembling an ECG pattern. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'd monitor temperatures to determine if thermal throttling occurs, which might indicate improper replacement of thermal paste or pads.
Troubleshooting hardware problems, particularly with laptops, can be challenging. A reliable method to test computer performance is using FurMark. https://www.geeks3d.com/tag/cpu-burner/ This tool applies stress to the system, helping you detect overheating or throttling issues. While automatic updates from Nvidia are convenient, they sometimes have errors. To verify your setup, open "Resource Monitor," launch FurMark, and run both CPU and GPU burners at your display’s resolution. Check if fans operate normally, if the system handles load without dropping frames or crashing. If results are stable, a mismatched graphics card or software might be the cause. Clearing the GPU drivers and reinstalling them could resolve the issue. If problems persist, document the findings and reach out to ASUS support, mentioning the GPU isn’t working correctly. As Shzzit noted, a faulty installation of the card itself could also be responsible.
