Hi, I own an Asus Strix GL503 with an i7 8100 and a GTX 1050 Ti. I am having really low frame rates in games (about 80-90 FPS on Valorant at low settings). I'm running in performance power mode and have picked the right GPU for each game. I've tried many solutions but still can't fix it. Can you help me? Also, there is no overheating problem.

Max temps are 60 or 70 for both the CPU and GPU, which is already about right. I changed some thermal paste a while ago too. When I open Task Manager while playing games, the CPU uses only 40% and the GPU hits 100%. I checked for viruses and found nothing there.
