    My CPU is loaded to 100 in games like Overwatch 2 and Battlefield 1. Laptop hp-15dw3000 (i5 1135g7)

    What fps does the menu run at if you cap the game to 30?

    You said all of the usage is coming from the game. Once the system detects the 100% load, it starts to down clock itself to prevent overheating. Perhaps the CPU/igpu doesn't need to work as hard between matches or sections of the map.

    Well what you described sounds like a temp issue. Between the CPU and the iGPU, there is a lot of heat being generated in one place on a laptop that wasn't designed to dissipate a lot of heat. You're playing a game on a laptop that wasn't designed to handle the heat generated from playing games.

    Maybe temps CPU runs hot, downclocks itself, CPU usage spikes due to the slower speed and you see the framerate drops. That model laptop probably wasn't design to dissipate all the heat from gaming. Try capping the FPS to 30. Blizzard Support - Framerate Capped in Overwatch (battle.net)

    AMD Announced as Starfield's Exclusive Partner on PC

    It's whatever. FSR 2.x still works on Nvidia GPUs. This won't hurt me much at the high end.

    All of the settings stay the same. You will just change the resolution.

    Same 4090 but I use slower ram and a different CPU. When I run my GPU stock, I now get a little over 10k with the new driver. So I don't think it's crazy to see a 200-point difference between your stock run and mine.

    Your GPUz screenshot appears to show a stock card. I had to pump mines +170 on the core and +1200 on the memory to get over 10K. Would the CPU make such a difference? I'm currently using 64GB CL30 Gskill kit Disregard my last post, My old run was with an old driver. With a newer driver I get...

    I have purchased 2 4090s, 2 3080s and 2 3090 for friends at MSRP. You may not be trying hard enough.

    Nah, I expect more posts in here when GPUs worthy of benching appear in 10 days.
