Hi,
I bought the Lenovo legion y540 laptop with 1660ti 6gb, i5 9300h (undervolted 0.135V) , 8gb ram around 3 months ago and until the day before yesterday it was working fine.
Until the day before yesterday, I could run Red Dead Redemption 2 at 40-50 fps on high settings with cpu at 60-70%, 70-85 degrees celcius and gpu at 90-98%, 60-70 degrees (measured using MSI Afterburner). When I launched RDR2 the day before I was getting normal cpu usage and temps but my gpu was fluctuating from 5% to 98% and I was getting drops from 40-50fps to 12fps every couple of seconds.
I then tried other games live GTAV and Just Cause 4 and was getting similar issues. I tried reinstalling the games but this didn't do anything. After this, I used DDU to roll back my nvidia driver from 446.14 to 445.87 but this didn't improve anything either (So I went back to using 446.14) . I also changed some settings in the power options of the control panel and the nvidia control panel to give maximum performance which helped a bit (gpu usage mostly above 60% but still had dips below). Finally, I did some stress tests on my cpu and gpu (intel XTU and superposition 1080p high respecitvely) and these are the results I got.
The gpu was stable at 98% but the cpu usage was fluctuating (the amount of active cores was also changing so I'm not sure if this was a part of the test).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
