Question I keep getting micro stutters and fps drops

[Valemm]

My laptop has an I9 13th gen and a 3050 gpu, lately almost every game such as cyberpunk or xdefiant I get slight micro stutters and fps drops and I can't figure out why. I'm fairly sure it's not being caused by thermal throttling or anything but I can't figure out why its happening.

top of the line cpu with a low-med gpu?

yea I really should have picked a better laptop that didn't have so many problem

 

[rgd1101]

exact model of the laptop?
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/ssd usage?

What resolution are you playing on ?

Also go into settings/ display/ graphics / turn of GPU accelerated it can cause stutter and hanging.

the exact model of the laptop is the asus vivobook q540vj
both cpu and gpu are typically running around 70 - 80 celcius
ram usage is about 60 to 65 percent usage and ssd is about 5 to 10 percent usage

I typically use 2880x1620 for resolution
also disabling GPU acceleration sadly didn't help

That GPU can't handle that resolution.

Turn down the resolution

1,920 1,080

Or 1920 by 1200

If you haven't already you can turn on Nvidia frame gen tech which drops res manually

Or you can try to keep that resolution

But do a mix of medium and low.

I would have textures medium

Shadows low
Any settings that use reflection low

Keep your anti aliasing at x16 or x87

Basically you want to lower the amount of things the GPU needs to do as the 3050 isn't a power house

wow that a bad laptop. lowend gpu with 3k display

yea I don't really think it was worth the 1300 dollars, at least it was on sale I guess

but it used to run nearly any game at high settings but now any game I play has stuttering no matter how low the graphics are, why would it suddenly be having issues?

update the graphics driver to latest version and make sure dlss is turned on im assuming thats how it worked before something changed i doubt it was at high without dlss turned on

after updating everything and even setting my graphics as low as possible the stuttering/freezing still happens
