Question I'm lagging in games but my gpu isn't fully working.

[CDplayer1-2]

So I'm playing a game right now and I'm lagging a little bit. I'd usually be fine with that but no matter how low I put the setting it keeps lagging. When I check my gpu utilization, it's never at 100% or even close to it. When I'm on low setting it decides it's not worth it's time and is at about 20% utilization which makes me lag. Can anyone help? I'm running a strix g15 with a 3050 and AN Ryzen 7 4800h. In this case it's hogwarts legacy im trying to play. And I'm running about 45fps and every minute or so I get a decent sized lag spike. I've changed every visual setting, v-sync, windowed and full-screen, and dlss/amd fsr.

Thank you

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

How much of a "lag"? Quantify.

What games are you playing? Source?

What settings have you changed?

Your GPU not reaching full utilization suggests a CPU bottleneck, power limits, or background processes affecting performance. Try updating your GPU drivers and setting your laptop to high-performance mode in power settings. In NVIDIA Control Panel, force "Prefer maximum performance" for the game. Also, check for background apps using resources and disable unnecessary ones. If issues persist, lowering CPU-intensive settings like draw distance may help.

Will try that. Thank you.

This so looks like an AI generated comment that I asked Google "why is my GPU not reaching full utilization" and got the same answer almost word for word.

AI models make their answers from forums like this one. If people (or bots) start filling up forums with AI generated answers I let you imagine what is going to happen. Hint: they feed the models with their own answers.
