Question Is my Laptop Affected ?

I got a laptop with RTX 3050, been playing games on it nearly everyday since july this year. Then I got to known about NVIDIA App yesterday and it had Automatic Tuning option in it and I wanted to try it on my laptop. Hence, before I used it, I contacted an NVIDIA consumer care guy on online chat. He seemed to be a guy with adequate knowledge about that.

He told me its safe to use, so I tried it. After I tried it, I saw a boost in FPS, but I wanted to compare it with with original stock clocks as it overclocked my laptop GPU by 102 MHz. Then I restored it and tried to play the same game. I saw only a difference of like 3-5 FPS. So I thought its of no use.

But all of this happened in a time frame of like 1-2 Hrs, and now a different game that hasn't lagged anytime, started lagging on menu. I tried clean installation of the driver, but still no luck. Plus after all this [vulgarity redacted], I also tried running 3dMark bench on my laptop, through which I saw my graphics score had increased, but my CPU score had decreased. [redacted]..... I dont understand this.

Is my GPU cooked ? Does anyone else have the same specs and has tried it. My GPU has a 75W TDP, if anyone has the same specs, kindly provide me with a reference FPS so that it can help me identify whether there is a problem or not.

You might want to mention the make, model and SKU for your laptop. What BIOS version are you on for your laptop?

Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) from your laptop in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Thank you so much for replying.
My laptop is HP Victus 15 fa0555tx.
The BIOS version installed is the latest on the website i.e. F.29.Rev.A

Also, I had clean installed all the drivers related to display.
