GTX 1050
Intel i5-7300HQ
32 GB memory
I have been trying to troubleshoot my issues with performance in games like rust, and I have pinpointed exactly the problem, at least I hope so. I've been using throttlestop and working with the devs of the program to figure out what was wrong, but it turns out it wasn't my CPU, it was my GPU power throttling. I will leave a log as an example of me using rust to show what I am talking about. My GPU voltage in IGPU-Z program was showing that when my GPU would hit 1.0250V, it would kill itself and clock downward and also lower my GPU usage to a staggering 20% and lower the voltage as well. Note that when the GPU is at 1.0250V the game runs super smoothly, like around 120FPS on all low settings, but then would drop down to the 40 range when my GPU power throttles.
I can include a video to show exactly what happens, as well as the log to iGPU-Z to show the statistics. I am just posting this to see if anyone has any idea on how to deal with this problem or any workarounds to have a stable performance. The log can be found here. The video showcasing the volatile FPS is this. I know that most dell laptop gpus are voltage locked, but I was just hoping there is something to fix this issue. Thank you to anyone that takes the time out of their day for me!
