Hi there guys I have a problem with my laptop performance. I have it for around 2 years and it allways worked slower then it should. And now I have huge lag spikes playing games like GTA V even on medium settings. I have latest drivers installed and did reinstal windows like 4 months ago. And dont know what else to do any solutions ?
Here is my laptop spec and task manager info doing nothing just open google chrome:

might be thermal throttle under load or ram capping , try first -100mv undervolt with xtu and check under "xtu stress test that if your temperature throttling"

If your not then open ctrl+alt+del and go to task manager performance tab, play a game and when you see fps lag alt+tab to your task manager and see if your hitting near 90% ram usage+

I setted undervoltage to -100 and started a gpu stress test with normal fan speed it was around 63-66℃ and with fans at 100% it was allways around 60℃. And without stress test temperature stays around 43-45℃. And for my memory usage it stays around 86%+ around 4000mb using

The undervolt Is for cpu not gpu that Is what you want To stress test.

Also your hitting ram limit try closing discord and browsers etc and delete useless programs. Get cleaner. If that doesnt help upgrade To 16gb In dual channel.
