I bought my ASUS G615LM in July 2025, and after about 2 months I started facing some weird issues. The laptop would constantly switch between iGPU and dGPU every \~10 seconds, and it would freeze for 1–2 seconds randomly.
I took it to the service center, and they said it was a Windows issue. They tried repairing it using ASUS WinRE, but that didn’t fix it, so they reinstalled Windows completely. That actually solved the issue at the time.
I wasn’t gaming much for a while, but recently I started playing again and now I’m facing another problem.
The game runs **smoothly in Silent mode**, but when I switch to **Performance or Turbo mode**, it feels noticeably less smooth (even though FPS is higher). It’s like micro-stuttering or unstable frametime. I’ve attached a video—please let me know if you can notice it too or if it’s just me.
Things I’ve already tried:
* Reinstalled all drivers (clean install)
* Updated BIOS, Windows, and all drivers
* Reinstalled Armoury Crate
* Checked system health (DISM, etc.)
Nothing seems to fix it.
I contacted the service center again and they just said “it’s a Windows issue” again… which honestly doesn’t make sense to me anymore.
At this point I’m really confused.
**Has anyone faced something similar?**
Could this be:
* Armoury Crate / ASUS software issue?
* Power profile / GPU switching issue?
* Something wrong with Turbo mode?
Any help would be appreciated 🙏
