My Acer Nitro v15, that I bought a few months ago, is underperforming severely. I have tried finding out a few causes and these are the ones I could find: 1.Single channel RAM: even RTX 4050 versions use ddr5 but mine uses a single DDR4 3200 stick. 2. iGPU uses 35+ watts of power during gaming. This should be going to my RTX 5050, that uses barely 45-50 watts.( No I do not have a MUX switch at all I have searched everywhere) Things to note: display panel is routed through iGPU. I cannot disable it. I cannot afford to upgrade to dual channel mode. System Specs: Core i5 13420H RTX5050 8GB 16 GB DDR4 512 GB m.2 NVMe SSD 135W power brick.
