Hey all, I need some help as my laptop is experiencing terrible performance across all games. I'm on an ASUS TUF F15 with an Intel Core i5-13500H, RTX4050, and 32GB DDR4 RAM. Before I was able to run most games with high to ultra settings and still got great performance but now it has been a nosedive.
I updated nearly every driver I can think of. This started some time after I updated my NVIDIA drivers to the newest 596.36 and I now have average 10-30 fps and frequent stutters regardless of the game and its settings. I see on my performance monitor that the GPU is nowhere near close to levels that should affect it but the CPU shows that it is using 90-100%. I reinstalled previous NVIDIA drivers but I didn't find much success.
EDIT: I have also tried a clean reinstall with DDU and then installing another NVIDIA driver but the issue still persists. I did try older versions I was more familiar with and was more stable but I get a message that it is too old and may cause crashes and whatnot.
Its been two whole months since I got time for myself and I just wanna play my games pls help
