Disappointing FPS During Gaming

Hi everyone,

Recently purchased a 2025 G16 with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285h and GeForce RTX 5080 and was very excited, however the frame rates I’m getting in games without enabling frame generation are abysmal.

With low settings I’m only getting 130 - 140ish fps in Black Ops 7 Multiplayer. Same for Modern Warfare 3. In a Deadzone Rogue I’m also not getting the fps I was expecting.

I’ve configured CPU and GPU settings to be aggressive in GHelper and have Turbo and Ultimate both enabled. Fan curves have also been adjusted to keep the system cool and i have the laptop on a laptop cooling pad set to Max speed. I’ve also adjusted many other system settings… it just seems like the CPU is being throttled.

I know there are some power limits based on the thin nature of the laptop but this seems excessive. With this cpu and gpu combo I expected to at least get 200-220 fps on low settings in a game like Black Ops 7 right out of the box.

Has anyone experienced this same thing with this hardware setup or similar on Black Ops 7 (or a similar first-person shooter) as well, and any success resolving?
