Hi guys,

 

So I have a laptop with the model in the title that has an 8250u, Gtx 1050 4gb and 8gb RAM. Problem with the CPU arrives under heavy gaming loads and is as such: in BFV after a while the CPU hits a power limit throttle when a lot of things are going on in game and its frequently spiking load on CPU according to BFV graph tool which makes the game a horrible stutter and unplayable although I surpass minimum reqs easily. When the CPU limits itself the game stutters briefly sometimes game freezes even for a few seconds. Even setting the video settings to low did not help because the GPU starts throwing higher FPS at the CPU and the CPU causes stutter again. Now the problem is as such, if I am correct the GTX 1050 draws up to 75 watts at full load and the CPU draws up to 44W, thats 119W only for these 2 and the PSU is 120W... Lowering CPU watts is of no use in this situation as the game is CPU intensive so downgrading CPU bottlenecks it and makes it a stuttering mess yet again.

 

Any advices on how to treat the situation above to get the full performance out of the hardware?

Thank you very much for the help in advance!

Situation update, it always power limit throttles even in syntethic stress tests, Intel XTU PLT's in about 30 seconds. Underwatting is useless, undervolting is useless. Throttlestop program is useless. 

Any help greatly appreciated.
