Hi @Mats14,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for explaining the issue so clearly. Your Victus 16-r0000 gaming laptop maintains 60 FPS initially, but after about an hour of gaming, FPS drops to 52–54 FPS even though:

• Temps are fine (around 75°C).
• OMEN Gaming Hub is set to max performance.
• Virtual RAM changes didn’t help.

This behavior usually points to GPU/CPU power throttling or resource saturation over time, not thermal throttling. Here are the most common causes and fixes:

Why FPS Drops After 1 Hour

1. Background Processes or Windows Features
2. Power Delivery or VRM Throttling
3. Memory Leak in Game or Driver
4. Dynamic Boost / Optimus Behavior

Fixes to Try

1. Update BIOS & GPU Drivers

• Go to Victus by HP 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-r0000 | HP® Support.
• Install the latest BIOS, chipset, and NVIDIA drivers.
• Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) before reinstalling GPU drivers for a clean setup.

2. Disable Windows Widgets & Background Apps

• Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Widgets → Turn off.
• Disable unnecessary startup apps.

3. Lock GPU Performance Mode

• In OMEN Gaming Hub, set Performance Control to Max.
• In NVIDIA Control Panel, set Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance.

4. Monitor Power Limits

• Use HWinfo64 to check if PL1/PL2 throttling occurs after an hour.
• If yes, undervolting or adjusting power profiles can help.

5. Check for Memory Leaks

• Open Task Manager during gameplay.
• If RAM usage keeps climbing, restart the game or apply patches.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
