Hi @PrabhatTechGuru,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

It sounds frustrating to deal with performance issues while gaming. To address the performance issues, micro-stutters, and overheating on your Victus by HP 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop (15-fb0147AX) while playing Cyberpunk,

Step 1: Upgrade RAM

• Cyberpunk 2077 recommends 16GB RAM. You currently have 8GB, which causes stuttering and high frame times due to paging.

Step 2: Manage Overheating with HP OMEN Gaming Hub

Even on Victus, OMEN Gaming Hub manages thermals.

1. Download/Install OMEN Gaming Hub from Microsoft Store.
2. Open it > Go to Performance Control
3. Set to “Performance Mode” or “Cool Mode”.
4. Optionally undervolt the CPU slightly (if available and safe) to reduce heat.

Step 3:  Update BIOS and Drivers (from HP Support Assistant)

HP emphasizes keeping all firmware and drivers up to date.

Steps:

1. Open HP Support Assistant ( HP Support Assistant Link).
2. Click the “Updates” tab.
3. Install all recommended updates, especially:

• BIOS
• Chipset drivers
• Graphics drivers (AMD Radeon/NVIDIA)
• Thermal Management Tools
   

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
