Hi,

Since yesterday, my GPU is underperforming. I have half of my fps in my games (used to play with 144fps on a lot of games like Valorant and Fortnite but now I have like 70). I did a lot of benchmarks to be sure that it was the GPU and not something else but now I'm positive that this is the problem. I've tried a lot of things, changing the power plan, and updating the drivers, I even did a fresh install of windows but the problem is the same. I'm thinking that the battery for some reason is putting a limitation on the GPU but I can't be certain. Using GPU-Z I saw that my GPU is on 20w but I'm not sure if that is good info. I don't have any cooling or temp issues, the temps seem like normal.

 

Any thoughts?
