Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000 (2V8Z4AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hi. I bought a brand new Victus 16 a couple weeks ago, downloaded Steam and began playing a game (Final Fantasy XV) which performed well on average settings the first couple of instances I booted it up. I then noticed the next time I opened the game the fps dramatically decreased from over 70fps to around 15-20fps, even changing all graphical settings to the lowest made no difference. It now seems to do this most of the time, only on odd occasions does it perform like it used to. I then downloaded a less graphically demanding game (Abzu) to see if this problem carried over. It did, with it reaching around 20fps. Considering this gaming laptop has an AMD Ryzen 5600H with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, I know that it should be able to handle these games at higher framerates. Can anybody help with this problem?

 

Update: I just discovered this low FPS only occurs when the laptop is not charging (which is most of the time). When unplugged, even if it's not on battery saving mode, it will revert back to these low framerates. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks.
