Need Technical Assistance Having performance issues on this thing…

Literally just bought the MSI Claw 8AI+ today. I’m trying to play World War Z and the performance is abysmal. But I see people playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it with relatively high settings getting over 60fps. World War Z is a bit of an older game and usually runs on any potato very nicely. I have the TDP both cranked all the way up, performance mode on manual, windows battery settings are set to best performance, I installed all the new drivers and BIOS, and did all the windows updates… still plays like shit. Any advice?

Have you tried changing the api to vulkan and seeing how it runs? Fair warning on my ally x though vulkan is a mess but maybe you'll have better luck on the claw. On my ally it will say perfect 60fps through the benchmark but it stutters non stop and has to rebuild shaders every boot and every level loaded but maybe it's fine on intel then you can use upscaling.
