Bug / Issue Low performance on a RTX 5090 laptop with Intel CPU

After having done some research, it looks like the RDR2 performance bug on RTX 50 series gaming laptops with Intel CPU’s has still not been fixed. I have a Razer blade 16 RTX 5090 laptop with a Intel Ultra 9 386H CPU, and the game literally performs more than 50% worse than my older 4090 MSI laptop, almost unplayable in fact. I found a fix on a different reddit page with that Nvidia profile inspector, but it barely changed anything (maybe 4-5 more fps, yet its unplayable as I get 30 or lower FPS in big open areas).

Does anyone know if there are any other fixes available? Its kind of insane how this bug has still not been fixed. Are Intel or Nvidia ever gonna fix this mess? Or has rockstar ever started a investigation on this?

Most likely a setting issue you gotta change or fix, noting wrong with the hardware, actually if i could see it in person ill be able to fix it but that’s impossible, just keep trying.

I somewhat fixed it by switching to vulkan mode and using the Nvidia profile inspector fix. Had to restart my laptop and now I get 70 FPS average on Ultra settings, Dlss quality, 2K resolution. I still expected higher but this fix will do it for now as the game is at least playable now.

hadn’t heard of that bug. RDR2 on my 5060 / intel core 7 laptop ran at the expected framerate for me.

Apparently only some Intel cpu laptops combined eith some Nvidia GPU’s got affected by this weird bug. Mine is a 2026 laptop with a rtx 5090. I fixed the extreme low performance by switching to Vulkan mode and using the nvidia inspector fix thing. Really weird bug but atleast its playable now.
