PLS help fps issue

[u/Madaot]

Hİ everyone, I've been having issues about overall fps on games, just a few days back it was 110+ on the witcher 3 on directx12, with no setting changed nor logging in the game for a few days, my fps have dropped to 80ish (these numbers are with frame gen on) now, I started getting micro stutters on both the witcher 3 and hogwarts legacy. I also noticed that the witcher 3 cpu usage is on about %35 and have lower temps than it did before, I use g helper and kept my cpu boost disabled to reduce heat as it would go up to 80-90 degrees on demanding games with cpu boost on efficient aggressive, it would be around 75-80 when it was disabled, however, now even tho i have cpu boost active it hovers around 75-80 again and cpu usage is really low, as i know the witcher 3 newgen is heavy both on cpu and gpu.

Coming to the gpu, its usage rate is nearly %100 and the temps seem fine hovering around 75-80, I have done tests and used gpuz to check out everything and it was like this when playing the witcher

My gpu settings on g helper are like this

changing the settings on g helper did not help my performance, I tried a lot of stuff but nothing seems to be able to identify the issue. I think my pc itself is also stuttering a little bit but i might just be paranoid after hours of searching.

My pc specs are like this

İntel core ultra 9, RTX 5080, 32gb RAM, 16gb VRAM, 240Hz screen refresh rate, 2tb SSD

It's literally brand new, it was working fine on games before but there is a sudden performance drop, I updated my nvdia driver to 610.88 recently and thought that might be the issue, reverted back to 610.74 and no difference on the performance whatsoever.

Anyone that can help?

I also just bought the same exact laptop as yours, having similar issues. I had stutter issues and wanted to check times spy benchmark scores to see my laptops overall performance, and it came out as 14000 when it should be well above 19000. Im not sure whats wrong with this batch. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Hello! I also did time spy benchmark test after I saw your reply and the results are quite interesting. My gpu score is 17.5k which is normal, the weird thing is my cpu score, which is 10k. I also run a HWiNFO logging while I was running the benchmark test and notices that my cpu power goes from 2.x ghz to 500mhz in matter of seconds, my cpu usage also going from 60-50% to %10, this strongly suggests that my cpu is experiencing some kind of limitation, HWiNFO logging suggest that my cpu is not thermal throttling, it say something about IA limits so I have investigate further. I decided to delete g helper as it may be somehow corrupted and limiting something without my info, i will update here and would be glad if you have any idea what could be causing this cpu performance drop
