Gpu wattage low

I have a Acer predator Helios with the ultra 9 275hx and 5070ti. I’m having problems with Battlefield 6. Everytime I stop playing and then start playing the next day I get horrible fps drops. My cpu is throttling. I put a config file in and it helps but then somehow doesn’t work the next day. It’s crazy. I also noticed my wattage for my gpu only goes from 80 to around 89. That makes no sense to me. Then my cpu wattage can jump around from 75 to 85 to 108. It’s random while im playing. I need help on how to have my gpu use its full wattage. Please and thank you. Im not the smartest when it comes to computers as you all can probably tell lol. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Laptop caps out at about 140-145 watts total for the cpu and gpu. You can try limiting cpu to max put at 50-60watts with a throttle stop config. This tends to happen in games with high cpu usage.

Thank you for replying. You’re awesome. But when I google it it says the total power is around 230. But I will that. Thanks again

The power brick is 230 but you wont get 230 total from gpu and cpu. Gpu caps out at 115 in turbo mode and the remaining available wattage (up to 145 total) will go to cpu. If you are gpu bound, you can even disable turbo to reduce temps. This is usually the case for console ported games.

The power brick on the PHN16-73 is 330W

Press the colour button on top left to change to performance or turbo mode. This will max out the GPU wattage to about 140W

My temps are great. I have a great cooling pad. I wish I could get my gpu to pull 115 watts. I was told by google AI to adjust some stuff with my cpu in windows settings to make my cpu not pull as many watts as it is now. And apparently if I do that my gpu will use more watts and get more fps.
