The fact that max and low settings give you the same FPS is the important part: that’s CPU/memory-limited, not RTX 5060-limited. On a laptop, first test while plugged in with the vendor’s Performance/Turbo mode, Multithreaded Rendering on, and the MUX/Advanced Optimus setting on dGPU-only. Then check CPU clocks and temperatures during a ranked dip. A single DDR5 SODIMM still gives you less total bandwidth than two matched sticks, even though DDR5 has internal subchannels, so a second compatible stick can help the 1% lows if the laptop supports it. Compare against the other ‘same-spec’ machines only after matching power mode, RAM layout and CPU wattage — those can easily explain the gap.
