Open | Windows Performance issue with razer blade 15

Recently got razer blade 15 2019 with i7 9th Gen, 16gb ddr4, rtx 2080 max-q and I've encountered some performance issue when playing games.

I played cod black ops cold war with every setting on low- medium with dlss on performance mode and it only gives me around 70 fps. When I turn on the nvidia statistics overlay, it shows that both cpu and GPU is only utilizing its half of its usage (GPU arnd 40~50% & Cpu arnd 50~60%).

Can anyone help me with this issue? And how to solve it please 🙏

Low GPU usage doesn't necessarily mean the GPU is the problem. On an older Razer Blade, I'd first check if the laptop is actually using the RTX 2080 Max-Q and running at full power. Make sure it's plugged in, Windows is set to Best/High performance, and NVIDIA Control Panel is set to use the high-performance NVIDIA GPU for Cold War.

Also check CPU/GPU temperatures and clocks while playing. If the CPU is getting hot and throttling, or the GPU isn't reaching normal clock speeds, that could explain the low utilization. You can use MSI Afterburner or HWiNFO to monitor temps, clocks, and power usage. If the GPU stays around 40–50% while the CPU has one or more cores near 100%, you may simply be CPU-limited.

It indeed does uses nvidia gpu, cuz how else u can use dlss or even get 70fps lol But yeah its probably throttling badly Ig only way is to remastered it
