Low Fps after long break from season 7
I started playing the Finals again after an almost 2 month break and I've been experiencing low fps (30-45) 20-30% GPU utilization today.
I was able to play the game properly back in season 6 with a constant 60-70 fps with 99% GPU utilization rate on low-mid settings. I can see that my CPU render is on the yellow (20.4 ms) which Idk what it really means other than maybe my CPU is bottlenecking?
I've tried most optimization methods such as ff:
- Lower settings in game (same settings as my season 6 run)
- Updated NVIDIA drivers (RTX 3060), AMD Drivers (AMD Ryzen 5800H Laptop) and Windows updates.
- I also debloated my windows tweak thing
- unchecked everything that can affect my fps in windows settings (core isolation and game bar)
- Laptop is always plugged on with my charger
- Ultimate Performance Mode
I tried most of the common fixes but still am hitting the low 30-40s with 30% gpu utilization in game and I can't enjoy the game as I used to. I tried running a different game and it run just fine and I heard my fans go turbo but nothing on when I play the Finals.
Please help me find fixes since I really miss this game.
Note: I'm using my 3rd yr old (2022) Lenovo Legion Ideapad (RTX 3060, AMD 5800h, 16gb ram, always plugged on).
