Yo people,
i recently got a new notebook. The specs are more than sufficient for my area of application.
gtx1660ti // 16gb RAM // i7 9th gen etc etc
I use the notebook for 95% of the work, that's all tutti. Only now and then when I have some time I start a game. At the moment WoW classic.
if that is the case the graphics card goes off like a pig. 100% utilization. CPU utilization is around 70%. Temperatures are ok. Iwo around 70 degrees only the fan runs as if the laptop wanted to take off straight away. And there's a blow of heat because you can switch off the heating in the room plus the keyboard becomes noticeably warm to sometimes even very warm.
WoW which I initially focused on ultra, where I thought that there was really no topic for the specs, I have meanwhile put it on a good-looking average. I also always see how the fps get higher and higher are now somewhere between 150 - 160 fps according to the nvidia display. But the laptop still doesn't calm down. Utilization graka and cpu as described above. Fans still just snap out completely…
everything is running smoothly and lag-free loading times are lightning fast there's nothing to complain about
any ideas why the laptop is struggling so hard to play a game like wow classic?
Put the settings back up and do vsync because you don't have as much load at WOW as 30Fps
It's logical.
If you play without an FPS limit, the graphics card will of course work hard. After all, your computer is trying to get the highest possible frame rate.
You can limit the frame rate.
But why such an expensive graphics card if you don't want to use it properly?
How can I limit the frame rate via vsync in the game settings?
I use the graphics card but just not that much to gamble
Will be tested immediately afterwards
Depends on the game.
If there's no integrated frame rate limiter, you can use Nvidia inspector or Riva Tuner statistics server (also included with may afterburner).
Vsync is of course also possible, in principle it is also a frame rate limit.
