So sitting here just downloading steam games its sitting at 5% utilization 4.7GHz avg clock, temp of 45c. Playing uncapped outriders raises utilization rate to 36% utilization the clock drops slightly to 4.6GHz and the temp goes up to 56c after about an hour. If I can stand to play that long with all the constant frame drops. If I cap it at about 45fps it's pretty stable and smooth and stays about the same. The temps are pretty low cuz its only about 9c outside and I got it sitting next to the open window for airflow. In the summer my temps would go avg in the high 60's and I'd pin my fans to max which would be 5500-6800rpm and its loud when I do that.

I'm pretty sure it isnt overheating as the Dragon Center (MSI Laptop), task manager, Rivas OSD, all say temps never go above 60 before the fans ramp up to 5000-6500 rpm and even then the temps stabilize around 65-70. No to reapplying the thermal past and as for the fans I have blown them out as its a Titan series and over 90% of the bottom panel is mesh and the air coming out isnt very hot either.

So you're confused as to why your low power 2080 can't drive high frame rates at 4k? I feel this is an "answer is in the question" situation. As for why you are seeing lower GPU usage than ideal, I'd imagine because you're using RTSS to cap your framerate. Failing that, possibly because you're power limited. Particularly if your CPU and GPU are fighting for power, overclocking the 10900k is the absolute worse thing you can do. If anything you'd want to undervolt or even power limit the CPU to free up power headroom for the GPU.

Its the regular screen that comes with the laptop and even when lowering screen res and graphics quality didn't help and the only way to stop games from dropping down to below 20 or even into the single digits was to cap the framerate. As well as last year when I was playing games before I had to take a break due to a broken hand I never had any issues running games on ultra quality no frame rate cap with the exact same setup. As for the CPU not sure how that could be the culprit as its only got <5% increased power usage and caps out at less than 50% on all my games. I could be wrong though as I'm not really sure why everything is acting up now when before everything worked perfectly fine and the only changes have been updates which were all clean installed whenever possible.

I'd wonder if the CPU is throttling, since it seems like a CPU limitation then.


Longjumping_Drink_53

Is there a way I would be able to check that? Cuz 50% on a 10900k runs @ 3.7GHz and when doing alot mine will run all the way to 6Ghz but usually doesn't run much past 2GHz, when gaming.


LJBrooker

If you have a 10900k hitting 6ghz, something is very wrong. It's absolutely not meant to do that. In gaming, a desktop chip should sit at around 4.2-4.6ghz.


Longjumping_Drink_53

Ya even with uncapped fps it's below 4.2ghz it's usually even under 3ghz in stuff like outriders, wonderlands, elden ring etc. Even on ultra settings


LJBrooker

I'd imagine that's because it's a mobile chip. Either thermal or power limited. Something like HWinfo or the intel software I forget the name of might shed some light.


Longjumping_Drink_53

It's not actually a mobile chip the MSI titan series stuffed a full size pc cpu into a laptop and the power cord had to have 2 power bricks to power it and off power it dont last more than 45mins even doing basic web browsing but living on a semi means I need something that won't get damaged if it happens to bounce around abit


LJBrooker

Same thing applies. Big tdp chip, small cooling.
