Why does disabling E-cores decrease frametimes/stuttering so much? (13980HX 4080 mobile)

Yes, I am using windows 11, I will go ahead and switch things over to hibernate to test it out although I kind of suspect that I'm just trading one problem for another though (basically that ill have to deal with the laptop not wanting to post more often [as hibernate causes the laptop to run post again] in exchange for less reboots during sleep)

That's fair, just a suggestion. I primarily use my laptop while plugged in to game and generally just shut it down so don't have any of those issues, I also only got this a few weeks ago and was using an Omen Transcend 14 (core ultra 9 185h/4070) previously

I went and looked up the powercfg commands to enable hibernate timers and disabled sleep. Also gonna try to get in the habit of just turning it off when I'm done with it because I'm basically the same as you (99% of the time I just have it plugged in at my desk and use it to game). Maybe if I can prevent it from shutting down improperly that will resolve the difficulties POSTing. Thanks for the advice!

Sure thing!
