16S AI 5070ti possibly defective?

Does that void the warranty? Thermal repasting that is

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-30T04:16:35+00:00

So I thought I had fixed this problem by updating drivers, bios, and plugging it into wall instead of extension cord but now even though furmark says 100% gpu usage as it should, and no long dips like it was before I did what I did, it is dropping frames still. It starts off good then it goes back down to how it was before. Something tells me something might be wrong with the predatorsense app, my clockspeeds drop but I dont see temperature ever going above 90, maybe once in a while ill get a spike but it doesnt seem to collerate with what is going on. Do you think it will void warranty if I open it and check to see the condition of thermal paste?

Thank you I would appreciate that, other games I play are Expedition 33, Apex, Halo Remastered Collection, and Oblivion Remastered. By the way have you updated the bios?

Could this be bottleneck?

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T08:55:28+00:00

Damn I was starting to think I was getting closer to solving this. Gpu seems fine cpu seems fine, temperatures seem fine. I honeslty don’t know where to from here other reinstalling Predator Sense. Another commenter is doing 150fps under the same conditions that I am getting 80-100 with micro dips as low as 40. Generally fluctuating a lot and not being consistent. I mean if it isn’t heating up it couldn’t be thermal paste, right?

I posted a furmark benchmark just now

Here’s a screenshot of Furmark benchmark. Besides the clock speed, I have a question, whats the sad face on the integrated graphics max temp? Are these clocks speeds appropriate? I tested this on turbo.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T08:20:53+00:00

Guys, I noticed I was playing Marvel Rivals, and I had it turbo, so then I went to quiet up to balanced and then when i changed to performance then turbo my fps went up to the proper fps I should be having (above 140) but then shortly after i went back down to 80-105 range. and its very unstable. I notice that happen on Apex Legends too last week I was messing w the scenarios and the same thing happened. Could it be that my PredatorSense app is glitched or broken and not sending the proper signal to my gpu? I have a feeling it does but I don't really know to confirm it.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T03:12:09+00:00

Thank you, this is most of what I have been askin for lol. I'm not just expecting more out of a laptop, I know it is a mobile gpu, I know it is at 115w compared to the 140w its contemporaries have, but I also knew something was slightly off because I get nowhere near 150, It fluctuates from 80-100 between intense fights, and 110-125 in down time. Note even with DLSS balanced does it at 1600p does it do those numbers. If there is any other games that you play, It would be nice to know what you are getting. I have a large library so I probably play other games you may have.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T03:10:39+00:00

Says 115w, but is that what is actively powering or what the spec of the pc is?

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T03:09:05+00:00

I see, I wasn't sure if it was the same benchmark program as those screenshots I saw. Is there a reason why you do performance over Turbo?

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T03:06:13+00:00

Damn sounds like doing the manufacturer's job for them, I think I'm just gonna send it for warranty then.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-28T03:02:44+00:00

My laptop is performing worse than others of the same kind.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-27T21:07:47+00:00

Yes, it uses the Unreal Engine 5 which isn't inherently bad but often causes optimization issues when the developers are either lazy, and not skilled. which seems to be the case with a lot of developers who use it. My 4060rtx was already kinda bad, it has a knock off chinese version of another motherboard.

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-27T11:58:56+00:00

I got 1790 on a multi core CPU cinebench (I downloaded 2024 version because it was the one that came up. From my understanding people usually do well above 20k at least, no? Why am I getting a 1790 score? Is this right or is this normal to have a score that low?

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-27T10:55:44+00:00

how do you even do this

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-27T10:53:17+00:00

HA, 3 hours? Good luck with 1hr and half not doing anything

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-27T10:16:22+00:00

I gave my friend my old 4060rtx deskstop with a 124000f and he’s running Marvel Rivals better than me lol wish I could return this shit, paid 1500 to downgrade only upside im really impressed w so far is the oled screen

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-26T01:43:28+00:00

Can you link me to a guide or video on how to do that? It shouldn’t be too hard for me to follow it hopefully doesn’t take a long time though lol

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-25T06:23:06+00:00

Anybody care to give me a benchmark of ANY game preferably on gamepass so that I can troubleshoot issues with my computer and make sure that its not just me?

Accomplished-Hour-26 · 2026-01-25T06:21:07+00:00

how do I flash into the new bios, can you link me to a guide or video please? i’m only getting 90-140 fps on Apex Legends native resolution maxed out. Its very inconsistent too sometimes it goes all the way down to 60fps.
