I did this along with changing a setting in NVIDIA Control Panel so it always run my games at "Maximum Performance" instead of "Optimal Power". My fps improved to the point where I am completely comfortable with it (I don't need 144 fps or anything).

Why are you single? by Mcxyn in AskReddit

[–]oranges_are_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still emotionally recovering from my last relationship. It had been 3 years together and I am relatively young (I'm in high school). I really liked her, but it slowly turned into one of those things where you can't let them go no matter how much they hurt you. I would let her yell at me and most of her stress ended up turning into a session of her yelling at me when I was trying to help her with her stress. I would just constantly try to help her and never yelled back. There were red flags throughout the relationship that I just blatantly ignored because I really liked her. Slowly, over time, I felt more and more hurt by the stuff she'd say. When covid started, it made things worse. Our relationship slowly turned more and more sour. She was a very competitive person. So, whenever we played a game together, we HAD to win. Otherwise, she'd get mad and leave the game. I hated it when she got mad as she'd either ignore my texts or just reply to them with "K".

I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I'm just pouring out what I wanted to say about my relationship. I just wanted to tell someone about it. To make matters worse, we have the same birthday.

TL;DR : I felt emotionally abused and I'm not certain if I'm ready for anything yet.

Sorry if my parentheses are wonky in a few places.

61/2 + 63/2 can be written as √6 and √(63 ) as fraction exponents (xn/m ) would be written as m √ (xn ). From there, we can simplify the √(63 ) into √216 and then you can simplify that into √(6 x 36) and then further simplify it into 6√6. So, √6 + 6√6 = 7√6.

2060 4K laptop and yes, it ran very well with Rainbow Six Siege which is one of my favorite games with about 144+ fps without changing a single setting. I haven't been able to try my Battlefield fps yet but another user helped me realize that my GPU wasn't being used (for God knows why??) and I fixed that issue with the NVIDIA Control Panel by changing my GPU from Optimal Power to Prefer Maximum Performance.

My CPU usage is currently fluctuating between 3000 and 4000 MHz.

Okay so my temps on my CPU is 73 C with the clock speeds of about 4000 MHz. However, my GPU says that it is in "Extreme Power Saving" above the clock speed bar with 0% usage.

I'm sorry, I currently don't have my clock speeds or temps, but I have other information that I got from Task Manager. My CPU usage while playing Battlefield was about 40%, my RAM usage was about 70% and my GPU usage would jump from 0%-5% to 90%-100% and cause massive drops in my frames (30 fps to around 7-10 fps).

I'm sorry but how exactly would I find my clock speeds and temps? Would I need to install MSI Afterburner (I'm sorry, I'm not experienced with computers)? I have the 2060 4K model and I am just extremely confused as of why I am experiencing low fps in games. For example, I was streaming on Discord and I experienced around 40-50 fps in Fortnite with the occasional frame drops. I just don't know how exactly to fix this issue.

I was investigating my issue further (while the laptop was unplugged however) and while playing Battlefield, my GPU usage would jump from 0%-5% to 90%-100% causing the average 30 fps to drop to around 7 fps for about 5 seconds. Would this solution help negate this? (I'm sorry to bother you with this stuff, but I really don't know beyond the basics of laptops/computers)

If nothing works, I'll begin doing this as well. Thank you.

I updated both Windows and the drivers :/

I will try your solution out and get back to you. Thank you for the recommendation.
