Predator Helios 300 GPU Throttling in games
I recently purchased a new Predator Helios 300 (8th gen model) and lately while playing some games (mainly Destiny 2, although it sometimes happens in Rainbow Six Siege as well, these are the only games I have been playing on the laptop so far so I don't know if it would happen in others), my GPU has been underclocking itself down to around 100mhz (down from ~1800mhz generally), and then slowly climbing back up to its original speed over around 30 seconds. I'm pretty sure the issue isn't related to temperatures, as my GPU temperatures almost never exceed 75c (although my CPU does get relatively hot, I am getting a cooling pad to hopefully prevent this), and the throttling happens at seemingly random temperatures. It happens seemingly randomly, as sometimes it will go an hour or so without happening and sometimes it happens once every few minutes. I have tried a few things to fix it, such as setting the power management mode in the Nvidia control panel to 'prefer maximum performance'', as well as disabling Battery Boost in Geforce Experience. I have also adjusted some power plan settings in Windows, such as setting the Maximum Processor State to 99% while on battery and plugged in (not sure if this would do anything, I just saw it in a video about fixing an issue similar to mine). I might have also disabled Link State Power Management for my PCI Express, although I think this was already turned off, I disabled it if it wasn't.
