Acer Predator PH315-51 - Frames dropping on laptop when charging exceeds 40%

Laptop model is ph315-51, the title says all. I've tried everything except reinstalling windows. The power options are on ultimate performance, graphic drivers and windows are all updated.

LilASAPsg first of all you should never ever play on battery neither when the laptop its charging you should alwasy be on AC and teh battery charged 100% before you start any game the battery main purpose its to help the adapter when this on cannot provide enough power to the cpu/gpu also you should always play on performance mode not balanced the battery should only be used for emergencies when you dont have a socket near and only really light works and bare in mind the battery will not discharge while gaming unless you have too many devices draining power from the usb ports if this is the case i suggest you to get a good self powered usb hub i recommend Anker and when the battery hits 40% or under you should stop immediately because the charger will kick in to charge the battery and cannot provide power to both tasks at the same time you should wait for the battery to recharge to 100% and only after continue playing also you should check you battery report for any significant wear

The frames are dropping when the laptop is plugged in and at a 100% charge only time they're not dropping is when the laptop battery is less than 40% and its charging. I've tried all possible power options i could think of, I've undervolted my cpu, overclocked the gpu and all the necessary bs. I don't play games on battery and even if the battery has reached 100% charge the frame drops are like crazy. In overwatch the frames drop from 120-30 every 5 seconds, same for fortnite, pubg and other games.
