Really bad performance on Predator Gaming Laptop PH317-51

Hello! I've had this this PH317-51 gaming laptop since May 2018 and only recently have I noticed on some games where my specs are good enough to at least low even medium, struggle in terms of performance. For example, just started playing Outer Worlds via Xbox Game Pass and checked multiple sites and have confirmed that my specs should allow me to run it without a problem on at least low. Yet, in game I can barely move with these FPS drops on LOW settings and Motion Blur turned off. I've already looked at many articles on how to improve game performance but none of these things have helped me thus far. I was wondering whether anyone here has a similar model/specs and can tell me what I can do to overcome this issue. Thank you!

Specs:

CPU: Intel i5-7300HQ

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti

RAM: 16GB

1920x1080 resolution

Good afternoon szmonoloza !

Starting with the basics, are you following these settings?

1- all drivers and windows must be properly updated
2- the device must be set to use the high performance power plan of Windows
3- the battery must be charged 100% before playing
4- Battery should be set to advanced power options for maximum performance.
5- Game applications must be set in dedicated GPU Painel (Nvidia) to be the main
6- The appliance must be connected directly to a properly grounded power outlet without any power adapter.

Bottleneck seems to be your processor and nvidia card. Try reducing resolution from 1980x1080 to 1600x900 and see if that helps.
