Hello forums. I am a new member that just purchased a second hand acer predator triton 500 Pt-515-51. I have gone through many of the forums and have very slightly improved the performance of the laptop. I am however, still unable to come close to the fps I am supposed to be reaching. I am unable to run a playable dolphin emulator. Dolphin runs has lows and highs from 14 fps - 50 fps. Fortnite runs on max settings with lows of 5 fps -35 fps. This latptop when not gaming performs well but when gaming the performance is not there.
Things I have tried:
ThrottleStop redsands profile (slightly helped)
I have gone inside and replaced the thermal paste and am now seeing stable cpu and gpu temps. (The previous owner did not have any thermal paste on the cpu or gpu but thermal paste on other chipsets and when i first bought the laptop at idle i would see around 70 degrees celcius. IT has not stableized at around 34 degrees celius always even when overclocking.
I tried fresh reinstall of windows.
One other issue I noticed when I purchased the laptop was that the predator sense application was not installed and the model name listed under Acer Case was PT-515-51.
Bios V.1.13
RTX 2060 NVidia Driver version: 456.38
(2)8gb sticks = 16gb ram. Ram was swapped with brand new 8 sticks to see if that was the issue but performance was the same.
I have tried going into nvidia settings and putting maximum performance preferred as well as switching programs to the NVidia gpu and same performance.
I will gladly accept any help that comes my way from experienced predator users or people with similar issues.
