I have an acer predator helios 300 with:

NVIDIA 3060

Intel i7-11800h

16gb ram 3200 Mhz

but its running games way worse than it should.

For example, in the shooting range of paladins (yes) I am dropping to 130 fps despite the fact that I shouldn't be dropping anywhere near that amount compared to my friends with WEAKER HARDWARE.

In team fortress 2 as well, im dropping to 80 fps despite that game being 12 years old and having plenty strong hardware to keep above 144.

For things I have tried:

gone to graphics settings on windows settings and changing applications to force discrete gpu

gone into nvidia control panel and changed it to prefer maximum performance and to use dedicated gpu

checked predatorsense for a MUX switch and running on turbo mode.

please help

also I changed battery to high performance and I'm plugged in.
