Why is my Acer Nitro AN515-57 GPU suddenly underperforming.

I've had the laptop for a few months and it was performing amazingly up until recently. I booted up GTA5 one day and noticed that the fps was terrible, it was averaging around 15 fps, when usually it is at around 100 fps. I tried lowering the graphics to the lowest settings, and received only 20 fps. I decided I would play another game that wasn't so terrible, but that's when I found out my fps was terrible across all the games I tried. I ran a benchmark in userbenchmark, and it told me that the GPU was only utilizing 13% of its potential, and that it was in the 0th percentile.

    Also I forgot to mention, I did a clean installation of my GPU drivers and STILL no improvements.

    @Leostat GPU 1 is my RTX 3050ti. Luckily I was able to solve my problem another way. Apparently the latest nvidia gameready driver had something seriously messed up with it, downgraded to another driver and everything went back to normal.
