Nitro Sense in nitro 5 model: AN515-55-53E5 Discrete GPU is idle issue

araav

My nitro sense tells me that my GPU is in discrete idle mode, even when I play a high-end game like Destiny 2. Now when it is idling while I'm playing these games my temperature for the CPU goes up to like 90 degrees and I can't even see the GPU's temp because it is idle when I'm playing these games the fans are going both at 3500 RPM. when I restart my computer, I can see the GPU isn't idle anymore and when I'm playing those high-end games the fans go up to 4600 rpm and lower temps. Now I'm kinda worried because it goes idle from time to time and the fans are not going max speed to cool it down only when I restart the laptop, Has anyone got any answers? I uninstalled Nitrosense and reinstalled it back that didn't work, i changed the Nvidia settings to use the GPU as well so now I don't know my last resort is to get it checked by a technician.

I'm using RTX 3050

ram: 24 GB

MSI Afterburner is likely causing interference. Uninstall MSI Afterburner completely, along with all its files and settings. (You can use the NVIDIA Control Panel overlay to check temperatures.) Now, turn off fast startup, restart your laptop, and check.

Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall your Nvidia GPU driver, then reinstall the latest version of the Nvidia Control Panel.
