Low GPU usage Asus ROG Strix G16

Two days ago arrived my asus rog strix g16 with i7 13650hx and GeForce RTX 4060, 16Gb RAM.  My problem is frequent stuttering in games that make it impossible to play them ( also when just surfing the internet ). I tested Dota 2 | CS 2 | Dark Souls 3 | Dying Light | Overwatch 2 and in most games, I have low GPU usage (30-50 %), which probably makes this stutter. But what’s strange is that in some games it's good, for example, CS 2 (50-80% usage) and Overwatch (70-99%), but stuttering still remains, below are screenshots from these games.

I have the latest drivers for GPU ( reinstalling and downloading manually did not help )
Windows, MyAsus, Armoury Cate are fully updated
Display Mode Nvidia GPU only

How to fix it, Any guesses maybe the laptop's defective?Dark Souls 3Dark Souls 3Counter Strike 2Counter Strike 2Overwatch.jpg

I only use Gsync becouse if i you enable Vsync it will cap your fps for the game at your max monitor refresh rate for example if you play CS and you enable Vsync you will not have 260 fps like in the photo that you upload instead you will have 165 = max monitor refresh rate and this 165 fps is = to bigger input latency so its better to not used it is some case and fps game like CS and other whit big FPS 

I only use Gsync becouse it do almost the same whitout locking your max FPS to your monitor max refresh rate this help in my case in warzone sometimes i get 180fps but in some cases whit intense battle's i have drop to 150 and Gsync help me to not have screen shutters whitout cap my fps to 165 =monitor max refresh rate 

Gsync and Vsync only make work if your fps for the games is lower than your max monitor refresh rate so do not use them if you go stable 165+ fps but if you have fps drop under 165fps you can use Gsync or even Gsync+Vsync i use not only Gsync

Some games have micro shuttering becouse of bad game optimization or missing  files sometimes reinstall help for fixing of this problem but dont forget to backup your SAVE GAME

Low latency mode improve the time when you press your mouse how fast your PC will react to your mouse click i use this is again on ultra becouse it improve the latency of the system also if you have this setting in the game enable it at the max available mode 

And just to know if you have this option in the game that you play and enable it that option can lower your FPS but your latency will be better in this case if you FPS i little bit lower in CS but your latency is lower that is the better choice in the end low latency whit 200fps is better than 260fps if you have monitor whit bigger refresh rate the things are different but for your case is not a problem to have 200fps for example whit low latency in FPS game like CS 

This thigs are interesting watch some YouTube videos about them it will help you to understant better latency, FPS,monitor refresh rate ,Gsync and Vsync 

Some games use Gsync+Vsync+Low Latency for best gaming experience

Any luck with this yet? I’m in the same boat. Some games run fantastic where as games like cyberpunk or red dead 2 are getting a good frame rate but suffer from constant micro stuttering/ stutters. Debating on deleting armory crate because I heard it can help stop the stuttering. Rtx 4060/ i7 13650HX

I had this stuttering issue with RDR2, and applying a simple fix I had been able to play RDR2 from start to finish with almost no stuttering except in rare cases.

The simple fix is to go to Armoury Crate (or GHelper), create a power profile for your game and define as a starting point PL1=PL2=65W for your CPU.

You should solve stuttering this way. If it does, then you can increase slowly PL1 and PL2 until stuttering appears again and define then PL1 and PL2 just below that point.

Here is the issue, you have two ways of managing performance on a laptop CPU:

-Limit its TDP to a low value, like I recommend you to test

-Keeping TDP limit high, and let the CPU throttle itself when it reach max temp on one or more cores.

The result is not the same: with low TDP you are limiting your max CPU performance, but since no core can reach max temp they remains all available at all times.

By letting your CPU throttle itself when it reach max temp (97 celcius degrees), you are inducing stuttering because when at least one core reach max temp, then this core will be unavailable for a small time before coming back on again.

So just make the test, i hope it will help.
