Rog Strix G18 Laptop, Intense game stuttering despite high FPS and Screen tearing

Willsbam
Level 8

To preface this, I have gone to ASUS support several times over and they have been unable to help me, I have done every single option bar reinstalling windows. I am a college student, so I unfortunately can't afford to send this in to be serviced if I have no idea if it's actually going to be fixed.

When I first got this laptop it was fine, however I quickly noticed that games will begin to stutter no matter what kind of graphics they have if I boot up the game I second time. While it does seem to get more frequent between the level of graphics, it's always there, as between Terraria and Warthunder I got the same stuttering effect. 

I've also found that whenever I'm playing a game and try to tab out, my screen will 70% start tearing and destroying itself, making it impossible to navigate and use the second monitor I have. I have noticed that plugging in the monitor makes the screen tearing more frequent. 

 

I've tried:
Restarting

Hard Restarting(Whatever holding down the power button for a while is called)
Updating NVIDIA Graphics Drivers to latest

Installing Recommended NVIDIA Graphics
Turning on VSYNC

Turning off Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling

Making a manual profile and cranking all the settings up that way

Turning off my USB adapters through device manager(Idk one guy on another forum  said it worked :p)


I am at my last limbs and I just want to be able to relax and play games on the laptop I bought to play games and do schoolwork on.

Your entirely right, it didn't even notice how high the CPU was, I keep on focusing on GPU because in my head Graphics Problem = GPU Problem. I unfortunately can't send it in until winter break, but thank you for the advice.
