GPU Possibly Throttling?
Hi Guys, so I downloaded Mafia Definitive Edition..

Running game on all max settings. At start of game my temps and GPU usage is; 99% Uti and 75c Temp

After like 10 minutes playing: I notice a frame drop, my Uti drops a little bit but more importantly my temps go from steady 75-77 to about 60-65. 75 should not cause GPU throttling so I am very confused as to whats happening. My FPS also drops from like 140, to locked 50-60.


Any help would be appreciated.

Are you play games in Balanced mode a reduce power mode that actual can be seen as incresed heat you will be long to calculating thing in game and graphic, OS might call it standard but that's not how a engine look at it run around with a millingstone so you don't can perform better,
many know Full performance in power scematic. ( your gpu card and pc was build for 100% not 80% performance. ( check that battety Icon in windows controll panel, this is not a joke. )
most laptop user made many mistake in this, but gaming laptop also know to switch to Full performance then game needed it. ) same goes with desktop pc, we just don't talk about it.

To run with lesser power also increas the heat and cpu power to get done with the task.

heat is a funny thing, then pc is already up there and room is hot, things like be longer in calculating is actual not helping.

if you have ever seen a server room or It-hall, you will know heat and operating temparature effect how things run.

Yeah man soo basically I had my laptop set in the wrong mode in MSI Center I think. I changed it to Extreme Perf and it was fine and then I changed it to Balanced and the problem stopped steady frames and temps. I think maybe it was in Eco or AI Auto. MSI is pretty weird when it comes to this.
