My Laptop is struggling to run this Demo!!

[Agent 382]

Hi all. I'm not mainly a PC player as I have A PlayStation 5 and a Nintendo Switch I play on regularly, but every now and then I get a game on steam to play on my "Gaming" laptop. The laptop in question is not the best and not new, but it get the job done with most older and indie games. As I said I'm not a PC Player so I don't want to judge the Demo negatively, but for some reason my laptop is struggling to run it. I mean I don't mind playing on 1080 60fps as I'm used to it on consoles (more like 30fps lol), but damn!! this Demo uses something like 80% of my GPU on medium settings 1080 60fps. Is something wrong?! Is the full game going to be like this?! By the way my laptop GPU is 2070. I'm I missing something?! Can any one help?!

You have 1080p and 60fps? That's good.
A 2070 is a graphics card that's almost 6 years old and even then it was severely limited due to the lower V-Ram. A laptop card is even worse and varies depending on the power supply of the laptop manufacturer.
But the demo is probably running on an older build - so the finished game will run better.
It's normal for a graphics card to use such a high percentage. Unless you really have a high-end card

Thank you for your help..
I was genuinely worried, and I didn't know what's the problem. I was worried not because it uses 80% but the fans were running very loud, and the laptop getting very hot, and when I used "Windows+G" to see if anything wrong I notice it used 80% so I though it was a problem. especially when I went to the store page and technically my laptop is above the recommended specs.

Don't worry. Demos are usually not particularly well optimized - at least on the PC. They also updated the recommended graphics card today. From a GTX 1050 to a GTX 3050 (there is no GTX 3050 - they probably mean the RTX 3050). Your graphics card should be 20% better.
Unfortunately, the information is not given for resolution and FPS. But 1080/60 fps should be possible.

And the fans of a laptop are always a bit louder under high load - you have to remember that the hardware is built in a very small space. This means that everything gets a bit warmer and therefore needs to be cooled more. The manufacturer of the laptop also plays a role. My work laptop is a Razer Blade, the fans are extremely quiet, but the laptop gets uncomfortably hot under full load thanks to its aluminum casing. That's why it's very important to have an alternative keyboard.

I hope I was able to help a little.

P.S.: I saw you like Death Door - maybe this is a game for you:
