The game runs poorly even though I have a gaming laptop

[ctzenz216]

I just bought gow4 and the game ran smoothly on the first 6 hours gameplay. However, when I turned it on for the 2nd time, the game kinda runs poorly. Everything responds super slow and it's just like playing a super slow fps game. My computer is ryzen9, RTX3060 and 16GB RAM. I did turn on the gaming mode and played in turbo but it doesn't help. Anyone knows how to fix that?

No they're not. They are one of three viable mainstream options for gaming. What is awful, good, or value for money depends on the circumstances and needs of the user.

They actually are. When you compare any "gaming laptop" to a desktop computer that becomes very clear. Not to mention they cost a lot more for a lot less hardware specs. Upgrading them is just as bad.

Then there is the fact that cooling is almost always an issue, and they must remain plugged in to see any kind of real performance. Gaming laptops are a play on words to sell to consumers who don't know any better.

They can work in a pinch or on the go to scratch that gaming itch but do not expect top tier performance from them. You'll almost always need to tweak game settings lower than default to get stable game play. Especially in games like gow.

lol, OK then. No need for you to understand what I actually wrote.

This is off topic. I'm done.

tested on my laptop i58300H with 1050 gpu and all run perfect without any issues in 1080p with FSR ( temps are totally good same as other game ) i think your laptop need to cool better first to avoid throttle .... other things are AMD Ryzen are really ♥♥♥♥ for gaming sorry bud . if u want to play go intel ! that's the way and for gpu nvidia ^^ AMD is trash !

Did you check to see what your GPU & CPU usage and how much VRAM the game is consuming during the slowdowns / low FPS?

I play on a laptop I play max settings 1440p and game runs perfect

If you still aren't getting great performance, check your virtual memory. I recently figured out that God of War wants to use about 12GB of the pagefile regardless of how much RAM you have. When you go into the graphics settings, if the page file listing is in red, it's too small. I forgot to update mine and it was the Windows default of about 4GB. Made it 30GB and now everything is running in Ultra at 60fps and staying around 68C. The difference is night and day. If your machine is otherwise capable, this may be your problem.

Why do newbies constantly tell us how great things are for them in a thread about someone with a problem?

Oh, and why are there so many anti-AMD Nvidia sock-puppets with their dirty tricks campaigns?

For me the game ran piss-poor regardless of what I did until I looked outside of the game and at the Nvidia control panel instead. Well, I looked at what others had done to be honest and these were the things they told me to change:

Anisotropic filtering: off
Antialiasing - mode: override any setting
Low latency mode: off
Multi-frame sampled AA: off
Texture filtering - anisotropic: off
Texture filtering - negative LOD: allow
Texture filtering - quality: quality
Texture filtering - trilinear optimisation: on
Tripple buffering: on

I'm which of those helped the game, but it runs much better now. I play the game at original settings by the way. All of them should be changed within the game's nvidia control panel settings/AMD equivalent.

Unfortunately, none of this will stop the 'Kratos stops running forward' bug, which first hit me 25hrs in.
