Horrible stuttering on a 4090 laptop *FIXED*

[JoJi1G]

The game becomes unplayable when looking in a direction of multiple gravitational anomalies and near certain areas with npcs. the graphical setting doesnt matter the framerate drops on any setting with horrid stuttering, does anyone have this problem on a laptop? Honestly I wouldnt mind if they took an extra year of development as long as I can play the game normally when it releases on a laptop that costs 4100eur. wtf GSC

3060 Laptop and it's working good on medium settings in 1920x1080 for me. 1000 euros. I guess it's not the hardwares fault....

"don't be poor" is what I've been told.

laptop is the keyword there. 4090 laptop is not 4090. Actual 4090 is the size of your laptop.

Laptops are garbage for gaming. Stop wasting your money.

A laptop version of a video card is usually 2 steps down from it's desktop equivalent. So that 4090 is more like a 4070 Ti. It's a documented thing with mobile cards.

Edit: The real kicker is laptop video cards don't usually have dedicated memory either. They share with the system.

OK, WTF are you doing buying a laptop with a 4090 in it? Besides wasting your money...

Check if your antivirus or anything resource/system intensive is running in the background as some AV's/progs can interfere with games because at leats in an AV's case, they passively scan files. I had that issue when I'd play Metaphor. Game ran like farts and stuttered and lagged hard. Disabled the antivirus(even though it has a gamer mode) and the game ran flawlessly since.

They exist. They are just super expensive and are usually quite unwieldy. At least the ones that I've worked with/on.

Subjective opinion. Like I wrote, some are absolute powerhouses, but they are defeated by their size/weight. And don't get me started on how shoddy some of them are built (cheap materials, bad assembly, poor QC, etc) Also, I'm all set on dropping 3500 on a lapper when I can drop near that for a full command center. Everyone has their limits I get that. But getting a gaming laptop as your sole machine seems like a foot-bullet to me.

Laptops tend to overheat when playing demanding games and this game is CPU bound so the 4090 probably isn't the problem. Without knowing which CPU you've got can't say much. Check the temps and use a cooling pad if they're high.

Don't play into the hardware marketing, experience here via a higher end "gaming laptop" [cough, cough] I bought for my son... Overheats and thermal throttle until he got an extra 'cooling deck' for it.
