Low CPU Clock During Gameplay

[CavaleraC]

Basically when I start the game everything runs normal, but after a couple minutes, my CPU clock drops from around 3.0GHz/3.5GHz to 2.3GHz, which is the base frenquency of the CPU. Consequently the FPS drops from 60 to around 40.

I've tried using Throttlestop to force a faster clock. Outside the game, i get frequencies around 4.0GHz, but whenever i open the game, after some time it drops again.

The CPU temperature stays around 85ºC, which is ok for this laptop. I play other games with the same temperature and get no frequency drop. So I don't think it's thermal throttling.

Does this have to do with my laptop or it's just the game's bad optmization? If it's my laptop, does anyone know how to fix it?

My septup:

CPU: i7-12700H

GPU: RTX 3060 Mobile

RAM: 16GB

SSD: 512GB NVMe Gen.4

It would've been great if you had the k version. I have no clue. This game doesn't run consistently on my computer either. If you have to do a bunch of stuff to run a specific game, that game is usually the problem. If I had been patient I would've never bought this game until it was 100% fixed.

Your CPU is either thermal throttling or power throttling. If it's power throttling, there's nothing you can do.

If it's thermal throttling, connect a vacuum to your laptop's exhaust port.

oof. bad vacuum idea. you can damage the fans and bearings if you overrev them.

@op the cpu got heavy specs. 115W at max is too damn high. intel is just bad at power management. i reckon crylox is right.

my own xp with a 3060 and 6 core amd cpu. for this game i'd disable the e-cores in the bios. run the 6 p-cores at 3.2 base (over-intel-clock) and 4.20 o clock turbo. get the turbo clock as stable or consistent as possible without overshooting the thermals and power targets. my cpu does great. 3.6 to 4.0 GHz, below 30 W under full load and stressed.
