Hey guys i really hope u can help me out i bought a new laptop yesterday a Legion 5 15ACH6H.

I've tested it in the following games:

Rust - 30-60% usage
BFV - 30-60% usage DX11
BFV - 40-90% usage DX12 (Way higher FPS but alot of fps drops from 130-140 fps to 10 fps, pretty much unplayable no matter what setting)
F1 2020 - 30-50% usage
Pubg - 30-60% usage

My CPU is never near 100% and i have seen youtubers test pc's with the same spec's and they didn't have any problems with their GPU usage or fps drops.

When i do a benchmark my GPU usage can stay on 99-100 % same goes for the CPU, just not doing games.

What i've tried so far:

- DDU and reinstalled nvidia drivers and amd drivers
- Disabled the radeon graphics to release those exstra 2 GB of ram.
- Changing settings from ultra-low to see if it made a change in any of the games but it didn't
- Checked power settings
- Benchmarked to check if any components were to blame
- Checked temps

My spec's:

Ryzen 7 5800h
RTX 3070 8GB 130 watt
16 GB DDR3 3200 Mhz
1000 GB SSD

drascons - Wow, I didn't think that BFV gives such a load with DX12

harrydavidson701l3 - Thank you for sharing the results of your tests. I plan to buy a new gaming laptop for myself. I have already managed to find for myself here https://10roar.com similar to your laptop. It's a bit more powerful than yours, but I think I won't be able to get fps much higher than yours. BFV is probably the game I want to play the most and I am quite satisfied with this performance. I don't think that incomplete loading of the graphics card can lead to something bad. At a minimum, your video card will live a little longer than if it was constantly loaded at 100%. Don't worry about it.
