GPU load is not more than 40%, how to fix it?

Question

Video cards

Asus TuF Gaming fx505dt laptop, 1650 graphics card, 8 GB RAM, ssd 512, Ryzen 7 3750H. In short, normal iron. At first, the frequency of the video card was 700 MHz (should be 1400-1600), I took it to the service under warranty, they fixed it. I was pleased, but not for long. I downloaded MSI Afterburner, looked at the frequency, but the fps in games did not really change. I noticed that the GPU is loaded by no more than 40%, except for GTA V - on ultras the GPU is loaded at 100, but the fps is 30. In all other games, the load is never higher. Windows is clean, activated, firewood from the Asus website, everything is updated. Nothing helps. I already read on the internet that you need to do everything through the second monitor, because on the ryzens the picture is processed by the built-in, but it is still displayed through the integrated one, it didn’t help either. I don’t know what to do anymore, it seems that almost all users of such a laptop have such crap, but did not find a solution. Help advice, for 2 weeks I can not solve it.

Answer 1

Since you have an AMD processor, then try to go to the Catalyst Control Center and switch there only to a discrete one:

1. We are looking for the "Food" menu.
   
2. Click on the "Switchable graphics adapters" button.
   
3. Select the "High performance" option if we want to force the discrete graphics subsystem to be enabled.
   
4. Reboot the laptop and check the GPU load
   

Also through the Nvidia Control Panel, you can do the following steps:

1. We are looking for the menu "Manage 3D settings"
   
2. Then go to the sub-item "Program settings"
   
3. In the first paragraph, select the program for which you want to set priority.
   
4. In the second paragraph, specify the graphics adapter that you want to use.
   
5. Also put in the "Control Panel" - "Power Options" - a tick on "High performance"
   
6. Reboot the laptop and check the GPU load
   

Option 2 - switching to a discrete graphics card through the BIOS:

1. We go into the BIOS
   
2. Go to the tab "Advanced" (or Peripherals or Config, may be called differently)
   
3. In one of them you need to find one of these options (the names may be different for everyone): Chipset Configuration, Graphic Device, Primary Graphics Device, Primary Graphics Adapter or PnP / PCI Configuration.
   
4. We go to this tab and select from the list of options Discrete Graphics or PCI or PCI-E (the same thing, just the names can be different)
   
5. Then we save the settings and restart the computer by pressing the F10 key and confirming our actions
   

The laptop will use the discrete graphics card the next time it starts up.
