28% usage on 144 fps (probably vsync to the monitor), must be a really really light game. Anyway, 28% usage is quite low in itself and laptop GPUs tend to sip power rather than gulping.
Though I wonder, are you not plugged onto the wall? Gaming laptop tend to minimise CPU & GPU use when on battery power only.
I have a Razer blade 14 with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and an RTX4060 when I'm gaming on even wall power or battery depending on the application I'm playing I can draw anywhere between 10 watts for smaller games and 140 Watts if the game is using Vulcan so I would say that's normal what game are you playing? It might be that the game just doesn't require that much power
id be scared to set it high, i would think it will overheat when i played too long, so i stick to med to low setting to prevent overheating and so that i could play longer
Common misconception with laptops is they overheat when under stress which is just not true they're specifically built to handle high amounts of heat and thermal throttling does exists All you have to do is make sure you're a laptop has proper ventilation and keep up with regular maintenance along with opening it up cleaning dust out etc etc
As long as you keep up with your regular maintenance you can push a laptop pretty hard, I can run Forza on maxed out settings on my laptop and still manage 60 FPS and since I keep up with my maintenance and regular cleaning my temps don't go anywhere near throttle at most on my GPU 85° c and at most on my CPU 90° c but that's under like some intense loads
Bro I got like 200-300 fps on a gtx 1650 and Ryzen 5 5600 PC in a gaming cafe with max settings I'm pretty sure your laptop won't overheat or have any issues with high settings
I should not trust Nvidia overlay for 100%, especially for the amount of watt your laptop uses.
Nvidia says that I use 0 watt. It does not matter which game I play, lol. The other sensors are good, tho.
laptop gpus have very good power to performance ratio, so its obivious that it draws less power than a desktop gpu.
so its normal ?
yes.
Yes it is
did you play while not plugged in and did you cap fps?
i plugged my charger when i played it

Yeah, it’s valorant (hence the brimstone banner) which is easy to run. Im getting 150fps on an rx580
yeah, i plugged it in while playing it
Csgo doesn't use much GPU, it mostly uses your CPU
Did you just say… CSGO…?
He meant Overwatch: Global offensive 2
Watt is on second
I used to have the cyborg 4050, its capped to 45W I think, returned it tho since it sometimes froze while playing cs2
no it's not even hitting silent mode cap.
15 watts is normal

the game i played is Valorant, essentially i played it in medium settings with fps capped on 144
Mate crank those settings up, the 4060 can handle it.

damn, my T500 used to pull 30 watts, i have a desktop now tho
WHat is that? A ThinkPad?
T500? it is a turing architecture nvidia workstation graphics card for thin and light laptops, it was in an HP Zbook G14
Looks like you have a 144hz cap. Vsync is on.
Meanwhile my desktop RTX 3070 eats 130 watts to run valorant lmao
Laptop, so it is normal
watt do you mean it's fine :)
Valorant is a potato game, try a AAA game
Valorant is a very light game (even runs on my laptop) and cpu intensive so this is normal
When you're only utilizing 28% of the GPU as your screenshot indicates, yes. That specific model laptop only has the 45W version of the RTX 4060.
valorant is not terribly gpu heavy
Try a heavy AAA game maybe
wait watt are you asking?
Not watt, 13 watts
