rtx 5080(175w) laptop gpu

Which exact model, please?
According to the picture showing the GPU usage is at 99%, but power is only around 88W.
In that case, it usually means one of these:
- The game simply doesn’t require more power (lighter workload even at high usage)
- A frame rate cap / V-Sync is limiting performance
- The system is in a lower performance profile (Balanced / Silent mode)
- Dynamic Boost isn’t allocating extra power from the CPU side
Stress tests are designed to push voltage and power to the limit continuously. Games don’t always behave that way, even at 99% usage.
Make sure you’re in Extreme/High Performance mode, plugged in, and try disabling V-Sync or FPS caps to see if GPU power increases.
