A bit long one, but please kindly help me out here
My Laptop is Acer Nitro AN515-52, i5-8300H, 8GB RAM & GTX 1050Ti
It can run Witcher 3 on medium settings after undervolting a bit with Throttlestop. The temperatures rarely went over 90C
I installed Horizon Zero Dawn and it told my graphics driver is old and update to newer version. So I updated it to the latest Nvidia 457.30 version. Since then laptop has been heating up like hell. It rarely went down from 95C. Thinking it must be the game issue, I tested with Disco Elysium at lower settings, which should run smoothly…but same heating issues.
Also if you check, Userbenchmark testing that is linked does not even recognize a graphics card! It was tested while the 1050Ti was in use! I don’t know how it is possible.Benchmarking test
Opening the previous Throttlestop setup caused screen to go blue and restart the system. I made a new Throttlestop profile but it doesn’t seem to have any impact on temperatures now! Previously it could reduce temp by 7 to 9C
I uninstalled the driver and installed a slightly older one (442.50 version) but the issue remains! I couldn’t install the first version which I removed that caused all this because I am stupid enough not to note it down.
Any help or suggestions would be really helpful.
Thank you in advance.
PS. CPU and GPU heats are shown in image attached.
