Hello Guardians, I recently bought a new gaming laptop, the ROG Zephyrus S GX701 from Asus and downloaded D2 for it in December. When I first installed it, I used to get around 120 FPS with the default settings, which were pretty much medium all the way around. I increased the settings later on, and got around 60 FPS for a time. However, I was talking to my friends and they were shocked to hear that I am only getting around 40 FPS now, given my specs:
RTX 2080 Max Q from Nvidia
9th Generation Intel core i7 9750
32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM
17.3” 144Hz 3ms full HD display
Now I get that it's a laptop, however you'd think that these specs would indeed allow for more FPS than 40. I've tried everything that my friends and Google has suggested, yet nothing seems to work.
-It doesn't seem to be a temperature issue
-It also doesn't seem to be bottlenecked, as the GPU and CPU never reach 100% load.
-I've made sure that the game is set to run in full performance mode, forgoing any power-saving options both in the actual computer's settings and in the Nvidia Control Panel
-I've tried running the games on the optimized settings in Nvidia Geforce
-I've tried restoring the graphics settings to the default settings, as well as minimum settings, and neither option has raised my frame rates, nor does my FPS get lower when returning to max settings (this is what confuses me the most).
-I've made sure that all of my drivers are up to date, and have also tried reverting to older Nvidia driver versions to see if it was a problem introduced with any newer releases.
-I've run an integrity check through Steam, which came back with no negative results.
Nothing I have tried has done a single thing to increase or decrease my frames. So, is there anything else I can try? Because I've been trying to figure out a solution for the better part of a week and nothing has helped. Thank you for your help in advance. At the very least, if something doesn't fix it, at least it can be scratched off the list of potential culprits.

1 Replysounds like it's throttling a bit. my sons laptop displayed the same symptoms. look into a programmed called 'throttlestop' and use it to undervolt the cpu a bit.

3 Repliestrying testing the graphic settings around med-high, and turn off v-sync, also make sure in your settings your framerate is not capped at 40( you can set custom framerate caps on pc)
