========================
Hello. I purchased this laptop few days ago (r5 4600h, 1650Ti 4GB, 8GB ram, SSD). I noticed that when playing CSGO my fps is around 70-120 (Ofic. MM, faceit, training with bots). I tried various FPS boost commands, setting the priority to high, uninstalling the game, even tried to disable/enable the services in msconfig, but nothing helped. I know that this laptop can do much more as I was getting about 200 fps on my 5 years old n551vw laptop (i5, 960m, 12gb ram). I've even updated the bios to 314 but it didn't help. The game is installed on the SSD. What do you think might be the source of the problem?
I was thinking that it might be the RAM (8GB CL22) but I'm not sure. I know that CSGO is a game that uses more CPU than GPU but I didn't think it would be a problem for the R5. Regarding the RAM, is it possible to get rid of the original 8GB ram and replace it with a single 16GB faster CL16 unit? I think I saw somewhere on the internet that the RAM is soldered and can not be replaced.

Thank you, hope you understand as my english isn't the best. Patrick.

My old n551vw was better than this, omg. Someone on reddit did a full test of the A15 range and said that the cpu and gpu usage is limited to 100W of TDP combined. We will never get the full potential. Oh ....

You should not be worried. Asus will take responsibility for their products. They set up an appointment with me to check but i do not have time now.

Wow, that's really bad. Hope they will fix it, it looks to me like the cpu is limited

I have the Asus TUF A15 with 1650. my average FPS used to be around 85. I added another 8 GB stick to it (CL 22 3200Mhz Kingston) and now my average in game FPS is around 140 on High Settings with 16:9 1920*1080 resoltution. I think the CPU is getting bottlenecked by RAM here (hugely). Asus gives 2 slots for changeable RAM's (not soldered) so you can upgrade both with lower CL (CL 17 by HyperX 3200 Mhz a bit expensive) or just add another 8 GB stick of same configuration as of stock. Game is stored on SSD. Bios and drivers are latest. Turbo Mode on Armory Crate.
Your FPS will even reach 200+ on some places, least I noticed was 120 in case of casual mathces when all 10 players start screwing around in spawn.
Sidenot on 4:3 1280*960 the FPS was touching 300 FPS.
