Razer Blade 15 – random FPS drops during games, bottleneck maybe?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using my Razer Blade 15 (i7 + RTX 3060 + 16GB RAM) for a while now. Lately I’m getting random FPS drops while gaming — even on medium settings. Temps are not crazy (75–80 °C) and I already updated drivers and Windows.

Sometimes GPU usage stays low while CPU goes high, and I’m wondering if this could be some kind of bottleneck issue between CPU and GPU, or if it’s just Synapse / Windows causing the lag.

Has anyone else with a Razer laptop experienced this? Any tips to stabilize performance would be great.

Thanks!

Hey! I’ve had the same kind of FPS drops on my Razer Blade before. When your CPU is running high but GPU is low, it’s usually a CPU bottleneck in certain games, especially ones heavy on physics or single-core performance.

A few things that helped me:

  • Make sure Razer Synapse isn’t doing background stuff all the time.

  • Set Windows Power Mode to Best Performance while plugged in.

After doing this, my games ran a lot smoother without touching the hardware.
