Blade 15 Adv 2020 - waste of money?

I've purchased Blade 15 (i7 10875, stock 16gb ram, 2080 max-q), upgraded it to 64 ram.
I have it connected to Core X (rtx 3070) and external monitor (Iiyama GB3461WQSU-B1).

Laptop is underperforming in any game, so pretty much in stuff it should excel at, right?
Warzone runs at 50-60 fps tops with all low settings, as soon as I open any demanding game laptop power throttles instantly making it drop core speeds, I even ran warzone with turbo boost disabled (so 2.3 ghz stock) and it gave me pretty much same results as with turbo.

I'm running 1.04 bios and I am only able to disable turbo in throttlestop (undervolting is disable).
Anyone figured it out how to make 3k $ laptop run any 2019+ game without freezes?

Is the performance bad on Egpu (Razer core 3070) setting or also with your 2080 maxq as well? First Egpu setting is nice for boosting laptops with weak dgpu, your dgpu 2080maxq is high end gpu so it’s wasting the money since dgpu is directly connected to motherboard with PCIe 3 16 lanes and TB3 Egpu limited to 4 lanes bandwidth. On top of that most h CPUs like your 10875H let’s the gpu data on TB3 runs through pch controller that resulting more bandwidth penalty (also compared to ultrabook like stealth for having more io ports to control that eat bandwidth). There’re though advantage pairing H cpu with Egpu setting like better cpu temperature (since dgpu would be off and laptop only needs to cool the cpu) and for some setting and gaming having more cores (over ultrabook CPUs) might get another advantages.
Another things to note on my experience pairing ampere (3070) cards with Razer core Egpu setting, if you’ve g sync capable monitor on some games you may want to disable it since it may brings stuttering.
