    So i was playing cyberpunk and noticing when my cpu is at 45W my gpu only is at 80W and whenever the cpu boosts beyond 45W the gpu's tdp continues to go below even down to 68W at some points. Absolutely 0 thermal throttling has been experienced as my cpu and gpu barely ever go past 80 and 75. Is this normal i thought the gpu was supposed to run at 90W minimum?


    EDIT: I noticed when in aorus control center when i put cpu in normal mode and gpu in turbo the gpu stays at 90W and cpu at 45W but when gpu and cpu are in boost and turbo the cpu is around 60+W while the gpu is around 75W or lower. So for gaming should i just keep it in normal?

    Check other game if you have, for example, metro exodus. In this game my GPU stay almost always on max TDP. For Gaming I use Azure AI blue mode.

    Check that you have everything correctly.

    my dynamic boost option in control panel is gone for some reason but i see it reach 105W when cpu is below 45W. Is it normal behavior when the cpu is above 45W for the GPU to lose wattage? and go below 90?

    Yes that's normal. The laptop controls this automatically. If more power is needed for the cpu, it takes it from the gpu and vice versa. This is Dynamic Boost 2.0
