Solved! Serious FPS issues, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti - please help!

Hi there,

Bit of background, not sure what's relevant - my laptop screen is burst and whilst awaiting a replacement screen, I have hooked my laptop up to an old monitor via HDMI.

Laptop was running fine until yesterday - logged on to WoW to find the graphics very laggy/stuttery and the game was running at 8 FPS.

Tried updating drivers, which caused a black screen. Factory reset the laptop, so I'm running off a clean install. Tried updating graphics drivers via GeForce experience, then tried uninstalling and reinstalling manually.

Game is still running at extremely low FPS and lagging.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as I'm not sure where to go from here. :(

Specs:

ASUS ROG G513QE-HN062T
AMD Ryzen 5 5600H (16MB Cache, 3.3GHz),
8GB DDR4-SDRAM,
512GB SSD
