i7 10750H and rtx 2070 max-q; Can't play on high settings.

I've got a new laptop with some sick hardware, and Dead by Daylight is incapable of using its whole potental.
Devs, wtf? Why on high, not ultra settings fps drops from 60 to 40? Its not even a problem with new maps, its a general problem for all maps.

Should have just bought a better gaming chair I guess.
I have a laptop with a 1060 Max-Q and I'm able to run Ultra at about 45 fps. Not great but playable. You should definitely be getting better performance than me... That's strange.
I have acer predator helios 300. Temperature does not go past 70 degrees if turbo-cooling is on. 75 degrees on auto-cooling, which is still more than acceptable. Its a brand new laptop and it is frustrating.
It runs better than yours. Fps most of the time is 60 indeed, and circumstances where it drops to 40 are rare, but common enough to be noticed almost every game.
Btw, I don't see huge difference in performance between ULTRA and HIGH. They seem to be almost the same if we talk about occasional drops in fps that can occur often to be irritating.
Honestly, there's no reason to run this game at high/ultra anyway. In fact I'm pretty sure most veterans play on Low settings because it reduces shadows and makes it easier to spot other players.
But what if I am not a sweaty try hard who just wants to play beautiful games?
Also, how people might feel when they buy +1500$ rtx gaming laptop to realize it can't afford stable 60 fps on 1080p on an ONLINE GAME?
Hey man, I agree with you 100%. But this game has and always will have performance issues, even on top-tier machines. You seem like you've been around awhile, so this shouldn't be news to you.
I've got a Clevo X170SM-G (i7-10700K, 2070 Super Max-P, 32GB) and I can run ultra absolutely fine.
The first thing i'd do is make sure it's not trying to use your intel GPU... because laptops like to do that to preserve battery life. If that's not the case, then I'd run something like MSI afterburner to monitor temps as there might be a thermal throttling issue.
