Disable Dynamic Boost 2.0 or limit GPU power target?

I have an Asus TUF Gaming F15 Intel i5 11400H + RTX 3060 laptop. Here it is:

The game I main is Hell Let Loose (Like Squad but WW2), its a mil-sim FPS with 100 player servers, artillery, tanks...
It is extremely CPU bound, and the GPU utilization is low at 1080p.
Even so, GPU hovers around 90-95W (TGP is 90+5 with DB 2.0) all the time, even while being at 70% utilization, while the CPU is starving at 30W-40W even though it is a 45W SKU.
Does anybody know of a way to disable Dynamic Boost 2.0 or limit power to like 80W so the CPU can use more of it? MSI Afterburner power slider is locked.
OS is Windows 10

Only a year late, but try disabling Nvidia Platform Controllers and Framework in Device Manager under Software Devices. My 3060 would usually be forced to 130 W but that limited it to 100 W, giving the CPU more power. Also have MSI Afterburner open when testing this, because it seems like sometimes the GPU isn't limited to 100 W unless you also have Afterburner running.

Also, I believe you can limit the GPU frequency with G-Helper, although that won't cap it to a specific power target, so you'll have to figure out which frequency you want to limit it to to maximize your FPS (too low prevents GPU from being fully utilized while too high starves the CPU).

Thanks, i will try that! I started using the extra GPU power to DSR the image to 1440p for higher res visuals!
