My laptop Zephyrus S gx531 uses the same CPU and the 1070 max q gpu. I don't have these issues with soul calibur 2, the other games are not on my flashdrive I use when traveling so I can not check, but I don't think they are much more demanding. The only non standard settings I am using is LLE DSP with my files I dumped from my Wii using DSPspy (I coppied them over from my main emulation PC, but I forget the reason I bothered to do it in the first place... now it is just out of habit).
Your zephyrus m gu501 gm should run pretty close to my system unless there is a power limit or temprature issue going on. Make sure your profile in asus's armory crate or whatever it is called on your model is not set to silent or balanced since it actually slightly underclocks the system (at least on mine it does, though I read undervolting messes with the silent mode's underclock so I haven't undervolted mine).
You could also try a prime 95 stress test to make sure your system is stable.
The temps seem fine when using dolphin, staying at a modest 58c to 60c, and using XTU there seems to be no throttling of any type.
And I dont have that type of program installed, i have the ROG program that i guess is the same as the armory crate.
Ok I'll try prime 95, i did use cinebench and XTU to test my pc and their seems to be no throttling.
@Helios: I only updated the Nvidia driver, I however dont know where to go to update anything else. With power management I do have it all on max power unless I am missing something. And as for external programs I am un installing alot of bloat that came with the pc, and checking the cpu usage while in dolphin it seems dolphin is the only thing using the CPU.
My pc also uses hyperthreading which I hear messes with Dolphin, should I disable it?
