OK, Problem solved.
The Game was using the 2nd GPU instead of the 1st GPU (which is on the PCI x4.0 Slot)
The Game only chooses the Screen it show the game on, but does not show which GPU it uses. When i played (in windowed) I saw the temperature of the 2nd GPU raise.
I cut the Power to the 2nd GPU, Game runs fine.
Perhaps consider a possibility to let the User choose the GPU if there are more than 1.
Thanks

@NDH_Retr0 there are some ways to do it but the most recent is in Windows Graphics settings and than under Graphics performance preference and select a desktop app. Hit the browse button and select Need For Speed Unbound to run on the correct GPU.

it works but theres a big problem. the only option that works is power saving which makes my game run at 5fps. when i use high performance mode it only shows windowed and crashes the game when i change the settings

@NDH_Retr0 in power saving mode your game is probably running on the iGPU. The problem is that your laptop screen is connected to the iGPU and the dedicated GPU is connected to the iGPU. It is likely that your game can't be displayed in a window on the desktop because of this. So the game uses your dedicated graphics only in fullscreen. I have laptop that behaves the similar but I don't have Unbound on it to verify this.
