Game performance drops to 20-30 frames per second even though I previously achieved higher FPS
i experience a sudden drop from high to low frame rates after reaching 100 fps. this happens repeatedly across different games. in another case, my gaming laptop usually stays around 250-300 fps for csgo, but it also dips to 20-30 fps unexpectedly. no changes were made to the system or graphics settings. the issue seems random, and even after updating drivers and windows, it persists. the attached video shows what’s happening (link provided).
Well, since it's laptop, the solution is quite limited Could you share the detail brand, model, type, and launch/purchase year? It would help much on determine specific fix Option: 1. Limit your CPU max temp, it might not be ideal, but it does help reduce the 'stutter' dip. If it's AMD CPU, Ryzen Controller can help limit the max temp, While I'm not sure if there's Intel specific apps to do that since I don't own Intel laptop 2. Undervolt CPU, this is only exclusive Intel CPU, the setting is quite varied depending on your laptop manufacturer. Whereas for AMD, it's not available for 5000 series (because I own laptop with this CPU) but I'm not sure for 6000 or newer series 3. If you have used this laptop for over 3 years, I think it's a good time to do thermal repaste. It would be best if you could bring your laptop to nearby service center and ask them to do it. 4. This is just very common small things to do to improve the thermal limit, you can use cooling pad and set the laptop exhaust fan to maximum.
Have you ever checked and blasted the heatsink dry? Otherwise, it could be heavily blocked and require repair. After three years, swapping out the thermal paste might also be necessary.
Sorry didn't notice on your attachment has information on your CPU Since it's i5-11400H (11th Gen), you can undervolt using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU for short) (link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...l-xtu.html ) Here's a little guide on using it: After download, install and open the Intel XTU, click Stress test, check mark on 'CPU Stress test', and choose duration of the test, usually around 10-15 minutes After the test, you can see the result at bottom left for result and you can see the average temperature for reference click 'Core', and on 'Core Voltage Offset', set to -0.050V (-50mV), then click 'Apply" Re-run the stress test to see if it crash If not, set the 'Core Voltage Offset' for lower value, usually at -10mV increment So you may try at -0.060V, and if run stress successfully, repeat with -0.070V until the system crash If it finally crash, it means you can use the last setting before it got crash. The temps difference should be quite noticeable, and hope this could reduce your sudden FPS dip
