gaming issues caused by cpu throttling...need assistance!
i have a win 10 laptop with an intel i3-4030u cpu at 1.90 ghz. my game began to stutter a few weeks ago. i assumed it was due to internet or graphics issues, but even after numerous attempts and enabling full performance mode, the problem persisted. recently, i checked the cpu frequency percentage in-game, which kept dropping from 100% to 60...30...20... and back to 100, leading to the stuttering. this is really frustrating. can i resolve it?
This situation is often seen as a bottleneck, and it seems like the only solution is to upgrade the CPU. When it reaches 100 percent, that's when the limitation occurs—your CPU is being forced to handle the game's demands, which puts pressure on it. This isn't just an issue with your system; some games aren't well optimized for certain processors, even if yours is relatively new. Please let me know which game you're trying to play.

It's curious how CS:GO performed well on a relatively outdated system with a decent core and a 512 MB card. Have you monitored your temperatures during those sessions? Overheating often causes significant slowdowns, which I've experienced before. If you notice overheating, using compressed air on the vents can help release excess heat.
also keep in mind that there should be no heavy background programs like anti-virus or web browsers, even if you think they are closed; chrome sometimes runs when it's closed at certain times. i have minimal background activity because i turned off anything i don't use, keeping me in full performance mode. i also have an nvidia 830 gpu with 2gb of dedicated memory (i forgot to mention before). yes, it does get hot. the laptop has shut down several times because of overheating and reaching 100 degree c. is this the heat causing those cpu drops?
