We experienced unusual FPS problems within a specific range of frames per second.
We experienced unusual FPS problems within a specific range of frames per second.
My laptop model is G3 3590 (i5-9300h, GTX 1650, 60Hz).
In every game I play, between 60 to 120 fps it feels very poor and choppy—it’s like running on a 48Hz monitor with extra input lag. There’s no screen tearing, which is usually present in any FPS. I’ve tried various fixes, but nothing works. It would help if someone could figure out what’s causing this issue.
What is the RAM capacity? Ideally dual channel (2x4gb or 2x8gb) or another configuration. Single channel RAM might lead to stuttering in certain games. Have you experimented with an FPS limiter? You could adjust it a few frames lower, like 57 or 58 Hz.
Hey there,
Which power plan are you running? Try high performance. You can activate it by entering these commands in the Windows PowerShell:
Ultimate Performance: powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
High Performance: powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
Balanced: powercfg -duplicatescheme 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e
Power saver: powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a
Check if it improves things!
PS: Avoid using Ultimate on your laptop. Your drives and all hardware will remain active, so skip power saving mode.
Well sorry, I’m uncertain whether my laptop has 2x4gb or 1x8gb. Even if we assume the latter, it still seems adequate to run a single old FPS game at the lowest possible settings. This issue occurs with various games, not just specific titles, and it’s not limited to high-end systems. It appears more like the game is running at a low refresh rate—between 60 to around 120fps—and doesn’t stutter significantly. I’ve tried using FPS limiters and VSync, which make it smoother, but they introduce noticeable input lag, which isn’t ideal for me. I only prefer games without strict frame rate limits. Thanks for your response, and I’ll check the RAM channel usage.
I use high performance mode but I don't think it resolved this problem. Thank you for your response.
