Hi.
I have a Dell entry level gaming laptop:
16Gb Ram
Core I7 7700HQ 2.80 Ghz
GTX 1050 Ti.
2 days ago I notice a considerable drop in gaming performance which basically came out of nowhere. Everything was fine one day and then the next day I started noticing big drops in framerates. Games I used to run at 30fps are now all over the place with frequent drops to the mid 20's, games I used to run at locked 60fps are now running a very unstable 40-60 fps.
I have no idea what is causing this or how to troubleshoot this.
Things I've tried:
- Restarting (duh)
- Updating all the drivers
- Using the Dell tool to "check" the hardware
- Cleaning the device
I thought it could be something related to temperature, but generally those issues come over time (performance dropping the longer you play). In my case I can turn on the laptop, go straight to a game and it will be running poorly from the first moment.
The only other change I can remember was a Windows 10 Update. But I've been looking around and no one is reporting performance drops from the latest updates.
Thanks in advance.
