Hi everyone! I have come here in search of help with my laptop. It is a Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBA Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 80WY. The integrated graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 630, with the dedicated graphics card being a AMD Rx 560. It's not a terribly powerful laptop, however, it runs the games I play, such as League of Legends just fine. Well it used to. ):
A few days ago, I was playing on a solid constant 60 fps. However, the night before I unplugged my laptop for the first time in many months (a bad idea, I expect many of you will tell me). The battery dipped under 20% in the middle of a game, and it went from a solid 60 fps down to 10-15. Immediately I plugged in the charger again, but the performance issues still remained. I notice in the task manager that it seems like my dedicated graphics card is always at 0% use.
I have tried numerous things including reinstalling my graphics drivers, updating BIOS, setting my power plan to High Performance, resetting my laptop entirely and starting fresh, tinkering with the AMD Radeon settings, but nothing has worked to restore my computer's performance as it used to be. I noticed that not only in just games, but general performance with things like Discord or just watching videos was much slower as well.
The temperature of the laptop always seems relatively stable, and I believe everything in terms of drivers and updates are good. Any help would be so much appreciated! Any info you guys need I will happily provide, I just hope to fix this.
