Question fps drops every few seconds on gaming laptop

[Charlessss]

So I have a Lenovo y540 with a gtx 1660ti, whenever I play a game I have pretty high fps and then suddenly it stutters and get really low fps for a second and this happens like every ten seconds. I have tried throttlestop and have even undervolted the CPU, but now I think the GPU is probably the problem. whenever I get the fps drop the gpu also spikes to 100% usage, temps are good, no limit messages in throttlestop for anything. Does anyone have any fixes for this problem? because it is kindoff unplayable at the moment. see the previous chat for some history on the case: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...-before-it-was-140-fps.3791963/#post-22905037, the laptop was completely cleaned from the inside including a thermal repaste and windows had had a clean install. throttlestop settings you can find here.

Hey there.

I was part of that previous thread, so have a little background. Is this your monitor? : https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-29UM67-P-ultrawide-led-monitor

If so, I'd suggest using Freesync/G-sync. If you aren't hitting high FPS, and you're not a pro gamer, then using G-sync will stop the stuttering feeling, as the frames will be synced with your monitor. Works very well.

this is my monitor yes, unfortunately it only supports freesync and as my gpu is from NVidia that wont help.

It should work with Freesync.

You need a DP cable, but once connected, you go NVCP and enable G-Sync. You may have to enable Freesync in the monitor menu. Once done you then have G-sync compatible.

it seems that the problem is not in the monitor, I have downloaded MSI afterburner and everytime I have such a lag spike the memory clock drops from 6000 mhz to 810 MHz, here is someone with a similar problem and this is what it looks like
