Question FPS slowdowns every minute or so in Fallout 4.

[Morpheus77]

Hello,

This is my very first post. My problem I'm having is that my Fallout 4 has random FPS drops in the 10's or so. Its not consistent and happens randomly. My laptop specs are as follows:

Ryzen 5 5600H @3.3ghz, 16gb 3200hz ram, 1 tb SSD, 512gb SSD, and a 3050 ti 4gb Vram GPU.

Please help.

Sounds like it might be thermal throttling to me. Have you taken a look to see what the CPU and GPU thermals are doing at the time you are seeing the FPS drops? I'd recommend installing HWinfo, run it, choose the "sensors only" option and then see what the thermals are doing while running the game.

Might also want to check to see that you have the latest BIOS firmware installed and the latest chipset and graphics card drivers as well.
