Hey guys! First of all, my specs:
Lenovo Ideapad 520
i7-7500U
4GB DDR4 RAM
940MX 2GB (GDDR5 version)
1TB HDD.
After 2-3 months of usage, I realised The Witcher 3 was unplayable. Before, everything was fine, a solid 30 FPS (playable for me) almost everywhere. Now, even in the middle of nowhere (no npcs, not much stuff), whenever I would press a button to move, my FPS would drop to 2-3.
Same thing happens in Apex Legends. Completely unplayable. You might say: Man, those are extensive games, it is normal... Well, my dears, same thing happens in Fortnite! Yes, Fortnite!
So, after I tried to find the problem I think it is a Hard Disk Problem. I know the RAM isn't enough but... Why did TW3 once work and now is a slide show?
Is there anything I can do? Anything I am doing wrong? I just don't understand... Here are some benchmarks with HD Tune (Kaspersky AV on in first, off in second, still off in third but switched to accurate benchmark). Those spikes are not ok...
