[SOLVED] help! suddenly get super low fps in a day!

[danzydan]

So this has been happening for a few times now, there would be periods of time where my fps is fine, comfortably reaching 300fps+ on csgo or something but then in a day it would decrease to around 160, effectively halving it. same as all my other games, my fps would just half. im not sure why this is happening, and last time i tried clean booting my enitre windows died and i had to bring it in to get repaired xd.
here are my specs:
alienware 17
i7-8750H
gtx 1070
16gb ram
and i have updated windows and my drivers? please help! 😭

i would assume thats a laptop. could well be that your laptop is thermal throttling. this is when a piece of hardware will slow its self down when it gets too hot to prevent damage. most gaming laptops will do this. but to be honest ive never heard a case of it having such a massive affect. next time you play, use a monitoring tool like msi-afterburner to see what temperature your hardware becomes when playing games! usually anything above around 85-90 degrees will start to thermal throttle

yes, you’re right that it’s a laptop, i used NZXT cam to check the temperatures and there is nothing abnormal happening lol. it averages 60*c when playing games games and 40 when idle
