Hi all,

I'm encountering performance issues with my laptop, I've tried everything I could think of to fix it but without success.

I used to run Fallout without issues what so ever but currently I can't even play CoH2 on lowest settings.

Did a few benchmarks and the results are below (I'm open for suggestions to use other benchmarks:

ACTION TAKEN
* Windows reinstall with complete data wipe
* BIOS updated to newest version
* Removed battery pack and changed power plan to performance
* Set processor power plan to 99% to prevent going into "TURBO"
* Checked drivers manually and with Driver Booster (I have a paid subscription) to ensure most recent drivers


Laptop: Asus N751JX
SPECS
PROCESSOR:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ

GRAPHICS CARD:
Nvidia GTX 950M

DRIVER:
SanDisk X300s Non-Secure 256GB
HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5" 1TB

MEMORY KIT:
Hynix HMT41GS6BFR8A-PB 2x8GB

 
Solution
Temp look good. Maybe an Optimus bug, maybe. Try different nvidia drivers see if any older or newer version make s a difference. Also if you run Prim95 stress test what frequency shows for your cpu?

I can hear the fan and I try to remove dust every 3 months or so.
Is there another way for me to confirm that it isn't a throttling problem?

Thanks for answering btw!
