I have a laptop that I bought 3 years ago with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB
8GB DDR4
A while ago (few months) I began to have issues in with fps drops under 60 in League of Legends,especially in teamfights(bassicly when there is a lot going on on the screen).
I tried quite a bunch of things,which I will list below and I didnt manage to fix the problem and I am out of ideeas .
How do I know it s bottlenecked? Well I usually play league on the highest settings and I tried the lowest settings and nothing changed. I get 120 FPS when the game starts,usually around 10 when playing the game but fps drops under 60 in teamfights. Furthermore, I also played CSGO yesterday and had the same issues : Had 100 FPS and drops to 50 on high settings, lowered all the settings to the lowest ,restarted the game and still had fps from 120-50( maybe max fps improved by 20 but still had fps drops under 60).
The things I have tried:
-Reinstalled Windows
-Reinstalled drivers for CPU and GPU drivers
-Ran the game as Administrator
-Disabled Full Screen Optimization
-Made sure laptop is running in High performance mode
-Disabled NVDIA laptop savings from NVDIA Geforce
-Disabled NVDIA Overlay
-Performed a clean boot
-Opened up the laptop to clear the fan from dust but I didn t apply thermal paste or whatever.
As for the Temperatures,the outside gets a bit hot,but defenetly not burning or anything. I checked the temperatures using MSI Afterburner and the GPU was at atound 70 degrees Celcius and as for the 8 cores of the processor some were around 70,some around 80.
I know my laptop is not the most powerful machine but I don t think I should be having trouble running these games if not at maximum at least at LOWEST settings,something is clearly wrong.
Thank you for the your time.
