Laptop lag only when gaming

[jovanlim7]

I recently bought my laptop about 3 months ago ( Acer Swift 3). I was able to play games on my laptop without any issue for quite some time but recently, my laptop would start to run very slow when im gaming. However, when I am not gaming, my laptop is working fine. My internet connection is also working fine. This happens even when I am playing other games.

Run HWMonitor.

Gaming puts a load on the cpu, driving up the temperatures.
If your cooling is not good, the cpu will throttle.
The likely cause would be dust or obstruction in the cooling vents.
