Lenovo y40-70 running games poorly

[Cameron Bianchi]

I have a lenovo y40-70 gaming laptop.It uses an AMD Radeon 275X 2gb and an i7 processor. When i first got it a year ago, it could run many triple A titles such as shadows of mordor at ultra settings at 30 fps. But now, it can barley run most games i have. It runs Ryse son of Rome at low settings at 15 fps and doom at low settings at 20 fps, and just cause 3 at low settings at 20 fps. I put all my games at high performance in the catalyst center and it still runs poorly. If anyone could let me know why this is happening and how i could fix it, that would be great.

nope not at all xD but if you really have no choice playing a game is still playing a game. cant complain from that really. but there is a serious problem in your laptop since a year ago it can go high - ultra as you have said. id be furious and really be looking for a fix there.

but i my old laptop an ASUS G51Vx with a core 2 duo -8700 CPU and a GTX 260M GPU could run at 1080p with good settings some very high and maxed out and other parts at medium with stable FPS after months of playing with it , it got slower. and it was because of heat issues for the GPU and CPU. so i really think your Laptop is suffering from heat problems

is there anyway to reverse/prevent this

i really didnt have a fix on my laptop so i sold it for a really cheap price to someone who doesnt game but wants a cool looking laptop at school. but you can try replacing the thermal paste on your GPU and CPU heat sinks its a tedious work but some people have said it did help with heat issues. back then i was really too scared to open up my laptop. so i didnt try it. other thing is clean the inside of your laptop. also if i may ask what is the full specs of your current laptop?

are there any stores that can relace the thermal paste for you? I really dont want to do it myself

it really depends on where you live, if you are in the US, i would guess there would be lots of retailers or stores that would do that for you.
