Hey guys, I've recently been experiencing frame drops while gaming. I've tested it in several games, and it's been happening in all of them and started around a week ago (it's worked fine prior). For example in WarThunder, I'd get the FPS I'd normally get (~80), and then it would gradually start to drop to ~40. It'll then spike down to ~20 fps for around half a minute, and then go back to my normal FPS. It then repeats the cycle. My laptop specs is pretty much this and are as follows:
-CPU: Intel i7-7700 HQ
-GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Max-Q 8 gb
-RAM: x2 16 gb DDR4 @ 2400 MHz
Some things I've tried:
-Ensured computer was not throttling - it has been repasted and undervolted before and I've only started experiencing this recently
-Updated to latest NVIDIA drivers
-Rerolled and clean installed to previous NVIDIA drivers
-Set Window's power option to "High Performance"
-Set NVIDIA control panel's power management mode to "Prefer Maximum Performance"
-Set preferred graphics processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor"
-Scanned computer for viruses/malware
I've also monitored these performance drops on MSI Afterburner and can be found here. The ~20 fps drops happens at the vertical yellow lines.
