Hi everyone,
I own an Asus Vivobook S15 S531FL. I sometimes game on it, usually Rocket League, but also other games. The laptop was definitely not designed for gaming, but it should run games like Rocket League pretty smoothly. I will leave the specs down.
The problem is after a couple of minutes into gaming, massive fps drops occur randomly. I start the first Rocket League game, the FPS ranges from 100-120, but after a couple of minutes, it will drop to 10-20fps constant with spikes even of 2-5fps. It looks like the screen is shaking/trembling when these drops happen.
I also checked the temperatures: CPU between 70-80 degrees, GPU between 60-70degrees. I consider these low temperatures for a laptop while gaming but correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is a video filmed with my phone while the problem occurs. The first few seconds it works like a charm, 100+ FPS and then suddenly only 10-20FPS. Link to the screen record
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80Ghz (8 CPUs), ~2.0Ghz
Memory: 16GB
Storage: 512GB SSD
Display: NVIDIA GeForce MX250 2GB (Dedicated) and Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (Integrated)
What I've already tried:
- Power Plan set to High performance
- Twitching Nvidia Control Panel settings
- Updating Nvidia Drivers
- Searching for Malware (not found)
- Various methods to improve fps
- and a lot of other methods which I can not remember right now...
I understand this laptop is not suitable for gaming, but it should handle a game like Rocket League (all graphics set on all/performance), and it does for a couple of minutes only.
As I mentioned this happens in a lot of other games, but maybe it's worth mentioning that not on Valorant. Valorant is a CPU-intensive game, so I figured the problem might not be the CPU.
I will also try cleaning it and applying new thermal paste, but since the warranty is still available I can't open it.
