Question My Gaming Laptop Doesn't Work as it Used to

[Biupax]

Hi.
I have a Asus ROG GL552VW gaming laptop. it has a Nvidia GeForce 960m - 16GB Ram. When i bought it i installed Doom with High setting in 1080p and i played it with 40 fps and it was fine. Now 3 years passed and i upgraded all of my drivers and my windows to build 1809. when i play my game now it runs at 17 fps and game setting is on medium. I don't know what's happening to my Laptop. it's Normal or there's something wrong ?

The Things i Tried :

• Upgraded Everything (Display - Audio - Bios - Window & ... )
• Disabled GameDVR
• I don't have any antivirus, only window defender
• Put my pc on High Performance
• Get rid of unnecessary services and startups
• All of My Games Run With Nvidia GeForce 960m not Integrated

Games FPS's :
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Very LOW - 720p - 14-21 fps
Metro Exodus - very LOW - 768p - 18-24 fps
Far Cry New Dawn - very LOW - 720p - 14-21 fps
GTA V - High - 1080p - 45-50 fps (Very Smooth)

You're sure that the NVidia GPU is being utilized (fully)? Those FPS more closely resemble Intel iGPU performance.

Yes I'm sure i monitored my performance. Plus nvidia in-game overlay activates when it's using gpu, and global settings are on high performance gpu

What are your NVidia clocks and utilization percentage looking like? Also, which NVidia driver version are you running - and which others have you tried, if any?

My Nvidia Utilization precentage is on 96% to 100% and my CPU is 25% 3/14 Ghz while playing APEX LEGENDS
My Driver version is 419.17 I haven't tried lower versions, i update every time there's a new one available

Temperatures maybe the factor, or your hdd is full and not so much available for swapping?
Do any of the other games perform badly?

Older games like mass effect 3 and l.a noire and gtav works fine. But new games like shadow of tomb raider, mass effect Andromeda, AC Odyssey are so laggy.
I use coolpad for my laptop temperature seems fine.
My HDD has 125 GB Free but also i tried installing my game on my SSD Hard Drive. Same Result.
Actually there's something odd happening when im playing tomb raider, its on 17fps but when i click on windows button and game minimizes then open the game again, it's on 50fps and fully working for 2 second and then it's on 17fps again

Can you run the games in Windows rather than full screen to see if that makes a difference?

Your CPU load should be much higher, closer to what your GPU utilization is. If you're seeing ~25% CPU usage in other games exhibiting the same problem, I think that's your issue.

Side note: Windows Defender reportedly has a much higher impact on system resources than many third party anti-virus applications (not that that is your problem here).

Same result. No Difference

If that's it, what you recommend to do ?
I tried with ESET NOD32 and it was the same.
I Got New Information From GPU-Z

is it possible that my GPU is outdated ?
i guess it's not a bad specs for playing games, but i have to deal with it
i think it can run games in proper 30fps
