Question R6 siege and all other games drops to 10-15 fps every 10 seconds sometimes about 5 seconds

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

I have a laptop with a gtx 1060 gpu and a i7 8th gen intel cpu i have been noticing "device window manager" taking up cpu usage while i play games but to be honest every game i play pretty much unless it takes like nothing to run it has this problem... i have recently clean installed my gpu driver using ddu and following a tutorial and i have installed the latest cpu driver for my cpu yet this is still a problem please help me fix this... :/

Hey there,

Please list your full PC specs, including the exact model og CPU, GPU, Ram, Mobo, PSU, Case, No of fans.

I dont really know any of my components other than gpu and cpu... i can try to find the laptop model and you can see the components since you know what youre doing

You are possibly overheating. Make sure the vents are clear of any dust.

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

I have gotten the vents cleared not too long ago like 3 months from now and the laptop is I believe

" Asus ROG Strix Scar II GL704GM (i7-8750H, GTX 1060) "​

From 2018

I would check your temps as well. If you do not have software to do it already, you can use this. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Its around 80 when under pressure but its always been like that and has already been worse yet this started happening not too long ago

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Could it have to do anything with device window manager always taking up cpu ?

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Well I have just noticed the cpu and gpu hitting 90 after 10 minutes in game, but the freezes were happening before then ... is there anyway to cool down my computer without repasting or do i have to repaste to keep temps down?

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Could disabling gamedvr and gamebarpresencewriter resolve this problem ?

 

[logainofhades]

Is your windows install still the same as from when you bought it? A backup of everything you want to keep, and a clean install would be a good idea, if so.

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Actually i dont know.. i dont think it is since my mcaffee wont uninstall when i fully reset windows with erase everything option... how do i make sure to install windows with no nothing on it.? Cause im starting to think its malware... though i dont remember downloading anything remotely suspicious ... i cant check cause my mcaffee wont open and i cant redownload it cause i need to uninstall the old app and it wont want to. So how do i install an real fully clean windows ?

 

[logainofhades]

You can reinstall windows with a USB drive, and the Windows Media creation tool.

Ill do that and tell you if it works. Do you think me dropping to 15 fps for about 7 seconds every 15 or so seconds would be malware ? I also noticed that gpu goes up to 85 usage during the 7 seconds of fps loss ... could that be malware ?

 

[logainofhades]

Malware could be an issue.

That is often heat and/or power related.

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Do i have to buy a new plug for the computer or get it fixed ?

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

Since my computer does sit at a comfortable temperature for both gpu and cpu

What might have changed since all was well?
Possibly an app or malware was installed.
Perhaps a bad windows or driver update.

Look in your installed program list and see if there is anything installed recently, particularly something you do not recognize.
Uninstall it.

Do you have any apps that might be running at higher priority than your games?
Discord, streaming or...?

Use system restore to reset your pc back to a time when all was ok.
My canned response to laptop performance issues:
---------------------------
I see many complaints about gaming laptops not performing well.
Usually gaming while plugged in.
One common cause is thermal throttling.
Laptop coolers must, of necessity be small and light.
The coolers are also relatively underpowered.
If you run an app such as HWMonitor or HWinfo, you will get the current, minimum, and maximum cpu temperatures. Set to see each individual core.
For intel processors, if you see a max of 100c. in red, it means you have throttled.
I think the number for ryzen is more like 85c-90c.
The cpu will lower it's multiplier and power draw to protect itself until the situation reverses.
At a lower multiplier, your cpu usage may well be at 100%
What can you do?
First, see that your cooler airways are clear and that the cooler fan is spinning.
Use a windows balanced power profile, not the performance profile.
Set a minimum cpu performance to something like 20%

It is counter-intuitive, but, try changing the windows balanced power profile advanced functions to a max of 90% instead of the default of 100%
You may not notice the reduced cpu performance.

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

My computer is pretty well cooled it stays around 70 for both gpu and cpu during "heavy" gaming. I think power is the issue because while im playing some games my laptop loses some percentage even though im plugged in... how would i be able to fix that problem? P.S: i will try the balanced profile when the computer finises installingthe clean window install.

 

[logainofhades]

You would need to get a new power brick, if the current one is not keeping up.

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

I will thanks 🙏 ill keep updated on it if it makes a difference

 

[Shellyorch0mpn_]

do i buy any power brick with the same plug that can go into my computer or do i have to buy one for my specific laptop ?

You will need one that has a compatible plug, and has at least the same wattage you have now.
