Random FPS drops with intensive games

[Guest]

Hello! I have an alienware 17 r3 specs:
i7-6700HQ
16GB ram
GTX 980M

And I've had this computer for a while now and recently playing games like PUBG or COD BO3 (it's what I've been playing recently) I play super smooth 60+fps but randomly sometimes I get fps drops to 30fps or worse on PUBG like 15 or 17 and it's unplayeable and don't know the issue, I also play Rocket League on 100fps stable and never drop a frame, so it must be with more intensive games, please help!

If you haven't changed your main "gaming" GPU from the Nvidia Control Panel or your Power Options, you should. For the Nvidia setting go to: Control Panel -> Nvidia Control Panel, select "Manage 3D Settings" and on the "Preferred Graphics Proccessor" dropdown menu, select "High-performance Nvidia Proccessor". Then go to "Set PhysX Configuration" and select "GTX 950(M?)" for your PhysX processor. Then for the Power options, go to Control Panel -> Power Options, click on "Show additional plans" and click on the "High Performance" option

Just configured it and about to play some games to test it out, why is that not a default setting?

Yeah that worked, as soon as I started playing I noticed the improvement, it's such a huge difference, WHY IS THIS NOT SET AS DEFAULT!?!?! hahaha

Nevermind, it's a lot smoother, but it's still doing it
