Question Sudden FPS drop ?

[Nope_2001]

When I connected my laptop to an external screen, the fps in games suddenly drop from 60+ fps down to 3-4 fps. This happens every few minutes or so. I have tried all the fixes, from changing system files to updating graphics drivers. Can someone assist me with this issue?



System specs:

RTX 3060 6GB
16 GB ram
Refresh rate: 144 Hz
Windows 11

Hey there,

We need a little more info. What exact make/model laptop do you have? What model is your external monitor?

Have you tried the Omen Gaming hub? Under perforamnce control. Chang it to performance mode, and see if it changes anything.

I already try that as well, also changing the graphic setting to discrete and power plan to high performance.

Have you tried using Throttlestop? You can run it beside a hard task and see if there's some throttling happening with your CPU. It will tell you if the CPU is throttling and for what reason. It even has a built in benchmark to help.

Apparently, when the fps in my games suddenly take a nose dive, throttlestop has a warning indicator show BD pro. What does that mean? All my temperatures were below 88 degrees as well.

Quick google search and BD pro indicator means it is a thermal issue causing the throttle on the CPU.
When you are gaming do you have both the laptop and external monitor on? I would try turning the laptop screen off.
Your laptop screen is 1440p 144hz so having two of them on might be causing overworking your CPU.
Give it a try and let us know.

BiDirectional Processor hot (BD Prochot) is the temp set by Intel, or lapto manufacturers, so that when the CPU hits a certain temp it will downclock/throttle to reduce temps.

For example. My Omen 15 has a Prochot of 97c, so it won't throttle until hit hits that temp or other limits (PL1, PL2)
