When I play games (mostly Overwatch) I get random fps drops for a while. From 90+ to 30 constant - though it feels like lower. I've checked the usage of both the integrated graphics and the dedicated graphics while gaming and when the game's running smoothly the dedicated gpu is high load and has temps between 65-75 degrees celsuis, and the integrated graphics have no load. However the fps drops randomly for varying periods of time. Checking back on task manager during these fps drops, the integrated graphics take the load and the dedicated graphics have little to no load. I'm not sure what the problem is.
I have tried such solutions as selecting my GTX 1050 in the nVidia Control Panel for the PhysX Processor, and changing setting the GTX 1050 as my global graphics processor and as the specific processor for the specific game. I have disabled XBox DVR and GeForce overlay - though I've had these disable even before the fps drops started happening. I've also tried uninstalling the GTX 1050 drivers and reinstalling - this worked for a little while but the fps drops came back eventually.
I think the fps drops started happening after I either updated the GTX 1050 drivers through the GeForce experience app or the Windows 10 creator update, though I'm not sure.
The fps drops tend to happen more frequently and more aggressively in Overwatch than other games. And when I tab out, my whole system lags as well.
My system is a Dell XPS 15 9560
i7 7700HQ
GTX 1050
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
