I have a "gaming" laptop with a Geforce GTX 860M. I always make sure I keep it updated. I say gaming with quotation marks because I can't play games anymore at high graphics without significant frame drops.
Ex. Rise of the Tomb Raider, I was able to play at High (I believe Ultra was the highest). with no screen freezes in 2015. It's now 2018 and I cannot run the same settings without my screen stuttering and freezing. (I do not game very often so for me, it was a sudden change)
Now, I'm trying to play PvE on Fortnite and I can't play unless it is the absolute lowest settings and even then, it is unbearable.
I have tried cleaning my C: drive, and clearing the fan of debris, I'm not sure what else I can do (without taking my laptop apart). I believe I've done most of what has been said in other threads on the topic.
Any advice?
