Massive FPS drops

[PepesKush]

So since about 1 week i have been experiencing massive fps drops from having 200 fps in a game to having around 20-25 and it's very inconsistent so every 5 seconds it goes from high to low to high. I have a gaming laptop (ASUS TUF Gaming FX504GM-E4219T). 

 

these are the specs:

GeForce GTX 1060

Intel Core i7 8750H @2.20ghz

16gb

256gb SSD

1tb HDD.

 

I have literally no clue why this is happening and its happening in every game (CS:GO, Apex Legends, League of Legends) 

If someone knows something that might help me please let me know

 

EDIT: My pc also usually gets really hot really quickly between like 85-90 degrees Celsius.

Cpu throttling?

what are your cpu temps

Go to the manufacturer’s website and update your drivers.  Sounds like it could be an issue with NVidia or Intel control panel/command center.  I’ve had a similar issue in the past when I rolled back my GPU drivers and somehow it corrupted my control panel driver.  Also verify the storage capacity on your SSD.  Good luck!

This was done through a link provided by the program dialogue once I selected the control panel from Windows.  GeForce Experience said it was downloaded and didn’t rewrite the file and I was forced to go through the Microsoft store on Windows 10 Pro.

my SSD has like 50 gb so thats fine and my drivers are fully up-to-date. do you think it could help if i remove the drivers completely and reinstall?

Absolutely.  Try to download the drivers then overwrite/repair if possible.  Also, adjusting the NVidia control panel 3D settings can help improve FPS without adding risk through educated modifications of bios.

Yep, it's heavily throttled

I have the i7 8750H too and when it reaches 80ºC I can feel it throttling a lot

Just undervolt it and you'll be fine

how do i do this? i have MSI Afterburner atm
