Laptop graphic issue

[VAH]

Hi guys, i have an old laptop asus g501vw with i7 6700hq and 960m 4Gb

I have really weird issue, in benchmarks   i see games for example red dead 2 running at 40fps on average low settings at 1080p but mine even can't run it at 10fbs(lowest setting 720p)

Its not just this game, in every game i have this problem, 

First i though it's because of the temp but it wasn't, my gpu run at 80c in games so i put it in the freezer and tried again, Nothing, the temp was 60c but the fbs didn't change at all

Tried to update drivers and everything and nothing did got better

What can i do about it???

 

(My GPU load is 99%)

Try with higher fan speeds, idk if afterburner works for your laptop. As you might know, clock speeds is adjusted relative to temperature. Set a higher temp and power target. Might also try with older drivers optimized for 900 series. Don't put the laptop in the freezer and heat it up after. Water wapor could form on hot parts inside. You could also check thermal paste and thermal pads and change if dried.

You might have software slowing down your computer, especially an older laptop like that.

 

Open task manager and go to the startup tab, and disable everything. That way, nothing opens when you start windows. Try running games in this condition.

Older Laptops often have the Issue of Dust inside the heatsink, bad thermalpaste and thermalthrottle.

You could check the frequencies and Powerusages of CPU and Gpu with HWInfo for example and compare that to the specs.

Also you should check for like "Eco-Modes". those drastically reduce the powerlimit resulting in bad performance.

I actually did changed the thermal paste but nothing changed, i found out its a heat problem and gpu clock will drop to 405mhz from 1200mhz after it reaches 80 degree

I don't know how can i change this limit i tried msi afterburner but it would not work on my laptop

There is nothing i can do in bios setting either

My laptop is Asus G501vw

Do you know anything that i can do to change these limits?

Cpu temp limit is 92 and gpu is 81 then it would throttle 

(I do use throttle stop for cpu and it works well but in games gpu get too warm)
