GPU performance drops for notebooks?

[Kirikoza]

ROG G750JM laptop, it's 2 years old (coming up on 3) and the framerate isn't looking so hot. Within the first year it ran CS:GO over 300 FPS (Before I knew that I should frame limit) but now it can barely run it at 120, let alone 100. After a LOT of software and hardware issues specifically dealing with storage and my multiple attempts at using a successful operating system between multiple versions of windows and linux, my new consistent framerate among all operating systems is around 200. It's not that big of a problem with CSGO, but most games I own (specifically bigger games) suffered from 10% - 60% drop in consistent framerate. I like running big Minecraft modpacks and while my PC used to be able to chew through a 250+ mod modpack, it can barely get through my new one at 50 fps. (inconsistent of course as generating new chunks drops my rate down to 20) I just want my old performance back. I have a brand new hard drive in my system, I upgraded to 12 GB of Ram, yes I have all of my drivers installed and up-to-date (not that it would matter too much considering the frame drop persists in Linux as well) As far as physically the computer doesn't get any warmer than it used to nor does it make any weird sounds, although it wouldn't hurt if I open it up and clean it out sometime soon.

 

As far as I can tell there's no software problems or hardware problems. Does anyone know what up with this performance drop?

Are you running the latest drivers? You should revert them to an old version, see if that helps.

 

Also there might be thermal issues if you've never dusted / replaced thermal paste on your laptop's innards in the last 3 years. Try some dusting and repasting if you haven't.

Yes and no. I won't go back to old drivers because old drivers don't support new games. Old Nvidia dislikey minecraft.

I stated that the computer gets no hotter than it did when I first got it and said that I will be doing that soon, but for now what could be other causes.

 

-Drivers not a problem

-Heat doesn't SEEM to be a problem but could be idfk.

Have you taken into account the CS:GO/minecraft updates?

I said most of my games have experienced frame drops not to mention most of the time i'm running older versions of MC anyway so updates don't matter either.

new gpu driver mixed in with old minecraft might be a problem
