Posted May 25, 2017 I own a low spec Laptop with an i3 m 370 2.40Ghz , 6 GM ram , Radeon HD 4500 I used to play CS GO at 720p very low on 45 FPS but i got down to 800x480p instead for FPS and i got constant 70+ fps Now I am building a PC in summer so i thought i shall get a monitor because i will eventually need one and I hooked it up to my laptop and it got me lower fps (obviously) But the problem is that since I started using it with CS go my average FPS is also about 60-70 but i keep dropping to 30 for about 5 seconds mid game. I've had this problem without the monitor once but it went away after restarting the laptop but this time its not going to. I think this is a CPU problem but its not normal because its 800x480p so it doesn't make sense. Ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download HWmonitor or CPU-Z, you can also download the intel Xtreme tuning utility. It has some nice graphs that clearly show if you are thermal throttling.
