Overwatch FPS dropping

[XeanWolf20]

So I laptop that has a 7700HQ, 1070, and it gets like 200+FPS then drops to 60, it was being capped at 60 and it didn't happen, I'm thinking something is forcing it to 60 then realizing it shouldn't be.

I have Vsync off in game, on the Nvidia experiance thing, GameDVR is off and gameBar. I still don't know why it's doing it any help please?

Ok so update, tried something if i capped it ingame at 60 it would stay at 60 and be fine, if i went to 120 it would be fine too, when i went to 144 then it dipped to 60, when i make it cap to 143 it doesn't drop?????????????????????????????

Its probably temperature or power throttling.

Temps are fine, in the 70s and power is fine, it's pluged in

You could try getting rid of Geforce Experience, DDU your drivers and do a clean install with the latest drivers from nvidia.

 

Also, you didn't post what laptop (or external display) you've got, but do you play on a screen that support a higher refresh rate? Otherwise why not limit the it to 143 FPS if that solves the problem?

I had this issue and temps "looked fine" but the problem went away after re-pasting the cpu/gpu.  Bad contact in a small area was creating a hot spot on the chip that was not registering in hardware monitoring but it was still tripping the turbo temp limit.
