Sudden low fps and cpu usage in all games

Hi Alexandra Solomonidou，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



It seems like you are experiencing sudden low FPS and CPU usage while playing games on your laptop. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Power settings: Ensure that your laptop is set to high-performance mode and not on power-saving mode. Sometimes, power-saving settings can limit the performance of your CPU and GPU.
   
2. Graphics card settings: Check your NVIDIA control panel settings and make sure the games are set to use the dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti) instead of the integrated graphics. You can usually access the control panel by right-clicking on your desktop.
   
3. Temperature monitoring: Monitor the temperature of your CPU and GPU while gaming. Overheating can lead to performance issues. Use software like MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to check the temperatures and ensure that they are within safe limits. If the temperatures are too high, consider cleaning the laptop's cooling system or using a cooling pad.
   
4. Background processes: Even if you don't have any obvious background apps running, some processes may still be consuming system resources. Check the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and close any unnecessary applications or processes that might be running in the background.
   
5. Windows updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date with the latest updates and patches. Sometimes, outdated operating systems can cause compatibility issues with games.
   
6. Game settings: Verify that the in-game settings are optimized for performance. Lower graphics settings such as resolution, anti-aliasing, shadows, and textures can help improve FPS.
   
7. Reinstalling games: If the issue persists, try reinstalling the games that are experiencing low FPS. Sometimes, game files can become corrupted, leading to performance problems.
   

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be worth contacting the technical support of the games you are experiencing problems with or reaching out to the manufacturer of your laptop for further assistance.



Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.

Sudden drop in fps while gaming

So I play this game called VALORANT on my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop which is about more than a year old and for a few weeks I am experiencing sudden frame drops while playing. It runs fine for a few moments and then again I experience the frame drops. I tried turning off my background processes like discord and it works fine then but with any background process running I experience the same issue. Usually I get around 180-200 fps but when I experience drop it comes down to 90 or lower. I have run the ram test and also checked my cpu usage while playing and it looked normal. It will be very helpful if someone has any solution for this. Thank you.

Ryzen 7 4800H

Sudden FPS drop/Stutter

Since 2 days ago, I just turned on my Computer, and it starting having issues while I was playing Witcher 3 (starts with decent fpsm and then very low fps, dropping to 35, then 20, and stopping at 12 or so, in a matter of seconds, in a matter of 1min of starting the game), also stuttering without any high demanding programs, randomly. I was playing at 45-60 fps, without any stutters or sudden fps drop. Have tried other games the issue persists. Even setup everything to low settings.
I have ran several tests with several tools, all seems normal, no sudden memory spikes, or temperature raising out of the ordinary, nothing that would indicate such an fps drop or stuttering.

MSI Afterburner

I also did the reset option on Windows10, completly cleaned out all my personal info from the windows partition.
So at this point, I am not sure if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Edit: I kept doing some tests to find out the issue. And this happened before and I was able to replicate it. Same thing happened as before, till I set it up to fullscreen, Alt+Tab from the game and then back to the game, FPS went up to 50 again, stable and good, dropped after a couple of seconds. After a bit it went to 2-5 fps, and I had to shutdown the game, because even the sound was getting messed up.

MSI Afterburner 2

In this image those ups and downs in the GPU usage are when the fps dropped really hard and the sound got messed up.
