Solved! Below 30fps on all games

[icalico]

Hi!

I have a major issue. I’m currently using an Asus rog strix gl553vd which was working really well in the beginning. I was running games such as Squad, Rainbow six siege, and gta v on high graphic settings and I was still able to run 90fps.

After using the laptop for a few months I’ve started to experience a major issue, NONE of my games can run higher than 60fps (if I even reach 60 that is). Most of the time I’m only able to run 10-30fps, I mean even fortnite is stuck on 20fps. I’ve tried a lot of things such as changing settings in the nvidia control panel and putting all games to the lowest quality but my fps would still not move past 60 I mean 95% of the time I will be stuck below 30fps. I’ve also tried all the battery settings but nothing changed. I don’t know what to do I’ve tried a bunch of different things and I’m on the verge of giving up on the laptop just throwing it away (but since it is a 1000$+ pc I’m not ready to go there YET).

What do I do? I’m not that good at computers so even a dummy solution would be good, thank you!

Have you tested it with any software or tried video rendering with video editing applications? What I mean is, Do you experience this problem in applications other than games?

@Raz_Crimson I’ve only experienced the issue in games, not outside them.

Bad Drivers or Excessive throttling from heat should be the only issues you should be having with a laptop that new.

1. Set the power plan to Always on when plugged into the Wall.
2. Check Heat https/openhardwaremonitor.org/ Download and install Open Hardware Monitor and run it while you game.
3. Purge drivers and use Nvidia's tool to autodetect and update.

(This is straight from Nvidia)
Driver files should always be uninstalled before updating to newer drivers or when removing an older NVIDIA card and replacing it with a newer card. To uninstall your current NVIDIA Display Drivers from your system, follow these steps:

1) Go into your Control Panel
2) Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon
3) Select the NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers from the list of programs.
4) Click Change/Remove or Add/Remove button.
5) Confirm with Windows that you wish to continue with the uninstall

Note: A prompt appears asking whether you want to delete all of the saved
nView profiles.
If you click Yes, all of the nView software and all of your saved
profiles will be deleted.
If you click No, the nView software is removed, but the profile files
are saved in the Windows\nView directory on your hard disk. If you take advantage of the nView profiles, you may wish to keep your custom nView profiles.

Once the driver files have uninstalled, Windows will request that you restart your computer to complete the uninstallation.

Geforce Experience should automatically download and configure the drivers for you.
