FPS Permanent Drop after playing for about 10 mins.

[Bertybertbert]

Starting off, I have a Lenovo T420, i know it's not very good for gaming so no need to say so. You can search for the specs online,

except some have nvidia optimus, which i dont and i only have the integrated hd graphics (yes i do know it's pretty bad.)

i played on a Dell Latitude E6420 with the same gpu and an almost the same cpu.

the game provided is Counter-Strike: GO. the problem is that when i played in the Dell, i didnt get the fps drop i am talking about. i had flat 50 fps there and in this machine i have 60 then after playing a while i get 30 or lower.

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

Problem also occurs on other games

Hi,

Please do try doing a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Nvidia Graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to Nvidia.
- Once the driver was completely uninstalled, download and install the latest driver.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- After the reboot do also make sure to set Nvidia as the default GPU.

I'm sorry but I have stated that the BIOS did not display such GPU assuming the integrated HD Graphics (Intel HD 3000) is the only one available.

Different laptops, different results, might check for a new BIOS or mobo drivers to see if they will help any.

is there a way to see if i actually have the nvidia optimus display? because it's not on my device manager list, could this be because i dont have the driver installed?

edit: done, i've tried to install nvidia optimus graphics driver, nothing appeared obv., so that option is unavailable.

Help is no longer needed, thank you for replying in this thread, the cause of the said fps drops is because of thermal throttling.
