is my refurbished nvidia gt 750m degrading or getting worse?

[Lemarsghast]

I have a Alienware 14 and i play Starcraft 2 HOTS at max settings at 57fps. But recently, it got so much worse that i can only play at 19fps at LOWEST SETTINGS. Is my refurbished gt 750m degrading? Please help. Thanks

Hi, did you check your energy settings? Maybe it is in power-saver mode, and using lower clocks.

My energy setting is high performance, but thank you for your suggestion.

Hi, did you check the temps? it may be overheating, therefore running slowler. Take a look also the energy settings in the nvidia control panel.

my temps are around 52 degrees C and i have the latest drivers installed. And nvidia control panel settings are set to the lowest.
