Hello,i have a toshiba laptop and sometimes when i'm bored i play sa-mp(gta san andreas multiplayer).I have 80 fps almost all the time but after one or two hours of playing my fps drops at 16-20 and then come back at 80.
My specs are :
Intel quad-core : 2,53 ghz
4gb ram
intel hd graphics
windows 7 64-bits
(ik it's kinda weak but i can run league of legends with everything on high except shadows and i still have somewhere around 100fps in teamfights)
What can i do to stop those fps drops?
 
Hi,

Some causes of these fps drops would be heat and driver problems. Have you tried checking the temps of your laptop while playing?
- Start by doing a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Here's a quick guide on how to do this:

- For Intel Drivers you can download from this link:

- Once installed reboot your laptop for all the changes to take effect.
- If the same problem will persist I would suggest cleaning the inside of your laptop and applying new thermal paste on it as well.
 
What are temperatures when you're playing? Maybe you just entered location where are higher number of players, or also modified buildings and mods.
