When i just got my laptop it could run Battlefield 1 with max graphics at 60 fps. Now it runs battlefield 1 with lowest graphics at 12 - 42 fps! what the heck! i am pretty mad aswell that my pc runs New vegas at Ultra graphics at 30 or so fps.




device specifications

INTEL(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ 960m
2,60GHz 2,59GHz
8GB Ram (7,85 GB Usable)

64-bit based OP x64 based processor

Are you sure that's the same model number? Asus usually changes the model number when they upgrade to a new generation of CPU/GPU. Are you sure it isn't this one?

Because that one matches your specs and does appear to have switchable graphics, meaning you might be running off the iGPU (if things aren't switching properly) which would explain your low performance.

What? I don't know what you're doing, but several people including myself have made suggestions, please follow those directions and report back.

Download hwinfo64, run it, (check the "sensors only" box when it launches), scroll through the list to find CPU core temperatures, and GPU temperature and utilization for the GTX 960m. Run a game or benchmark and see what the maximum values for these sensors are. Also, ensure your laptop is plugged in and charged while doing so.
