Huge FPS drops | Helios 300

idleguy1337

Hello everyone.. 

So I got this laptop in October and I never had any fps drop unless game had bad optimisation, but last few month I'm having huge FPS drops on games like MGSV: The Phantom Pain, Dishonored 2, Overwatch.. 

On Dishonored 2 I had around 52-60 fps on ultra settings but I played that game today and I had less than 50, sometimes it went below 25-30..
On MGSV I never had any fps drops, not even once but now I'm having less than 55, even though this game is most GPU friendly.. 

any solution ?

Root cause my friend. All these games that you play are on Steam. Do me a favour and alt tab the game and check the task manager. One outside the box thinking here suggests that we're dealing with a process eating your CPU usage. In this case, identify the process and let me know and I'll let you know of it is terminatable and I'd also confirm if this is the reason. 

Other considerations are your Hard Disk write usage, a program eating up your CPU or Ram or/and overheating. Anything can be certain if I can see a log of your Task Manager. Once you open your task manager and sort the CPU usage and disk usage and you'll find the culprit man. 

I'll answer ASAP if not, "Kept you waiting huh!"

Can we contact on Facebook if you got one? I'll send pics there... 

Thanks for response.

P.S. I've read that reference in Old Snake's voice :')  

I went offline Yesterday. Perhaps you can share what you've found out here I mean the process which was eating up your computer's CPU/Ram usage. Also glad that you've understood the reference here man.
