Red-Sand said:Might I ask what overclocking software your using? I know the 1060 mobile chip doesn't hit 1800-1900 clock speeds out of box.

Diabolic89 said:Just got this laptop and already having issues. I noticed my fps would randomly plummet on games and noticed it was because my GPU clock drops from 1800-1900 mhz to around 100mhz.. Wondering if i should return it and get a new one?
1. Reduce FPS to what your screen supports - if its max is 60 Hz, limit fps to 60 and turn on vsync.
2. Try using an external usb fan and increasing your laptop height to about an inch from the surface it is placed on.
3. Turn off visual elements in game that push processor without making noticeable difference visually.
These should help reduce temps significantly and reduce GPU temps rising up.

It just happened 2 times within 5 minutes. So frustrating. I'm about to just get a refund.0

When you reinnstall the Nvidia driver are you selecting "perform clean install" from custom installation? Could be a conflict of an old setting lingering.
Also have you tried setting graphics to their absolute minimum to test? (You mentioned high gpu usage results in drops)
Made sure it's not a network issue?
I see a lot of complaints about the servers on Blizzard currently. If a network lag were to happen the GPU would also downclock since its not being information to load.
Is WOW the only game with the issue?- Hotel Hero0 -

Very strange bro..
Try installing Intel chipset, Intel AHCI and Turbo Boost drivers from Acer's website.
I know Windows 10 auto updated all of them.
Realtek too if you got time although that only really effects undervolting if your having an issue there. (Windows updated realtek messes up sleep state)- Hotel Hero0 -

How often does it happen?
Whats the time span between lags?- Hotel Hero0 -
I will try to download and reinstall all drivers directly from acer but if it doesnt help then i dont know what i will do0
-
The time span is random.... Sometimes every 5 minutes sometimes every 10..0
-
I dont know if im right but i think that overvoltaging a gpu could solve it... But i need to find the safest option or if somebody knows it it please help me0
-
I made a GPU undervolt/overclock video.
The lesser voltage used causes clock speeds to be maintained much higher and don't dip.
