So I've noticed over the past 6 months my laptop FPS while gaming is absolute trash. I can't play Diablo 4 without lag and audio studder, on the lowest possible graphic settings. In Retail WoW I'm on level 4 graphics (which is pretty low). I can play Phasmophobia usually okay, but again I've noticed low FPS drops occasionally with recent updates.

When Diablo 4 first game out, I could play on max graphics with no issues. What's going on here? I would do some RAM upgrading if possible, but from what I researched if its a bad GPU, I can't simply replace it.

Why is my Predator Helios failing me now? I get it's 3 years old, but I never thought it would tank this hard so fast. I'm a sad panda today.

Predator Helios 300 PH317-54-70Z5 w/ Core™ i7-10750H, 16GB, 1TB SSD, 17.3in Full HD 144Hz IPS, GeForce RTX 2070, Win 10 Home
