Acer Aspire 5 laptop- FPS are below average

its_toru

Hello guys! I have an Acer Aspire 5 laptop with core i5 11th gen, 8gb DDR4 ram, and a Nvidia Geforce Mx330. However, I am getting 25fps and lower while playing League of Legends. My cousin have a lower end version of my laptop (Acer Aspire Lite 14 i3 no gpu) but he’s having 100+fps stable. I checked the Nvidia control panel and the Vsync is off, so does the Max Frame Rate. I only play League in medium settings. It's happening in other games too, like Valorant which I think my laptop could at least give out 90fps stable. I don't know I'm new to this thing and I have been searching for solution nonstop. Please help

It has been reported in many threads that the Aspire has a lot of overheating/throttling issues. Things you can do:

Re-apply a good thermal place (liquid metal). If this is daunting, then just go do points 2 to 4 instead.
Use a laptop cooler underneath.
Turn up the air condition or game in an airconditioned room.
Turn down the graphics setting of your games - you suffer some detail, but you get smoother FPS.
Remember that the GPU on laptop is a subpar version of it’s desktop sibling. So if a game’s recommended specs for a max setting is for an RTX3060 which you laptop has, put the settings at mid to lower.
