I'm getting fps drops to the single digits, while on average its around 30 fps. Even on lower settings and in smaller instances. my specs are:
- AMD Ryzen 7
- 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4
- 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
- 953GB Western Digital WDC PC SN730 SDBPNTY-1T00-1101
- 1863GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2T (Starfield's installed here)
Any help or insight is welcome.
Solved: It was an overheating CPU due to the vents being clogged with dust. Thanks for all the advice given, I do really appreciate it!
How's the heat on it? Using a PC (desktop) with slightly higher specs than yours, but no problems on High settings. Heavy framedrops like that could mean your CPU is getting throttled due to overheating (based on my old laptop which was a 960M and i5-6700HQ)
Similarly, what settings are you running at? I'm sitting on a 2060 Super (slightly above 2070 in power), and can't get it above high if I want more than 30fps.
So yeah, two biggest things are temps and settings.
After unclogging the ventholes and setting my laptop on a laptopstand, the CPU stays considerably coller and I haven't had any issues ingame. So thanks, I appreciate the help!
Fantastic mate, super glad it worked! Have fun!
I installed something to monitor the temperatures, and indeed my cpu is hovering between 90 and 100 degrees Celsius. Is there anything i can do about that? Maybe applying some fresh thermal paste?
Settings were the first thing I lowered to see if it had an impact, as it didnt make a difference i doubted that was the culprit.
