Dealing with Sudden FPS Drops in Games
Asked by
GamerGal123
I'm experiencing severe FPS drops in every game I play, and these drops happen randomly, affecting not just my frame rate but even the sound. That said, my FPS is decent between these drops. My setup includes an RTX 4060 graphics card, an Intel i7-13620H processor, and 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, all running on Windows 11 with updated drivers. I'm starting to think my RAM might be insufficient, but I'm open to any other suggestions or solutions. I'd appreciate any help I can get!

Have you noticed if the FPS drops are sudden or more gradual? It's worth checking your CPU and GPU usage during gameplay to see what might be causing it. Sometimes, the game you're playing makes a difference too.

If you found that it's getting hot and thermal throttling is happening, you might want to look into cooling solutions. You can try cleaning out any dust from the fans, using a cooling pad, or even tweaking your settings to reduce heat. Glad I could help you pinpoint the problem!

Given that you're using a mobile 13th gen Intel processor, it’s likely thermal throttling is your issue. If your laptop gets hot while gaming, the core clock can drop to prevent overheating, which would definitely lead to those FPS drops. Just keep an eye on the temperature while gaming. How hot does it actually get?
