I'm experiencing frame drops on my gaming laptop when I connect it to my 2K monitor, even when playing less demanding games. I'm using a USB-C display adapter. Is there any way to resolve this or at least limit the frame drops?

You should check if your USB-C port actually supports video output and the necessary bandwidth. Not all USB-C ports have the same capabilities, so that's a key step in troubleshooting this issue.

Additionally, try adjusting the resolution and refresh rate settings of your monitor in the display settings. Sometimes lowering the resolution or refresh rate can help stabilize performance.
