first of all my laptop is not a gaming one so its just a typical laptop. specs are
LAPPY: MSI FX420
PROC: INTEL PENTIUM B940 = 2.00Ghz
RAM: DDR3 = 2GB
GPU: MOBILITY RADEON HD 7400m = 1GB
OS: windows7 changed to WINDOWS 8 64-bit (just testing things out)
1yr old laptop. been playing NBA 2k13 at a consistent 50 - 52 fps at low/medium(custom) settings. havent had any drops before but a few weeks ago ive been having this weird drops like after 2mins in the game or so and the fpsdrop = 20fps would last about 4mins. worse than that is that it happens also in other games such as L4D2, COD Black ops(take note im not running them at max settings only at low to medium) . same scenario happens, fps drops after about a minute!! and i dont think my temps would go up that fast in a minute. also experimented on vsync. when off, i could see screen tearing, when on runs smooth at 50 fps. but still.. on or off still gets the fps drops. but when i play for example nba 2k13 blacktop. like 1 on 1 on a streetball court. i can even max my settings without even getting any drops and still running at 50fps. so im kinda thinking it maybe an overload? i notice lag spikes when playing full court 5 on 5 with nosebleeds camera angle everytime i cross halfcourt there would be a lag spike or something. i know my laptop aint shit but i just want to know whats causing this kind of drops in the GPU for my further knowledge.
i dont know whats causing this. so any help would be appreciated. thank you in advance.
things i did:
1. UPDATED / ROLLBACK CATALYST drivers
uninstalled using driversweeper etc. using the most stable one right now.
2. defrag harddisk, clean registry
3. checked my CPU and GPU Temps when fps drops occurs. GPU at 73 and CPU at 66
4. no antivirus, other processes running
