Huge Dota 2 and TF2 FPS Drop

dabossofbf · Jul 20, 2015

Hi!
I have an Toshiba C855-2GJ PSKCEE Laptop.
It has very respectable graphics card and CPU (I can run BF3 at 30-40 even 60 FPS)
I decided to play Dota 2 on it.
I am used to get 100FPS in Dota at High detail models, 1280x720 resolutin with unselected checkboxes (vsync, AA, shadows, high quality water, and others ).
When I enter in battle everything is fine but after 10-30 seconds the FPS drops suddenly from 100 to 20 and lower !

TF2 has the same issue

I tried everything to keep it running at 100 fps.
I stopped steamwebhelper.exe using steamwebhelperkiller.bat
I installed Game Booster 3.
I DONT HAVE ANY VIRUSES !
I defragmented HDD. I even set Dota to run at lowest settings possible and I still have 20 FPS in drop from 100

I request help mates !
Please!

Thank you for your answers.

What are the temps while playing the games?

dabossofbf · Jul 20, 2015

@velo3100
50 degrees celsius for CPU and around 40-55 for GPU.
I replaced the thermal paste to see if it will work.

I cleaned the cooler and the motherboard of the laptop using my vaccum ...

Have you downloaded the latest drivers? Another thing is that it maybe using the igpu. Try changing the settings to use the dgpu instead in the graphics card control panel. Another thing maybe is that your power supply may not be giving enough power to the cpu and gpu that is making it slower.

I think dota 2 has a max fps. Cause i get like 60 max on dota 2 with all high i got 960

I have the lastest Catalyst driver m8s !
My laptop has all the drivers installed (the latest ones).
I really take care of my toy

velo3100 :

My laptop came with its battery charger and I still use it and it is always connected to laptop.
And all the latest drivers are installed m8!

velo3100 · Jul 21, 2015

Maybe the battery charger is faulty? You will know if it is as you can check the voltage when playing games and then compare it to what the manufacturer says it should be when it is in load. The other thing I can think of is that the wifi module may not be that good in the laptop as dota 2 is an online game. Is your ping good while playing?

dabossofbf · Jul 21, 2015

velo3100 :

I have a constant 100 ping in dota in all matches I play (more exactly 99ms).

What startup and background processes do you have?

How much ram useage do you get while playing the game?

dabossofbf · Jul 23, 2015

velo3100 :

About 75% RAM Used

velo3100 · Jul 23, 2015

Thats your reason. Try upgrading the ram and see if it makes any difference.

dabossofbf · Jul 23, 2015

I will try.
Now I have 4GB 1600Mhz RAM.
I will put 4 more to have 8GB RAM @1600Mhz .

did it work?

dabossofbf · Aug 15, 2015

Upgrading the RAM gave me like 10-20 more FPS, but still drops

RedLight Bogdan-Alin · Aug 15, 2015

i have like constant 120 and then after i alt tab or just doing nothing i get this 120-20 fps drop every 5 seconds

velo3100 · Aug 16, 2015

Have you scanned the hdd for bad sectors?

RedLight Bogdan-Alin · Aug 16, 2015

velo3100 · Aug 16, 2015

Have you checked the voltages while playing these games?

RedLight Bogdan-Alin · Aug 16, 2015

https://gyazo.com/abb89321df49cec7f56638dc734f25da here you go. Note : gpu max temp is like 71 and cpu 50

RedLight Bogdan-Alin · Aug 16, 2015

i've tryed to paly some WACRAFT 3 TFT (very old game with huge less req ) and IT DOES THE SAME..i still have high fps and then i get 10 fps

velo3100 · Aug 16, 2015

Have you tried cleaning out any junk like cache as this can slow down gameplay as it is on the hdd and takes longer to read.

Or if that doesn't work try refreshing the pc. Make sure you back all your data before you do this as this often gets rid of the programs that you use. This should make the laptop back to normal.

If this doesn't work try find the latest bios version as this may help.

If this doesn't work then I am really not sure.

RedLight Bogdan-Alin · Aug 16, 2015

i did everything,even installed fresh new windows ..could it be the psu ? but i dont understand why i get this in such a low game that req 32mb GPU 128 RAMS..could it be something broken ? Like my gpu or HDD ?
