I bought an ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71, and when i first had it, it ran great. WoW and League of legends on ultra settings at 70+ fps (200+ for league. ) But now when i run them, i can barely get up to 60 on medium settings. Any help would be appreciated.

First thing that occurs to me is background programs. Run task manager and see if you can identify anything on the processes tab eating up a lot of your CPU. Could also be overheating, esp. if you have pets or smoke.

I have tried checking Task Manager while playing, CPU usage is normal. I have pets but I don't smoke. What can i do to check if my CPU is overheating? The laptop is not hot to the touch when I am playing.

Turn off background apps and programs and make sure that you updated your card to the latest drive .. and if your gpu is amd turn off any graphics setting related to nvidia such as Nvidia game works for example because that won't make any changes but overheating your gpu which will lead to fps drops . Make sure that you are not over - Overclocking your cpu or gpu because that may lead to unnoticed overheating while gaming which will probably lead to lag , stuttering and more fps drops so always keep your overclocking settings average and under control . You should track your temps. and if you find them extra high i recommend that you buy an external laptop fan from any computer shop ... I think i contained most possible reasons for the fps drops in your case because your laptop can maintain ultra graphics and solid fps levels so other than that the problem is within the video game and maybe it's time for a patch . Hope this was helpful :)

as everyone has said background programs are killers, you get a lot of stuff running in background after a while and windows itself tends to get more demanding as time goes on.
Alternately things like your registry and disk could just need a good workover. run a full disk defragment (can be found in the system tools folder of your start menu) get a computer maintenance program like tune up utilities and see what it says, programs like that can identify unused programs and spaces on disk that re not required for operation.

Sorry I know this is an old post but I have the same issue as well. It took a few months before I started noticing issues though. I believe the laptop was purchased in October and I started having the issues in February.

The thing that gets me is just 1 day it started to tear while playing WoW. After this is the first time I made any sort of change to my game setting since I got the laptop and set everything to Ultra. I found that even lowering my settings to Low didn't really help with the performance.

I ended up thinking something was defective with the laptop. I had taken apart and cleaned it. I also tried a different HDD with no change. The issue starts minutes into playing WoW even if I am just doing my garrisons. I ran HWMonitor in the background and even though CPU usage was fairly low it was still reaching temps of 90C also the GPU was maxing out at reaching temps of 70C. I don't know if it was at 100% utilization because it was thermal throttling or what the issue is. I do know the CPU was thermal throttling however by running AIDA64 in the background and seeing the CPU throttle to about 40%.

Anyways I sent the laptop in for repair and according to the slip they returned I believe they replaced the motherboard. I started up the laptop and immediately noticed the exact same issue.

I don't know what to do anymore it is pretty disappointing to play basically 1 game and have issues with it suddenly one day after months of playing without issue. My last email from ASUS suggested that I turn down the settings because the laptop might not be able to handle it... that doesn't sound to promising.
