Hi all,

I'm pretty upset considering the fact on how on 3 of my PC's with nvidia GPU's are having FPS drops.

To make a long story short:

I have the latest drivers, I go into the game and the temps stay low, but it still freezes. I have no adware or any viruses as I have freshly installed windows on all 3 of them.

The video cards are

1. GT555M
2.GTX 650Ti BOOST
3. 940M

I'm not worried about all of them, only my 940M for now, as I have just bought this laptop 2 days ago and it is brand new. The laptop is a Lenovo Flex 3 1580.

I assume that this is driver related but I'm not sure. Something just seems weird because it's been happening on 3 PC's, and they are all Nvidia.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because another forum website i use isn't really helping me with this unfortunately, thank you! (no one replied)

Try dropping to 720p and running low game settings, if its playable try upping a few game settings. Its not going to look good as running a resolution different to that of the monitor results in poor image quality. The problem is the laptop is not up to playing high end games at 1080p, its not a gaming laptop

The fps drops are either CPU or GPU maxing out or probably both at different times

Some more information is required. What games are you playing? What detail settings are you playing them at?

The display on that laptop is 1080p which is a pretty demanding resolution for a 940m (especially if you have all the detail settings cranked), of course this is game dependent. I wouldn't expect too much from this combination.

Bit of info on the 940m http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+940M

Passmark score of 904, the desktop 960 which does a decent but not high end job of gaming at 1080p gets 5951 or 6 times the gaming performance. Keep in mind the 960 is not considered high end for 1080p, that's more 970 or 980

Tell us what games you are playing, if they are modern gpu intensive games its most likely its working fine just your expectations are off

I play mainly call of duty Black ops 1,2,3, and some skyrim. I play them at 1080p, but with everything else turned down to the max. I tried going to 800x600 before, however, It goes above 100 but then to 50 in a matter of seconds.

I did not measure the gpu usage but I would imagine it being very close to 100% as well as the CPU I saw goes from 85-95% constantly.

In which case nothing is wrong, your just expecting too much from the laptop. The Black Ops range are fairly gpu heavy games

So even if it goes over 100 and down to 50? I thought that wasn't normal. Or is it just because the laptop is stressed out? What resolution do you recommend I play at?

Ah that all makes sense. Thank you very much. If this isn't a gaming laptop though what would you consider a laptop like this to be? I wouldn't say average because the dedicated gpu. Maybe middle class? Just asking because people are going to be asking me if this thing is a gaming laptop and I will say no but feel I need to tell them what kind it is. Probably overthinking it haha.

Thanks again everyone for the support.
