Hey, I recently bought the HP 15-d002tx laptop with GT 820M GPU and I am facing a major issue. I like to play games like Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution. Now for the main problem :-
I start my game with power plugged in and Hitman (With 1024x768 Low settings) touches about 15 FPS hardly (Poorest Performance). In fact, when I run it from the Integrated HD 4000, it touches about 20-22 FPS.
But when I start the game without Power Plugged in (On the GPU, not Integrated), my GPU offers about 26 FPS and just after connecting Power, I see about 55 FPS (Just what it is expected). But after 10 seconds or such, FPS keeps lowering down and again touches 15 FPS even with Power.
Please HELP me get out of this situation, I am feeling like I wasted my money. And do note that, I have the latest drivers of the GPU and Integrated GPU.
I will be very grateful to you guys if you help me !!
Update :- Though I picked the best solution, my problem isn't totally solved yet, By the answers, I learned that Heating is the SPOILER here. At idle, my GPU is around 45 C which, in my opinion is not good. But my GPU hovers around 70 C while gaming which is quite safe. But I noticed that whenever the GPU reaches 70 C, my GPU slows itself. And I am sure that the GPU Boost 2.0 technology is doing this. Anyway I can remove this temperature targeting?
