Hi Guys!

So I have this laptop with an nvidia 820m and experience frame drops in games. I used MSI Afterburner to check temps and it would seem the frame drops occur when the temp reaches about 75 and it throttles down to reach 69. If I'm playing a game at about 65 fps, it drops to about 45, so it is capable of ok fps, they just drop.

Do you know of a way to set the temperature at which it throttles down to let's say 80 degrees? Or should I just let it do it's thing and live with the fact that I can't play any games? I have to mention the the laptop is newish, and that i've always experienced these drops. Does anyone have this graphics card and can share their temps? The laptop is an ASUS X550L.

Thanks!

Well before touching temp limits ( which I don't really recommend people do on laptops) I would try setting up a custom fan profile in msi afterburner to allow the gpu fan to spin faster, this will opbviosly add more noise but should bring down temps a fair amount depending on how aggressive the stock fan profile is.

If that doesn't work I guess you could turn up the temp limit to 80c it likly won't damage anything, if it will even let you. You can do that in msi afterburner.

Hi!

I thought of setting a custom fan profile, the thing is, this option is grayed out, I've tinkered with it on my pc, but it would seem it's not an option on the laptop.

Will it let you change the power or temp limit? They might be grayed out as well. If they are the only thing I can think of to help this issue is maybe clean out the laptop, if there is a ton of dust buildup your temps will suffer, or get a cooling pad for it I have heard some work very well.

I have the same card, I also had this same problem but something happened and now the card isn't even Throttling. I literally play GTA V with the card running at 94 degrees celsius and decent framerates (If 30FPS is decent).

Try increasing the settings of your game, it really helps even though you'll have to sacrifice some FPS
