I recently got a Dell xps 8900 with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730. I am aware of the fact that it is a low end gpu but it's ok for now. However, I play payday 2 a lot and I have noticed a strange occurrence. I usually play at medium settings, and that gives me a 20 fps that I can play with. But then I decided to play max settings and I still got 20 fps. Then I decided to lower the graphics to minimum and I get 20 fps. I am worried that my 730 is thermal throttling or is underperforming and I would appreciate advice on what is happening here.
