Guys I'm getting pretty inconvenient issue. I used to get 40-50 fps on rainbow six siege on 720p med settings and now suddenly i'm getting 20fps. This started to happen when my laptop went below 10%. After charging up and charger plugged in I'm getting 20fps. It happened before when my laptop went below 10% and all of sudden i started to get 20fps. The fall creators somehow fixed the issue, idk how but probably reset my clock speed or something? i couldn't find any solution online
things i have tried
-> reinstalled my gpu drivers with clean install
-> reset my pc
-> prefer maximum performance plus phyX to GPU
the only option left is to reinstall windows completely.
edit: forgot to mention specs
-> i5 5th gen, gtx 940m, win 10

gtx 940m seems good enough to handle rainbow at 40-60 fps. I've been playing the game for more than 6 months. It just happened when my battery went below 10%. somehow i feel window 10 underclocked the gpu. Also it's not heat issue. MSI afterburner shows 45c when I'm running(with 20 fps lol). When this happened before, I thought it was heat issue but then the fall creator update fixed it.
(ps i'm new here lol)
