I´ve been lately playing heavier games on my laptop. At the start everything worked fine, but after some time I´ve been getting some FPS drops. I usually play Rainbow Six Siege, and I was wondering what the best in-game settings and the best NVidia settings I could select.

I'd usually prefer performance over quality, but I understand games like R6:S need a bit of both for a good gameplay. My specs are:

Model: Omen 17-w202la
GPU: NVidia GTX 1050Ti
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700HQ @2.81GHz 7th Gen.
RAM: 12GB (11.9 Usable)
Disk: 1TB
Screen: WLED FHD IPS UWVA 17.3" (1920x1080)
OS: Windows 10 Home 64

Any type of help would be great. I've, by the way, already installed GeForce Experience, and Razer Cortex for better performance, but I still get under-60 FPS.

First I would focus on finding out why performance has dropped. It could be a Windows update has reset something that has slowed things down. Make sure Windows power settings are set for maximum performance. Make sure the laptop is not running hotter.

In game settings, esports games have 'pro' settings which are the preferred settings for competition. In terms of raw performance, dropping the resolution and using low settings will give you an idea of the highest framerate you can expect. For instance, 720p low settings framerate gives you a best case scenario of the framerate possible. As you increase resolution or settings from that you will lose fps.

The other thing is to run off AC power, not the battery, while gaming. For one...

The other thing is to run off AC power, not the battery, while gaming. For one thing, a battery may suffer degradation in performance over time. Eliminating battery issues as a possible problem might help figure this out.
