CPU drops

[Dominsto]

 

During playing games on GTX 960M for some time, I start to gain CPU drops. At first they are and every time they happen I get huge FPS and voltage drops. Later thhey become practicalky omnipresent. But after that, the FPS and voltage drops at random.  Strange thing also is that overall FPS is higher then at the beginning when everything was stable. 

Please help me. 

P. S.: I am sorry for improper rotation of my screenshots this website changed their rotation and I am not able to rotate them back.

Thank you for your reply. Drivers, bios and system are up to date. I checked and updated them many times.

There are many ways to increase FPS and system performance:

• Most games allow you to change the graphics settings. Using a lower graphic quality often improves FPS.

• Close any applications or programs that are not being used.

• Turn on Game Mode. Game Mode is a new feature in Windows 10 Creators Update that improves gaming performance by limiting background processes and programs from using system resources while a game is running.

  1. Press the Windows key and G to open the Game bar.

  2. In the game bar, click Settings.

  3. Click the check box next to the game title to enable Game Mode for that game.

     Plug notebook PCs into an AC adapter to give the graphics card more power.

I personally optimalized everything I could (or found) for best gaming performance. I dismantled laptop and it was totally clean and everything was holding on place. 

I probably found what is the true priblem with my pc. 
I found out that when my GPU (or CPU nit sure now) temp gets at certain level (I think it is 85 degrees celzius in GPU, CPU temp is changint too often in order to see any pattern for me), the voltage drops for 1-2 sec and CPU clock drops (sometimes also GPU clock). I think the problem is caused that instead of wents running on higher speed the PC prefers to drop voltage (or CPU clock, not sure which one influences the other).
