FPS Drops

[Ozan50]

Does anyone know how to fix the fps drop issue?

Everytime I play a game (doesn’t matter which game)

I get random fps drops to 5-10 fps which goes on for 5-10 seconds. It switches from the gpu to the cpu (atleast thats what nvidia shows at the top corner)

I have been dealing with this for the past 4 months still can’t fix it.

@Ozan50, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Make Sure You're Running on AC Power

Laptops throttle heavily on battery.

Plug in your charger.

Use a high-wattage HP official charger.

Don’t use USB-C hubs or power banks to charge while gaming.

Set Power Mode to Maximum Performance

Even if you’re plugged in, Windows might be limiting performance.

In Windows:

Go to Settings > System > Power & battery > Additional power settings.

Set to High Performance (or create a custom plan with max CPU and GPU power settings).

BIOS & Chipset Driver Updates

HP Spectre models often push out thermal/power fixes via BIOS updates.

Go to HP Drivers Site.

Search your model (e.g., 14-eu0000).

Update:

BIOS

Intel Chipset

Intel Dynamic Tuning

NVIDIA drivers

Run HP Hardware Diagnostics

Check if your hardware is faulty:

Restart > press Esc > press F2 for diagnostics.

Run the System Tests and Thermal Tests.

I hope this helps.
