HP Victus 16 FPS drop once in a while

[yesaro]

Hi, I just bought HP Victus 16 like 2 months ago. I can play games like RDR 2, Farcry 6, Spiderman Remastered with High/Ultra Setting, but once in a while FPS drop for like 10=30 seconds, and back to smooth again. And this happened randomly. I have tried to reduce the graphic setting to medium/low, but the problem persist. I have browse the forum, and mostly the solution is to update bios, I have checked my bios and it have been up to date. Any other solution I can try?

Hi Gaya1239,

Thank you so much for replying my question. 

An update from my side :

I have not try your proposed solution. But, I have tried this step :

1. Uninstall unused games and have my SSD free 50GB / 500GB

2. Make sure booster from omen gaming hub active

So far, the game run smoother. And the issue seems have been solved. But I am still monitoring the performance.
