Hello,
From some days I have a drop of fps and then low usage of GPU while running a game.
I do the BIOS update and for some time seem to be good in FPS but after some time i get the drop again.
I check with the HP Support assistant with the section "Sistem Test" and all the voice say "Passed". All the game are set
in low graphics.
PC:
HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0xxx
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050
Thanks for the help

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues with the FPS drop.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you update the graphics driver from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.
https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers
If you continue facing the issue, then follow the below steps.
Right-click your desktop background and select NVIDIA Control Panel. You can also find this tool by performing a Start menu (or Start screen) search for NVIDIA Control Panel or by right-clicking the NVIDIA icon in your system tray and selecting Open NVIDIA Control Panel.
To quickly set a system-wide preference, you could use the Adjust image settings with the preview option. For example, if you have old hardware that struggles to play the games you want to play, you may want to select “Use my preference emphasizing” and move the slider all the way to “Performance.” This trades graphics quality for an increased frame rate.
By default, the “Use the advanced 3D image settings” option is selected. You can select Manage 3D settings and change advanced settings for all programs on your computer or just for specific games. NVIDIA keeps a database of the optimal settings for various games, but you’re free to tweak individual settings here. Just mouse-over an option for an explanation of what it does.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
