Frequent fps drops

[f1sh2r]

I face frequent fps drops in every game, which makes them unplayable. For example in FarCry 5 the fps drops from 35 to 11 for a few seconds and then goes back up.

I tried reinstalling windows and the graphics drivers, updating the graphics drivers and the bios, disabled intel turbo boost, defragmented the games, disabled gaming dvr from windows settings, used the maximum performance option from nvidia control panel and disabled cpu core parking and all failed.

Welcome to the HP Forums,

We'll be with you until it's all sorted & beyond!

Did you know the HP 15 isn't designed for gaming but for everyday computing?
(Keeping in mind the basic needs of an average user surfing the internet or using it for normal tasks as such).

That said, I'm afraid your HP 15 is not designed for gaming, it's purpose is everyday computing and hence I would request you not to overload the computer with HD games such as the ones you've mentioned as this computer cannot handle it, to know about HP Laptops designed for gaming: Click here

You could try reducing the resolution on the in-game settings and switch the windows settings to performance rather than visual effects to make a minor change, however, the game may heat up your PC, hence make sure you are using a cooling pad as well, to be on a safer side.

I hope that answers your query,

@f1sh2r  Have you looked in the Nvidia Control Panel to see which graphics card is being used when the low FPS occurs?

You can set the switchable graphics to only run the dedicated MX130 all the time for gaming.

Here is an example..... take it off Auto and choose the dedicated MX130.
