Power problems

[Karaboskarakas]

For example, when I start to play a game(my notebook is connected to power) my FPS is about 100-120, but after some time my FPS drops from 100-120 to 17-25

and stays in this range for a while and then returns to normal(100-120), or until I reconnect the power to my laptop. If I change the graphics settings then nothing changes, except numbers of FPS(was 150-180 become 25-30).  And this thing repeats until I end my gaming session. This problem is not observed only in any particular game. It is present in any game. I have the latest version of the driver for my video card(GeForce GTX 960M).

@Karaboskarakas,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that the FPS drops when you are gaming.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you update the BIOS from the below link and check if it helps.

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.

If you have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology — that is, both NVIDIA and Intel graphics — this is the same place you can choose which applications will use the NVIDIA hardware and which will use the Intel hardware.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
