Low FPS in my HP omen 15 Laptop.(25-35 FPS)

[Karim332]

I've had my HP omen laptop for about 5 years if I'm not mistaken but this problem started to occur around my 3rd year with using this laptop. I would open up games such as overwatch and would get good FPS at around 75-80 usually. But I've now started to get really low FPS like at around 25-30. It's starting to really stress me out and I'm not sure whats the problem. I might have to upgrade my graphics card (My laptop came with a GeForce GTX 965m) but I'm not finding much information online about my laptop in how to upgrade the card. What should I do?

@Karim332 there are many ways to increase FPS and system performance:

• Update the BIOS.

  For notebook PCs, go to HP Notebook PCs - Updating the BIOS

• Update the graphics driver.

  Go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, enter your PC model, then select the driver for your graphics card.

• Most games allow you to change the graphics settings. Using a lower graphic quality often improves FPS.

• Close any applications or programs that are not being used.

• Turn on Game Mode. Game Mode is a new feature in Windows 10 Creators Update that improves gaming performance by limiting background processes and programs from using system resources while a game is running.

  1. Press the Windows key and G to open the Game bar.

  2. In the game bar, click Settings.

  3. Click the check box next to the game title to enable Game Mode for that game.

     Plug notebook PCs into an AC adapter to give the graphics card more power.
