User benchmark test taken while the PC was at idle (except for the Benchmark simulation of course). I am almost certain now that something is forcing my GPU to a Core Clock Speed of 300MHz and is overwriting any attempt to change it. MSI Afterburner seems unable to move the clock speed in any direction. PS - Just talked to someone on discord last night that discovered my GPU is locking at a max Core Clock Speed of 300MHz (all Games and downloaded software running off of a Samsung 980 PRO M.2 SSD) My FPS is so bad I cannot even use my laptop as a workstation. it's as if I'm running on hardware from 2007. The second I bring it under any amount of load.

I'm idling with discord and Microsoft edge open and I'm at 45 Celcius on the GPU. (so is it heat issues? well it sounds like it could be, but it makes no damn sense because the GPU temp has NEVER gone above 53 Celsius). (One exception - for some reason when I took the back cover off of my laptop and put the thing on its side, it ran perfectly for like 40mins, then went right back to terrible) I just paid a $122 flippin repair fee earlier today which got it professionally cleaned and had the thermal paste re-applied. I have cleaned up and left over 70GB empty on my windows drive I have done disk Defragment, Disk Clean up I have changed Nvidia Game ready drivers multiple times

I have tried messing with the BIOS (a singular setting that refreshes the battery) It's the sort of drop in performance that Is so bad, there is definitely something seriously wrong with the PC.

My laptop has been eating any game I throw at it for breakfast for years but yet all of a sudden, I woke up earlier this week and The performance is absurdly bad.Īnd by bad performance, I don't mean a drop of 5-10FPS, (I'm talkin a RTX2060 getting 15FPS on character customization in Halo Reach sort of bad performance) Ok, here is the total synopsis ladies and gents
