This will lower his source, but overall it will perform well. What the OP is showing is momentary dips in GPU usage.
#Illusion games low fps software
Get this notion out of your head ASAP.įorgot to mentioned, the issue maybe only happen in certain software so the best way to test it is using 3dmark to check if the score is really low. Internet issue can give the illusion of a low FPS as the number of updates are lower, but in no way does your internet affect your framerate. Tying framerates to the physics engine is bad enough but no triple A dev or even indie devs are stupid enough to do that. The game has an FPS cap, so it doesn't reach 100% usage, but other games do and the drops are there (always into the 40%, don't know why).Ĭlick to expand.1 - Honestly, the number of games that even do this are. It can be seen how there are some random drops into the 40% GPU load (I've marked one of those). I've attached a GPU-Z screenshoot, with monitoring of a CS:GO match. However, I am sure it's not normal, as it reveals the drop in GPU usage. This thing is happening with that drivers, with the MSI web ones, and even with the most updated ones.
#Illusion games low fps drivers
The laptop was a FreeDOS one, but I installed Win10 and the CD drivers that came in the box. I thought it could be the drivers, but I do have the latest ones (Nvidia, as well as Intel integrated ones), with clean reinstalls, after uninstalling the previous ones with DDU, so I don't really have any idea about what could be causing the issue.

It isn't vsync related neither, as it happens without it. It's not a matter of the game, as it happens regardless of which game I am in, and regardless if it is online/offline (I checked this, as the stutter caused by the drops feels like when you're having lag, but it isn't the casue, as it happens in single player games too). So I'd say that it's some kind of software/driver problem (or maybe a faulty 970M chip?). I've also monitored temperatures, as well as CPU, HDD and memory loads, and everything else looks okay. I've monitored GPU activity with GPU-Z, and I've realised that when those drops occur, the GPU usage drops abruptly. Despite having a good average performance while playing games, I experience some deep framerate drops randomly, for about a second, which don't really relate to the game being more demanding in that moment (which usually isn't the case). I've recently bought an MSI GE62 2QF laptop, equipped with an Nvidia GTX 970M graphics card.
