j9x.inca Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Help! FPS DROPSHardware:Alienware M14X R2i7 3740 QMNvidia GT 650M 2GB DDR5 (underclocked 660)16 GB CORSAIR Vengeance RAM (2 DIMMS)Running on Windows 8 64 bit-------------------------------My problem is that when I run some games such as Borderlands 2, I have great FPS about 50-60 at all times and my GPU temp NEVER goes above 67 degrees celsius. My GPU usage will go up and stay at 99% most of the time during gameplay and my fps will randomly drop to like 6-10 fps for a few seconds almost like lag, then it will rise back up to the regular 50-60 fps. and 5-10 min later it will drop again to a low fps. Quite a few games do this and idk why. I have the latest Nvidia drivers and i have Antialiasing on to save GPU power. I have PhysX set to Auto (i have tried switching to see if it makes a difference). I have my card currently overclocked to the best it could be +200 to the core clock, and +800 to the memory clock for a total of 1150 Mhz Core Clock and 2800 Mhz memory clock. I have used 3d Mark to get to this clock. My physics score seems to be low compared to my graphics score which concerns me.Here is my 3d mark score: http://www.3dmark.com/cg/295055Please help, is it my physics score that is the problem, if so why am i having physics problems when i have a new 3rd gen i7 with 16GB ram?

frankmanguiob Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sounds like an overheating problem. It is the GPU throttling to avoid damage thru overheating. Try without any OC at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyell3 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just try keeping the laptop cool with some fans and see if that changes anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
