Huge fps drops on high end laptop

I would probably start with disabling other programs, go into task manager>startup> then disable everything you don't need and test run it. Also I have a similar laptop Asus Strix Scar 2 with Rtx 2070 it came with 16gb Ddr but it was in single channel configuration, I didn't get drops that low but after upgrading to 2 16gb sticks I saw a massive boost to fps in apex legends. Might want to look into it if you arn't running in dual channel or else your ram will bottleneck your cpu quiet dramatically.

Hey, thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I don't play LoL. I only used this computer for a few games so far (Overwatch, Baba is you, Disco Elysium, Fallen Order, and Apex, that's it), but I don't have any of those anymore (except for Apex) since I did a full reinstall a couple days ago (that didn't fix anything unfortunately). 

I've also tried deactivating anything that starts with my computer, but unfortunately I didn't have anything basically. So it hasn't fixed my issue... 

I've tried cleaning the back panel of my laptop too, but it was rather clean (the pc is pretty new, so it wasn't a surprise). I really don't have any clue, hope somebody can help ! Thanks

I will appreciate if you provide us your in-game stats:

- GPU usage&temperature&VRAM

- CPU usage&temperature&core speed

- RAM speed&usage.

You can use monitoring programs like MSI Afterburner.

Also what are your video settings in Apex?

Hey !

I got a log file from HWMonitor, don't know if it's as thorough as Afterburner, but I'll attach it to this post.

And here are my settings right now (though I've also tried playing with everything on low, and I still get the drops):

Have you updated your drivers? (this is nothing to do with windows update)

You can get the latest drivers here: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-Zephyrus-S-GX531/HelpDesk_Download/

You can ignore utility and other as they are not drivers.

Sorry I need your in-game stats to confirm everything is working properly while gaming.

As The_Tibber said updating your drivers may work but you just formatted your PC so I assume you had the latest drivers. If so, install previous drivers to see if anything changes. 

A PC format would only install legacy or stock drivers not the latest ones as it just does not work like that. 🙂
