Huge fps drops on high end laptop
Hey everyone ! I've been experimenting terrible fps drop for a few days, making the game hardly playable. I have between 100 and 144 fps most of the time, but I suddenly drop to 15 or 30 at comple...

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):

V sync disabled
AA: TSAA
Texture filtering: Anisotropic 2x
Ambient occlusion quality: Low
Sun shadow coverage: Low
Sun shadow detail: Low

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. 🙂
- @The_Tibber I meant he probably installed the latest drivers after the format, sorry for the misunderstanding. 🙂
Ahh kk :P
Some people dont know that you need to get those kind of drivers from the manufacturer website and just rely on Windows update xD
Hey again ! Tried to get the log from Afterburner, hope I got the correct file (if not, sorry, it's the first time I do it !)... Can't add it to my answer apparently because of the extension, but here's the link to get it:

Take only the last entry by the way, the previous ones didn't record fps datas.
Thanks in advance !
EDIT: oh, and I had indeed updated all my drivers, including bios. Didn't change anything unfortunately.
Sorry, I had to be more clear. I meant while in-game you can monitor your PC's statistics from the up-left corner of your screen(Sadly, logs are not helpful). While playing you can see what changes when FPS drops happen. The reason you are doing these things is to see if the issue is with voltage, overheating etc.
Here is how to configure those settings
Btw is G-sync on/off?
Hey again ! Thanks everyone for your advices.
Did the whole anti malware stuff, but didn't find anything.
Took a few screenshots with afterburner's infos on. Some when everything's fine, other when the * hits the fan (pun intended).
(keep in mind that I'm playing on an ultra thin gaming laptop though, so I guess the CPU/GPU temp are supposed to be way higher than on a desktop computer, or even on a "regular" gaming laptop).
As you'll see, the CPU temp drops by 20°C when my fps drop, AND my GPU voltage is divided by two (indicating "no load" a couple lines below).
Does that simply mean that I'm having thermal throttling ? Or is the throttling caused by the GPU voltage in a way (like the CPU taking the GPU load, causing it to overheat maybe) ? I'm at loss, but maybe someone here can help me. Thanks in advance !
Alright, lets do a antivirus sweep just to check.
Download this and run the scan: https://www.malwarebytes.com/antirootkit/
After, press the Win key and type cmd the run as admin.
In the black window type:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestorehealthThen type:
sfc /scannowNow run windows update to check for updates, then run windows security.
Once you find the virus and threat protection, run a quick scan.
