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 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 !
Also, thought I'd point out that I've just tried plugging my laptop on my TV (HDMI). I was capped at 48fps, stable, no drop. And my GPU temp was 15-20°C lower.
Just incase OP needs to reply
Oh yeah I think I found it. Cap your FPS to 60 FPS or something close to it because at 100FPS your PC turns into a toaster.
Yeah should help, when you having crazy high FPS in games the CPU is hit harder as for the details, resolution and other things its handled by the GPU.
But i would reccomend looking at your fan profiles as your CPU is around 50% and running hot
