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 , thanks for the feedbak !
I tried capping my fps to 90, then 70. I still get the drops (maybe slightly less often ? not sure).
Couldn't find the fan configuration in the bios. I do have something like that in Asus Armoury Crate though, that allows me to push the fans to the max. Had to uninstall it a few months ago because it was affecting my general perfomances, but I'll give it another go.
What's bothering me is: why did it start dropping all of a sudden a few days ago ? Everything was working great before that. Never monitored my temps, but as someone mentioned, most computers likes those run very hot, and they can still run games without problem. Is it because the thermal paste got worn out super fast (the computer is only 6 months old !) ? Or could it have something to do with the holo-day bash update ?
Can you turn off G-sync? G-sync sometimes have compatibility issues.
Most thermal pastes worn off in 6 months but this time can be longer if the thermal paste is higher quality. Usually recommended renewing time is between 6-12 months.
As for now your problem seems to be overheating. You have mentioned that when you plug a monitor to your laptop, no drops occur because (if v-sync is on) PC caps FPS to monitor's Hz. With 48 FPS it much likely won't heat up and cause these drops. Still there are two problems:
1) When CPU&GPU reaches their temperature limits, the system decreases power in order to cool them. BUT your system immediately cuts their power and FPS drops to the bottom. Normally power should be decreased slowly.
2) You shouldn't get FPS drop of overheating when video settings are low. Problem might be worn off thermal paste or not properly working fans.
Maybe you can contact Asus Support and let's see what they say.
