Lag that gets worse after a few matches on a gaming laptop usually points to overheating or memory leaks rather than just FPS settings. Try monitoring your temps (CPU & GPU) with something like MSI Afterburner while you play—if they spike and then your FPS tanks, you’re probably thermal throttling and need to clean vents, raise the laptop, or lower graphics/turn off unnecessary background apps. Also set Windows to High Performance, cap your FPS in-game (for example 60 instead of unlimited), and update your GPU drivers so the game doesn’t slowly eat more resources each match. If it still stutters, verify the game files and try disabling overlays (Discord, Xbox Game Bar, etc.), as those can cause hitching over time. Treat it like following a detailed erome guide or any step-by-step troubleshooting walkthrough: go through each tweak one by one, test a few games, and you’ll usually spot which change fixes the lag.
