Hello, all. Over the past several months, I've been experiencing huge frame drops in certain games and am at my wit's end trying to solve the problem.
I first noticed the issue when trying to play Destiny 2 on my laptop (Zephyrus G15). I previously ran the game on high graphics settings with no problem, but seemingly out of nowhere, my frame rate would drop from the 90s/low 100s to 20 or even lower. It does this every 5-10 seconds or so, and immediately shoots back up to the regular frame rate. Obviously, I tried putting the graphics on the lowest settings possible, as well as changing many other in-game settings, but nothing worked.
I also tested other games to see if it was a problem that's unique to Destiny 2, but it's not; for example, I have the same issue with PGA 2K23. However, a game like Starcraft 2 runs normally, even on the highest graphics settings, as I consistently get 150+ FPS.
The GPU temperatures seem relatively normal: according to NVIDIA, they're between 80-85 C while Destiny 2 is running.
I've updated everything that I can think of: Windows, NVIDIA drivers, and even my BIOS. My laptop is plugged in and the power settings are on "High Performance."
I've been troubleshooting the problem for hours today and have tried many other potential solutions, but nothing has worked.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or know what the problem might be?
Any help is tremendously appreciated.
