Unexplainable FPS drop - any advice welcome

Freeman-You-Fool · 2021-10-19T18:46:02+00:00

I use a 2020 edition Razer Blade 15" laptop, base model I have owned it for over a year now and have always been able to run even the most demanding games relatively well. However, as of 3 months ago I've experienced a sudden drop in FPS on any game I play, which has made any video game basically unplayable. This is not a hardware issue, as it is affecting games that up until now I was perfectly able to play. It is not a memory issue either as I have around 200 GB of storage left and the system tells me the CPU is fine. Redownloading the games, steam, and updating my graphics drivers has not helped. Adjusting fan speed also has not helped. The vents all seem to be free of dust and clean so that can't be the issue either. This is a real pain since I basically can't do the one thing I bought this laptop for. Does anybody know how to resolve this, or has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice or help would be very much welcome! Thanks.
