Hi everyone,
I am experiencing very low FPS since the War Within Expansion dropped. Sometimes as bad as 5-7 fps which makes the game unplayable. I have all drivers up to date.
I play on a Dell G5 laptop with the following specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 ti
30GB of free space 458 GB SSD
I noticed the laptop getting hot, so I play on a cooling pad and have the “balanced” power plan. I think this setup is quite decent according to what I have read, but I cannot get a consistent fps of more than 60. How is this possible? Is it thermal throttling? Is it a hardware issue? Or is there a way to tweak settings to get consistently 60+ fps? As I have read, WoW should not be very demanding on the GPU but it is the CPU where it bottlenecks. I use the coretemp software to monitor my cores temps, and they usually hover around 100C when gaming. Is it possible my fps drops are due to overheating? Is there a way to improve this?
Thank you all for your help with this
Cheers
That’s a 500GB SSD and would require 75GB of free space at the minimum to function properly.
A balanced power plan will throttle the performance of your CPU and GPU to help reduce the temperature of the computer and use less overall battery/power. It’s not the plan you use for steady FPS, only High Performance would work for that. But that might cause even more damage due to the other circumstances you described.
Yes, that is way too hot and you are absolutely overheating. The only way to fix it (if it’s still possible and not permanently damaged) is to clean out the laptop (dust) or take it to a PC technician to replace the paste for the CPU and check that all fans are functioning properly.
