    Hello,

    since i bought the laptop i get unexpected frame drops in every game bfbc2,leauge of legends even on sims!

    I always have the latest drivers i am almost sure that i run the game from nvidia card instead of intel hd 4600 because i get 180fps on LoL and 130-150fps on BFBC2 , also the shadow play works fine i can see the fps.


    This is my laptop

    Acer Aspire v 15 nitro (591g-77a9)

    Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz (Intel Core i7)

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M - 2048 MB, Core: 1029 MHz, Memory: 1250 MHz, GDDR5, ForceWare 333.17, Optimus

    8192 MB
    , DDR3, dual-channel, two memory banks (both filled)

    15.6 inch 16:9, 1920x1080 pixel, LG Philips LP156WF4-SPK1, IPS, glossy: no

    Kingston RBU-SNS8100S3128GD, 128 GB
    , + Western Digital WD10JPVX (1 TB, 5400 rpm)


    I have installed the games on the HDD ofcourse not the main SSD, running Windows 10 and yes the problem existed in windows 8.1 also

    looking for your answers

    Check out the temps. At first glance it looks like thermal throttling.

    These temps are borderline so I wouldn't be surprised if it was thermal throttling after all.
    You might want to use Intel XTU to monitor for thermal throttling.
