    i was getting upwards of 65 or 70 FPS in GW, and suddenly, my GPU took a dump or somehting, it went straight down to 5-9. the bios has been updated, and my temps didn't even break 70


    Any ideas what this could be?

    Could be your GPU overheating and downclocked itself to prevent it from heat damage. Try installing a newer graphics driver from laptopvideo2go.

    I'm still having this problem as well, I've updated my bios and installed the DOX drivers. I need to test some more, but this might be happening only after the laptop goes into sleep mode or hibernate. See if this is the case for you as well. Reboot your laptop and see if you can reproduce this problem.
