Hey i recently upgraded my laptop. I purchased a toshiba satellite l50-A-1EH. (http/www.vergelijk.nl/notebook/toshiba/satellite_l50_a_1eh/specs.rhtml)
The laptop seems to be encountering some performance issues, i first noticed this and it is most prevalent in games. (Path of Exile and Diablo 3).
Whilst i get around a smooth 50-60 fps in these games i am noticing large fps drops and freezes periodically. These drops are down to 0-3 fps and may even lead to the game crashing.
Whilst potentially not related i have also been aware of some problems with my computer itself. Some windows occasionally fail to respond or open slowly.
I initially believed the problem was solely with path of exile and as a result took steps to try and fix the ingame fps spikes i was seeing. I downloaded nvidia inspector and tried various configurations of v sync, fps caps in various combinations and this has proved either ineffective or i haven't yet hit the golden combination of settings.
I downloaded diablo 3 and that was when i realized that the problems were not path of exile specific. I am also unsure as to whether the performance issues are solely with gaming, or as a result of trying to do other things whilst games are in the progress of failing to respond.
My GPU is not overheating, however i did notice when i was running path of exile the spikes down to 0 fps did coincide with a dips in my gpu usage to 0%.
So does anyone have any suggestions, the laptop does seem to run fine in almost every other aspect, though as i stated before i am unsure as to what extent windows failing to respond was related to games in the background.
Thanks in advance!
