Morvack Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hello. I have been battling this problem for almost a week now and I am completely stumped. Basically, my game starts off great. 60 fps with no problem. then it declines in less then five minutes to around 10 frames per second. This happens while the following is true update or no update : I am running it on a getforce gtx 670 m graphics card. A four core intel i7 cpu. 3 year old mid range gaming laptop (an Ibuypower cz17 valkyrie). No mods. No skes. Literally skyrim and razor game booster going. Skyrim has been given top real time priorities. The affinity is set for all of my cpu cores. All graphics set as low as possible. Having the resolution under 1080p actually seemed to makes the problem worse . With 1080p , I start with 58-60 fps. At 768p I am around 47 fps at the beginning. I have reinstalled skyrim more times than I would care to admit. I wish I had a hard drive I could put skyrim on. I hear that helps fps a lot. Also with mods on, I have tried tes5 edit, loot, boss, and several alleged fps increasing mods. I have tried setting the allocated bytes under papyrus (Yes I was and am that desperate). Any suggestions on what to do is greatly appreciated :D. If you need any more information, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morvack Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Are you overheating?Certainly possible. My laptop has left burn marks on my legs before. According to killer net manger, it was at 81 degrees, two fans running. How would you suggest I go about cooling it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 First thing, get it cleaned out. You'd be amazed at what can build up in those things. Second thing, get a cooling pad. If you can find one that blows air up instead of pulling air away, even better. Anything that improves airflow will help, though. Matter of fact, you really don't want to use it just sitting on your lap anyway, your clothing (or bare skin..I don't want to know) blocks the vents. Using an external monitor works well, especially along with a wireless KB/M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get a cooling pad, and I will shop around for one thanks. Do you think getting a new battery would help? Mine is fried and my laptop only works with the charger plugged in. I wear shorts during summer and winter around the house. I use my tv as a secondary monitor. Just an hdmi cord. Is there any way to make it so my laptop screen turns off when I plug it into my tv? Forgive me, I am rather new to hardware side of computers (and only enough experience to get me in trouble software side). What is a KB/M ?

Deleted3507349User Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 KB/M = KeyBoard and Mouse. The battery will only help if you want to run your laptop without plugging it in. Running your laptop on shore power is usually better for gaming anyway. You can fool with display settings to do that, but it's usually not necessary. It's easier just to make sure your power settings are 'always on' when plugged in and just shut the lid. Of course, if you're not using an external KB/M or a gamepad that's just a bit inconvenient ;) Logitech makes some nice wrieless KB/M combos...even better they just have a tiny USB receiver instead of a dongle. On top of that one receiver will work with all your Logitech peripherals (except the F710 gamepad). That'll get the laptop off your lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Get a lap board to set your computer on when gaming. You can convince your laptop to use whatever monitor you want, in fact, there is probably a function key for just such an occasion. KB/M: Keyboard and mouse.

NiteBeast Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I recommend picking up some cans of compressed air. They're as cheap as $5 each I've seen and are used for dust, lint, pet hair, etc. Don't use a vacuum to clean it, the inflow of air over the thicker plastic nozzle tip causes a static charge to build up and it can arc.
