I’m getting fps drops to the single digits, while on average its around 30 fps. Even on lower settings and in smaller instances. my specs are:

  • AMD Ryzen 7
  • 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4
  • 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
  • 953GB Western Digital WDC PC SN730 SDBPNTY-1T00-1101
  • 1863GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2T (Starfield’s installed here)

Any help or insight is welcome.

Solved: It was an overheating CPU due to the vents being clogged with dust. Thanks for all the advice given, I do really appreciate it!

    A lot of gaming laptops have the ability to boost the fans. Might sound like an airplane taking off, but that should help regulate the temperature better. Headphones help.

    A quick Google search tells me that there’s an app called LegionFanControl that might help.

      I could give that a try. But I also noticed that the bottom vent-holes were clogged up with dust, so i blew that out but i haven’t played after that. Also put it on a laptop stand for better airflow. I really appreciate all the help, thanks.
