    Cool Random FPS Drops (Yeah real original right?)

    Hi guys! First off sorry if there is a thread already pertaining to this "exact" issue, but likely not. I tried searching for one, but after the search yielded nothing, I decided making a thread!

    Ok so this isn't the normal horrible laggy bad computer fps problem. My computer isn't even half bad, it's just it shouldn't be this bad!

    I own an HP dv6000 laptop, which is pretty good, and I can do gaming no problem on low to med settings on a lot of games!

    Specs:

    1.9 GHZ Amd 64 x2
    Nvidia GeForce 7150m - 128mb Dedicated/ 703mb shared
    2 gigs Ram

    -Ok now for the problem!

    On all low settings I only get highest around 32 fps, but usually a constant 27 fps, except for one thing, my fps randomly drops like 6 fps every 3-4 seconds consistently! It will go from like 27 to 19 fps as I walk. This makes it appear like my screen "skips". I think it is what stuttering is qualified as, but I am not sure. I tried the thread about improving graphic performance, but nothing worked. I don't think my pc should be this bad. In fact even normally my FPS should be able to get at least 40 right?? I mean on low settings with this hardware I would expect at least a little better.

    If anyone has this problem and knows something I may be able to try, please reply. I am really anal about this, and it is hard to concentrate on this amazing game when my fps behaves so oddly. Thanks guys!

    -Matt

    You might try searching the Knowledge Base (our FAQ) for this issue. There's a link in my signature. Personally, I find that single term searches generally give better results. Try searching for "FPS" and see what you find - one or more of the articles may be helpful.

    If that doesn't help, then I'd recommend emailing Tech. There's a link for Tech in my signature as well... and on that page is a link to send an email.

    Thank you Victorie, that will help definitely. I don't think I searched Knowledge base yet, only the forums. I will let you know if it helps!

    Since you're using a laptop, does it go into a power-saving mode? If so, try disabling it while you're gaming to see if it helps.
