Jan 27, 2016 at 23:52 comment added EnragedTanker Update: For whatever reason, reinstalling Windows worked. I can hit 70-80 fps with no problems at all :D
Jan 15, 2016 at 0:45 comment added EnragedTanker Nope.. not yet at least.
Jan 13, 2016 at 22:50 comment added PhoenixFieryn so did you fix it?
Jan 12, 2016 at 19:16 comment added EnragedTanker I feel like reinstalling the OS might work, simply because I had to do a clean install of Win 10 (and thus reinstall the Nvidia drivers before I installed my games) when I first got my laptop, and I did get good performance after that.
Jan 11, 2016 at 23:18 comment added PhoenixFieryn If it can solve this kind of problem, I would list it as a solution. Same for buying a new computer. It may be drastic, but that doesn't make it not a possibility. And I had this type of problem before where overclocking actually fixed it. It was in cities skylines and I was only getting 25FPS with a i7 4790k and a gtx 970. Overclocking somehow got it to be 60 stable. Re-installing the OS may work. But I have re-installed my OS several times to get a game working (didn't work). So I suppose it's opinion of what is drastic or not. But I appreciate the insight :)
Jan 9, 2016 at 21:25 comment added Vahx I really really would NOT list overclocking as a possible solution for this. Its nice that you add a list of options, but its not needed to list the bad option that will not solve the problem; OP screwed up his settings (most likely) overclocking will not fix those settings. same for re installing OS, that is a very drastic way to "reset" something..
Jan 9, 2016 at 20:44 comment added EnragedTanker Funny thing is, the GPU isn't overheating at all, so I ruled out any sort of temperature issue.

Added new solution and warned about overclocking
Jan 9, 2016 at 19:55 comment added PhoenixFieryn Yeah I agree with you 100%. However, I was only listing all the possible solutions as some people do gain better performance when OCing. I will update the answer though :)
Jan 9, 2016 at 9:37 comment added MC ΔT I don't think overclocking would be the safest idea for a laptop - remember that the OP was getting better performance previously. And as for exchanging hardware, it's a laptop, pretty sure CPU and GPU are attached directly to the motherboard...
