#My laptop suddenly doesn't properly run any of my games, and i think it has to do with my drivers.

hi, so this issue started about 2 days ago, where i started playing black ops 6 and straight from launch my game was performing dramatically. Like constant 5-10 fps. After a while of troubleshooting i figured out that updating my nvidia drivers to 566.14 worked. However, the next day my games were back to the performance before updating the driver. and this occured on all my games, just 5-10 fps immidiatlely from launching the game. This time i was a bit more panicked, but figured it out by reinstalling the driver. The issue again dissapeared for that game session. However, today i opened my laptop again and the issues are back as they were before. What is happening thats causing all this? because i dont think its good to just reinstall your drivers every single day. my laptop has a 3070 laptop gpu with 32gb ram, and my temps are fine. I hope someone can help me :)

HWINFO has two modes, Summary and Sensors. Normally, when asked, you'll want to use the Sensors-only mode to get the information that may be needed (e.g. temperatures, power usage, clock speeds.)

When opening HWINFO, make sure to tick "Sensors-only" so that it does not open the summary display first. Then click Start.

On some hardware, HWINFO may ask if you want to monitor them or not, as there may be some potential conflicts if they were monitored. Usually these aren't important enough to matter if it's being monitored or not.

Once HWINFO's sensor status window open, look for the relevant sections and screenshot them. If you're unsure, screenshot the entire thing. This window is scrollable, so you'll need to scroll and take multiple screenshots.

If you know what you're doing, these are the items you'll probably need (names may vary; below are samples from Intel CPUs; some items may not exist for your particular system):

  • Core VIDs
  • CPU Package Temperature
  • Core Thermal Throttling
  • Package/Ring Thermal Throttling
  • CPU Package Power
  • PL1 Power Limit (Static)
  • PL2 Power Limit (Static)
  • MOS
  • VR VOUT
  • +12V
  • Vcore
  • CPU Fan
  • Pump Fan
  • GPU Temperature
  • GPU Hot-spot
  • GPU Core Clock
  • GPU Power
  • GPU +12V
  • GPU Fan
  • GPU Performance Limit Reasons
  • Windows Hardware Errors (WHEA)

Open HWINFO and run 3DMark. Post the results and HWINFO tables
