FPS drops

my FPS is usually smooth 60 FPS throughout the first 10 minutes of a match but then it just starts gradually dropping from there to 30 then to 20 and it drops to like 4 whenever im in a gunfight or something important is happening another issue is when the aforementioned FPS drops happen my movement is like delayed and janky and i only move like 0.6 seconds after i hit the key im using: windows 10 dell laptop 64x thing 8 ram CPU: intel core i7-4610M 3.00 GHz my gpus: GPU 0: Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU 1: AMD Radeon HD 8790M ive tried FPS guides and everything but none of them worked, do you guys know if theres any way i can fix this or is the only method truly to just upgrade my specs or get a PC

do u use ssd or hardrive?
12th Century Peasant
hard drive
name1618_001

so that can also be one of the problem cause hardrive is slower than ssd
12th Century Peasant

12th Century Peasant
@name1618 ok i played a match with it and the issues still remained for the first 6 rounds, the match played like normal, but then on the 7th round the FPS drops continued to happen, and whenever i was in a gunfight my fps would drop much much lower only at the 14th round the FPS went back to normal (54) i noticed i couldnt change the resolution in the graphics settings too but everything else i did normally

mythea10mo ago
more than that, even has a chance its manufactured a decade ago its a 4610m ur ac adapter, lets say "charge while using ur laptop" fcpga chips have an average of 35-45w tdp which arent suitable for dc usage they will run out of battery(DC) very fast

finix10mo ago
I am 70% sure that its pc problem then Does your pc gets heated up while playing?
12th Century Peasant

Kyanite
Kyanite10mo ago
