My fps is trash all of a sudden
I usually get around 60-70 fps. I have capped it to 60 fps. But today when I open Val, I'm getting trash fps like 20-30. Please help me

Is it for certain maps or for every map
every map
How hot is the CPU?
its normal
70-80 c
That's normal???
How long have you had your pc/laptop on for
2 years
On for 2 years straight?
no
30 mins
no longer
Did this happen randomly or after like an update
i updated yesterday but it was fine
now its trash
Is it consistently 20-30 fps or does it go up and down
Like never goes above 30fps
consistent
never
You changed Ur video settings at all?
In valorant
And windows
nope
i play at 1280 x 800
Hasn't been a long time since u played val right
When u got fps
Trash fps
np
My English is terrible lol
np
Like have you had a break from the game
nope
not at all
last game yesterday 12 am
Was your cpu always 70-80 degrees?
yep
How high is the utilisation in valorant
For the cpu
wdym
Like if you go task manager
And go performance
i do that
You can see the CPU utililization
i hv did every fps guide i could find
How high is that
Have you done this guide before you got bad fps?
98%
Like ever
Damn
I think you might need a new cpu for val idk
why all of a sudden tho
Cos 98% I think damages the motherboard
i play on a laptop ;-;
And 70-80 is pretty high
You got a laptop cooler
it not always 98%
nope
now its 72 %
Shouldn't be reaching that high though
o
You got a graphics card
Idk if you can balance the graphics and the CPU
Pretty sure it's only cpu based
intel uhd
it sucks
im getting a new gaming laptop but in april
Ah
You got any thermal paste
Idk if thermal paste is meant to go on laptops though
Never tried it
it does
Cos there's no fan on top
Ah
You got any that can try on that cpu?
i also play csgo
i also got 70-80 fps
only in val
Did the frames affect that too?
Not cpu problem then
Wait is csgo cpu based?
yep
Show me your settings in val
Display settings
i cant
i do know them
Huh
Have you tried putting normal resolution
1280 x 800
Graphics all at LOW
Fullscreen
1920x1080
lags alot
Bc modern ones might perform worse on lower resolution
Nvm
Does it affect your fps alot when you move your crusor
Cursor
nope
I used to get consistent 60-80 fps
until today
So you haven't changed anything at all before you got the bad fps
nop
You got any background apps
Such as discord
Affecting valorant
nope
You close all your tabs playing val?
Like every application
yep
Except valorant
Does val run smoothly at the start then gets worse overtime when you power your laptop on
no
What r Ur csgo settings
Similar to val?
the home screen is just as smooth but range and maps all lag
yrp
What is Ur fps limit on menu etc
60 right
60 but it dosent matter cus i capped it from game fils
U got vsync on
nope it lags if u turn it on
What's your refresh rate
For the screen
60h
60hz
Do you play while charging?
yep
What's your fps limit when on battery
wdym'
Like in settings
There's like the fps limit thung
What do you have it for on battery
Max fps on battery
60
So it dosent stutter
Like if you stand still
It will always be 20-30
yes
and when i move it gets worse
Do you use your laptop for anything else
Like work/school
yep
Cos factory resetting might work but doubt
Cos csgo works fine
Try putting all your settings to default and changing them back?
will my files get deleted>
Yes
That's why I asked 😔
No clue what to do
let me see after my cpu get cooled
Try lowering the mouse update
Like if you aggressively move you mouse around
Does your fps get significantly worse
In game
nope
like yesterday it was fine
no lag
You've tried restarting laptop too ri g t
I don't think the CPU is the problem though
yep
tried it
If it works fine before with the same temperature
Wait have you tried playing csgo
After you got the trash fps
nope
i gtg now
Try playing csgo and see if your fps decreased
Ah cya
U seem to know alot abt laptops etc can u maybe help me too? I always had abt 150 fps but now when I start a match its smooth for abt 5-10 mins but after that the fps drop down to 60-80 and sometimes lower
Probably the CPU's fault
Does it often overheat after a certain time
Cos that's what my old laptop used to do
Went from 100 to like 30-40 after a few mins from overheating
Not sure I'm wearing a headset
Press ctrl shift esc
damn that sounds like it
Then go to performance
Is the CPU usage like rlly high
I cant check rn I'm still in school tbh
Idk how to check temperature without going in bios (might need 3rd party app)
Ah
Lmk when you can
Currently 11pm for me though
Can I send u the link of the laptop?
Eh won't do much
Cos there's a bunch of reasons that could be the cause
Idk much abt cpus n stuff
Valorants a cpu based game
If your cpu like overheats it probably gets damaged
Reducing performance
oh dang
Is there any way to fix it?
Thermal paste probably
But if that's not the case, more simple solution
Also you could use a laptop cooler
Had a bit of effect on the low end laptop
But would decrease in performance after a game or two of comp
can u tell me what that is? (sry)
It's like a thing that prevents the cpu from heating up
Apparently you can use it in laptops
But you'll have to open your laptop up
And find the cpu and apply it which is a pain
Especially if you don't know much about computers
oh ye ur right
How old is Ur cpu
What gen
check dms Imma js send u the lap
👍
you can always undervolt if your cpu is constantly overheating
turn off background apps
and high cpu usage will most likely not damage mobo
it just lowers cpu lifespan
if you play on windowed fullscreen you should switch to fullscreen
lower resolution and also try using multithread rendering
also turn off hardware accelerated gpu
^should be in properties
Fixed
How
^for intel cpus, windows platform, use throttlestop, goated
if u were experiencing higher than before temps, repasting thermal grease is the first thing u should do
how did u fix it?
Have u set a restore point?
