FPS drops while charging your laptop can occur due to several reasons, but it's commonly related to power management settings. Here's a checklist of potential solutions you can try:
1. Adjust Power Settings:
- Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
- Select "High performance" to ensure your laptop is not throttling performance while plugged in.
2. Update Graphics Drivers:
- Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit the official website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to download the latest drivers.
3. Check Temperature and Throttling:
- Use software like HWMonitor to check for thermal throttling. Excess heat can cause your laptop to reduce performance to cool down.
4. Disable Battery Saver Mode:
- Ensure that battery saver mode is not active while plugged in, as it can limit performance to extend battery life.
5. Manufacturer's Power Software:
- Some laptops come with their own power management software (e.g., Dell Power Manager, Lenovo Vantage). Check if these are set to a high-performance mode.
6. In-game Settings:
- Reduce some in-game settings to see if the FPS improves. Sometimes games have specific settings that may cause issues when the laptop is plugged in.
If none of these solutions work, consider contacting your laptop manufacturer’s support for more specific diagnostics.
