I just bought a new Laptop Acer Aspire 7 (A715-72G-74ZB) with Windows 10 installed. During Laddergames i get FPS-Drops. My Framerate is around around 230 FPS and drops to around 180 FPS which makes it impossible to play. I tried everything i could think of to fix this: - turning DVR off - trying different settings in NVIDIA - Poweroptions - Ingame-graphicsettings - Firewall/Antivirus - Disabling Startupservices (msconfig) - Installing latest drivers Any help is much aprreciated. Thank you. | ||

You can try adding Frameratecap=(144 120, 60 or whatever the refresh rate of your monitor is) in the SC2 variables.txt file that you can find in your documents folder. You don't need a framerate exceeding the refresh rate but I know drops can be very annoying. Hope that helps! | ||

Thanks for the answer i already tried that before and it does what it should do, but I still get FPS drops :/ BTW you can also do this with a command in the Battle.net-MENU. | ||

Also, 180fps = unplayable? I never go above 144 and most people are fine with 60. | ||

That's the one which increases the quality of particles, beams etc. The improvement you get is not worth the fps cost. Also, 180fps = unplayable? I never go above 144 and most people are fine with 60. All settings are already on low. The problem is the Framedrop, which result in lag. | ||

If the throttling is due to heat then it's a hardware problem | ||

The other thing you can check is that the CPU is getting decent airflow. I bought a used Chromebook a few weeks that would be as loud as a banshee as soon as you opened youtube etc. Turns out there was a plastic tape with tiny holes under all the grills. Soon as I took it off the problem went away. For your laptop, try elevating it by a few centimeters so there is room for fresh air to reach all the fan grills. Even its too hard to play like this, try a replay. If this works you know it is an airflow problem. | ||

I tried everything i could think of to fix this: What you mean by make the game unplayable ? 180 FPS is a very high number and should be good enough to play. Maybe it is a CPU problem or a throttling problem due to heat. You can check that using the task manager: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-power-throttling-windows-10. | ||

Maybe it is a CPU problem or a throttling problem due to heat. You can check that using the task manager: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-power-throttling-windows-10. A big HW lag. Imagine you have 230 FPS now and the next second you get 0 FPS for 0.5s. And then you have the 230 FPS. IT would have shown you 115 FPS if you're able to notice, maybe some better capturing software would have shown something like this mroe than a simple drop to 180. That's at least what I'm edit> wrong word, English hard, no cofee didn't help either | ||

I use frameratecap=60 and frameratecapglue=60. You dont need 200fps at menue aswell^^ edit: in both games (sc2 and diablo3), menue wants more power than the actual play/game. | ||
