Low performance in games, FPS drops, game is not smooth on new SSD
Hello,
A few days ago I installed Windows 10 on my laptop using Microsoft instalation tool (Pobierz WindowsÂ*10) (Windows 10 version 1809). I've done it because I've changed my old HDD to SSD. On the previous disk (HDD) I had Windows 10 version 1803.
Unfortunately, after installing several games, it turned out that there is a significant drop in performance during game. When I was using my old disk, the FPS were relatively stable (at around 130-150). The game worked very smoothly and without complaints. Now, having a new disk with new system (Win 10 1809), the FPS jump from 85-150. The game cuts out from time to time, the screen frames and there is a lot of discomfort. It looks like that I am lagging (even in offline playing).
The things that I tried to do:
- I updated all possible drivers (graphics card, sound card, etc.) - several times trying different versions of drivers
- I have disabled xbox services (I read that it can affects on the performance during game)
- I have disabled all options from the "Playing" settings (Settings -> Playing, including the game bar)
- I changed the visual effects in order to get the best possible system performance
- I have disabled the dvr option using the registry
- in the nVidia control panel I set all the options like it were on the old disk (i.e., for the maximum performance)
- I set the games options to the least demanding ones
- I changed the power options to the highest performance
- I used an anti-virus to check for any unwanted files / programs / viruses
- I changed the thermoconductive paste in the laptop
- I reinstalled the games several times
- I reinstalled Windows (I thought there might be some installation error)
None of the above solutions helped. I thought I might have damaged something when changing HDD to SSD. I installed the HHD disk again. On it (Windows 10 1903 version) everything worked as it should. I decided to make photoes of all the settings and make the same settings (including the same versions of all drivers) on the new disk. I did everything as planned but it not helped.
Despite the low performance in games the disk runs very smoothly and there are no problems with it. I will add that the games and the system are installed on different local disks.
I have a Lenovo y50-70 laptop:
- Intel Core i5-4210H processor
-8GB RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960m
What should I do to make the games run smoothly again? I am looking for a solution for several days and I have no ideas anymore. I've already searched for answers on many forums and videos on YouTube but nothing helped.
Sorry for my Enlglish!
