Low Fps On All Games All Of A Sudden Mac

All games suddenly have low and unplayable FPS. Sometimes Windows 10 programs such as task manager and file explorer are slow to start. Temps seem fine and I have already reinstalled Windows 10.

Hi all


Recently I have had problems when using my BootCamp partition for gaming. Essentially, the laptop runs too hot and as a result the GPU throttles to prevent overheating, causing intermittent FPS drops to occur which as you may expect mess up the entire pace of the game. This has only begun to happen within the past few months - I have had many months of trouble-free gaming previously on the exact same setup. The fans are running at maximum and core temps tend to be in the 80s, so no luck there. As I have currently tried:


Resetting SMC

Deleting partition and reinstalling Windows

Steinberg DAC to Genelec 8010 Monitor Speakers


As previously said, nothing in my setup has changed and this problem has only recently occurred. I am unsure why the fans cannot keep the temperature down all of a sudden.
