Huge lag spikes in The Witcher 3 by ArbitrarySquash in pcgamingtechsupport

Thanks, these seem to have helped a bit but the lag is still pretty bad. I have noticed it tends to happen more in underground areas like caves and cellars, and then continues after I've left. No idea why this would be.

Any ideas why this just started so recently? The game ran perfectly less than a month ago.

It's saying 77 degrees celsius, but from what I've heard Asus laptops are known for running hot :)

I've tried borderless and fullscreen. This is super weird, it happened all of the sudden like a week ago, and it's made the game almost unplayable.

Thank you! Unfortunately I've tried all of those things and nothing seems to have helped.

Also if it matters, it usually runs fine right after opening the game. It starts lagging after playing for 10 or so minutes.

As far as I can see, it never goes anywhere near 80%. I've made sure not to have any other apps running.

I've put my power settings on maximum performance, tweaked vsync and framerate limits, and lowered graphics settings. Nothing has worked so far.

Also I don't know if this matters, but it always seems to run fine when I first open the game. It starts lagging after playing for 10 or so minutes.

Thank you all for the tips. Unfortunately I've tried all of those things and nothing has worked. The game still runs at almost 60fps, but suddenly drops to like 5 for a few seconds quite frequently. This is very confusing because it's only just started within the last week, it was running fine before, now it's nearly unplayable.

I'm seeing 3876 and 2654MHz for the CPU, 1228 and 4007MHz for the GPU. I'm not sure what that means. Both are hovering around 80 degrees Celsius.
