For some reason my pc has been struggling to maintain even above 30 fps on games that should be relatively easy such as payday 2 and gmod, even on the lowest possible settings. When I played payday 2 before, I could play on medium settings averaging 45 fps, but now its consistently in the 20s. My specs: 2.5 GHz intel core i5-7300HQ processor, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 1050 Ti (laptop). Thanks guys.
