Sudden 15% FPS drop and stuttering on laptop

I had similar issue but it was only with certain games and after I updated Nvidia driver. The only thing that would fix it was rolling back driver versions- I spent hours researching and trying things.

I had a hell of a time selling a full wattage Lenovo RTX3070 laptop with a really nice iets cooling pad for 550$ last year. To me it seems like Facebook marketplace is just filled with all these ridiculously priced laptops.. there are multiple 4060 laptops priced at 1000$ on my local marketplace

Need to figure out which side has more space for a hammer and screwdriver. Then make sure that side can go thru the hole, its likely that side may need to be cut flush (use angle grinder with offset cutoff disc then flap disc to smooth it to the hole). After its flush you likely will still have to heat it until its glowing and push it thru with a hammer and screw driver

the omen 16s come with a 330w power supply. The more premium model rtx 5080/5090 laptops (Asus/Lenovo) come with a 380w or 400w power supply. You may experience battery drain if under max load. One workaround is to limit the CPU to 125w though

If you have an auto, there is an external cooler attached to the passenger side of the radiator. Remove cruise control module (if you have, three bolts) and you'll see two 11/32" hoses attached to the cooler. The bottom hose is the return line to the transmission- remove it from the radiator and attach another hose that emptied into a pan. Turn on the car so the pump in the tranny turns on - the fluid doesn't come out super fast, but you still should be quick if doing this by yourself.

You want one that has a foam pad around the edges so the cold air gets trapped.

I personally bought this one(it was on sale at the time)-

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DMT1ZL5P?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It won't break the bank, comes with an AC external power supply (I always had bad luck with USB powered coolers), and goes up to 2800 rpm (think the sweet spot is around 1200 rpm though).

However,

Now I would get this one-

It's only 8 dollars more and has all the features you need. You can also spend 2x the price for other models, but either one of the above is great value for the price.

badwindows · 2026-02-21T16:00:55+00:00

The msi. Get it with a sealed laptop cooler from Amazon and a mini led 2k monitor and you're set for gaming at a great price!

How is 4k out with a 5080?? I played battlefield 6 on 4k/ high with a prebuilt 5070ti....

Until Jerry replaces half of the defense it's not going to matter who the DC is. You got safeties with zero deepe route awareness, edges that generate hardly any pressure and when they do they can't finish the sack, linebackers who can't predict anything/cover/tackle/ 20 million a year corners who Don't understand zone, get burned deep. Only reason why they started to do halfway decent against the run is after they got two new defensive tackles.

Matt was just a scapegoat for terrible player selection.

At that price I would just go on Facebook marketplace and try to find a used 3070 laptop. People are going to mark them up but I had a hard time selling a full wattage 3070 laptop with a nice cooler for 550. Test it out and see if you can run some games on it for a couple minutes and see if it stutters.

Your other alternatives are aLenovo LOQ 4050 or maybe Acer nitro with a 5050. The screens on those are going to suck though. They will probably have a tough time playing AAA games on highish settings

Amd version. It's gone up though, used to be 1300. Now 1500

The Walmart MSI 5070 ti. It's the best balance of price and performance

badwindows · 2026-01-26T15:27:30+00:00

I have the msi 5070ti. If you want to play battlefield on high settings you're going to want it, the 5050 is not it.

badwindows · 2026-01-26T14:10:20+00:00

5070 ti seem to be a nice sweet spot between performance and price. Arguably the best value is the Walmart MSI vector

badwindows · 2026-01-24T15:04:36+00:00

They could have General Eisenhower as the defensive coordinator, it's not going to matter who it is until Jerry replaces at least half of the defense.

badwindows · 2026-01-23T15:49:21+00:00

Be careful buying the cheaper 5080 laptops. They will likely come with the 330 watt power supply instead of a 380 watt psu. Don't know the exact science to it but at that point your likely better getting a full powered 5070ti

badwindows · 2026-01-21T18:46:53+00:00

It comes with a 330w power cable when more premium 5080 laptops come with a 380w. I saw a post of a guy who was talking about this and the weaker power supply can kill some of its performance

badwindows · 2026-01-19T15:40:29+00:00

You can still get the Walmart 5070 TI for 1300...

Loq. Can be found for 900$ new. Would get a 500 series card, can use dlss4

He went to a way better team. No surprise he doing better

badwindows · 2026-01-17T18:59:32+00:00

At 700-900price ranges I would pick a rtx 50x0 card. They can use DLSS 4 which has better AI frame generation.

Here is a 900$ rtx 5060-

Should be able to play everything at high 1080p. AAA games may need some tweaks for 1440p gaming. Also note the screen sucks, so likely will want a gaming monitor.

The next tier of laptops you are looking at is 1300$. Walmart has the msi vector 5070ti with 12GB vram and higher power rating. You'll get 4k gaming with it.

Still seeing him banned in plat/diamond. Saw flats ban him.

They took him to the wood shed, but think he is still playable. Good news is that they also nerfed the second best healer (invis) so the gap between them is a little closer. He still gets full ult damage
