So my problem is this: When i play games after some time i get fps drops and even crackling sound at times. I opened msi afterburner to see what is going on i noticed that after some time integrated graphics usage increases to %90s and dedicated graphic usage decreases from % 100 to even 10s and that is when fps drops happens. This happens for five or ten seconds and it returns to normal. This is really frustrating. What i tried: Checked my computer for malware > none Set power option to high performance Updated drivers and BIOS Some said set cpu usage limit to %99 percent to avoid throttling tried it didn't solve it Some said disable virtual audio device as it interferes with the graphics tried it it didn't help Deleted and reinstalled graphic drivers (strangely, after this cpu temp went high as 95°c normally it stays around 70°c and that is when i noticed integrated graphics stopped interfering with dedicated graphics but temps were high but when i rebooted the computer it went back to being 70°c and fps drops continued) also while i play games dedicated graphics usage is always %100 My specs are: intel 7700hq İntel hd graphics 630 Nvidia gtx 1050 ti 16 gb ram
