But honestly, 60 fps is just fine, don't know why you would even complain about that.
Smart response. This is something they should check. Dust and dirt on the fans, the air intake and output vents, etc. can really make a huge difference with laptops. Their system may be throttling its performance due to overheating. They can use the Task Manager to easily see GPU temp and some GPU software that they may already have installed like AMD Adrenalin can show CPU and GPU temp without needing to download other software.
Yeah, I do. Why? Because some of them can.
Now I will admit that 75F is probably not the temp in that laptop which is why I removed my post.
Yeah, that temp should be fine. Did some quick reading on that laptop's normal temps and that is within the normal range for it.
Incorrect on both counts.
Some CPUs can run at around 75F or lower (while mostly idle of course, under heavy strain/load they generally can't or won't) but those CPUs aren't all that common and/or require higher end cooling solutions or climate controlled enclosures to keep them at those temperatures, however it can and does happen.
What people consider to be "standard" room temperature differs depending on where you live. Where I live 75F would be considered high, or "too warm" for room temperature, by most people. 68 to 72 would be more common here. Currently it's slightly below 70 in my home, for example. That said - whatever temperature of the room is actually "room temperature." This, of course, means if you have a computer in a climate controlled room the CPU can run at fairly low temperatures and certainly below 75 F.
Agreed, 75 should not throttle. Capping is definitely worth a try. If 60 works, you can go up and see up to what point you can go.
There also was an Nvidia driver update recently.
No. Correct and here's why: I wasn't specifically talking about laptop CPUs but CPUs in general. Oh, and the cooling obviously matters, and that really needn't be said since I specified that already but maybe you didn't read that part, which is why we were talking about heat and dust/dirt in the first place.
As I explained already room temperature varies. Some sources have it lower than the values you just stated and most sources define slightly different ranges. In some sources the ranges for room temp. do not include 75F and higher. That's why I explained that room temp. varies because it does. The only true room temperature is based on the actual temperature of the room. If a room is 75F then that's room temp for that room, if it's 50F then that's room temp. for that room. Do some research on it and you'll see what I mean. As I already told you where I live 75F is not within the normal "room temperature" range, people here tend toward a range from about 68 to 72 at most.
I have been in some impressive server rooms and I would say they could certainly take 29 degrees Fahrenheit off a CPU's temp if it would be idling at 100F+ or so under non-climate controlled conditions. It gets downright chilly in some of those places. Brr.
