gtx 1060 6gb underperforming?

[DonKynos]

both me and my friend have gaming laptops, my friend has a gtx 950, and can run games far better than my pc can, and i have a 6gb gtx 1060, what is the cause of this?

uh is your laptop thermal throttling
laptops tend to be hot, so that might be the case

Make sure you are actually running the games on the Nvidia GPU and not on the Intel HD. Also make sure you don't have your settings maxed while he is playing at low.

If you have recieved the update to Windows 10 1803 remove the GPU drivers with DDU app while in safe mode and reinstall them. It's common for major Windows updates to mess up the drivers.

I've tried getting a cooling platform, and that has yet to solve my overheating problem. so far nothing has, any solutions other than gutting and putting the core components into a desktop case?

Ignore what he says, that dude has no reason to make such claims. He clearly doesn't know what he is talking about. From your discription of the issue I find it highly unlikely this is a thermal issue.

You can't put laptops components in a desktop case.

ah, yeah, I don't think its entirely a thermal problem, but I do have overheating issues, I run almost everything at 86c, and some of the fps drops do start to become much more common once it hits 86c. it rarely goes past 86c, it tends to just stay at 86c, from time to time it goes up to 90-95c,
and yes I believe I might have received the Windows 10 1803 update.

86c is very warm but not seriously hot yet for a laptop. When going above 95c you do encounter CPU and GPU throttling but that will only be for a few seconds to make the machine cool down a bit.

so it is overheating, check if its thermal throttling
those temps are ok, nothing to worry about
i would reccomend to keep using that cooling stand, give it more room to breathe
or if your laptop is dUstY clean that out, that will raise your temps a lot

you cant put laptop parts in a desktop case by standards, but you can if you do some heavy modding to a desktop case, fitted standoffs all that stuff, not reccomended at all but it has been done

did you update your drivers, do you have v-sync or have limited frames on

ignore what that other guy says, he clearly doesnt know what he is flaming about
