Stuttering at Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15ARH05

[Zeshan14]

I’ve been experiencing frame drops/stutters on games at my Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 how do I fix this?

The Laptop specs is Amd Ryzen 5 4600h, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650; 4GB, 8gb ram. I know my ram is pretty low but frame dropping at my specs isn’t normal. I have watched
benchmarks with the same specs and they don’t get a frame drop. I have set everything I can to performance mode too. [MEDIA=imgur]1YfDdcN[/MEDIA]

Others may have more for you for right now lets look at

Per @phillpower2
You only have a single stick of 8 GB RAM, two reasons why this is important, Ryzen CPUs are renowned for not liking slow RAM and if you only have the one 8GB stick it will only be able to work in single channel at 1600MHz rather than the 3200MHz that it would be able to work at in dual channel when two matching 4GB sticks are present, in addition to this, your CPU uses the system memory to support the graphics that it provides, this means that there is less memory available to go around which can cause overheating/lock ups etc.

I also see that you are running CCleaner which is notorious for removing files and registry keys that they system may need to run properly.

You may also wan to close out the 3 iso files that you have open they eat up memory showing as Microsoft Virtual DVD-ROM

Disable hibernate

Open an Administrator Command Prompt and use the following command

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

I will do that thanks! Prob I’m gonna buy another 8gb ram stick later.

Russ is spot with the RAM as only having the one stick is causing a bottleneck.

Specs here say that you can have two 8GB sticks of DDR4 3200MHz and that is how you will get the best out of your CPU.

In addition to the above, when gaming you need to change the Windows Power Plan to High Performance or your dedicated GPU will not get the power that it needs to work and you are using a wireless connection which sucks when it comes to gaming, you need to get connected using the Ethernet port.
