Hey, I'm Bhargav Motiwala. I'm using a Lenovo L340 gaming laptop 1TB storage. I play valorant everyday and recently I upgraded to Windows 11 and now I'm facing a problem that my fps everytime drops from 120fps to 40-50fps. I have tried multiple things like changing driver settings, in-game settings, changing power plan, etc.

I bought this laptop just like a year ago and when I started playing the game after few months using the laptop I was facing the same fps drop issue but resolved it by plugging in the charger to get higher fps while in match and use to plug the charger out during loading screen or match lobby.

I'm repeated evey step currently after upgrading to windows 11 but nothing is working . Please if someone can help me through this and give me an exact solution I would be grateful!

    I'm sorry that my suggestions didn't help you.

    I'm out of ideas about this issue.

    But do not worry, as this is an open community, maybe someone has another idea that can help you.

    Best regards.

    Sorry, I forgot to specify:

    Customize the power plan by clicking on "Change plan settings".

    Change the Power Plan to High performance and see if it improves game performance.

    1. Press "Windows + R", type control and press Enter;
    2. Search for "Power Options" and select it from the list of results;
    3. Select the "High performance" plan, restart the computer and check the game's performance.

    Keep in mind that your computer will use more battery on this plan. Customize it if you want.

    Hi Bhargav Motiwala,

    I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Since you've upgraded to Windows 11, I think it's a good idea to do a clean install of your computer's video drivers.

    According to your computer's specs, it has two video cards, an integrated one from Intel and a dedicated one from Nvidia. I suggest you do a clean install of the drivers for both.

    Download the latest Nvidia driver from the link below. Don't forget to select your video card model to download the correct driver.

    https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang...

    Download the latest Intel integrated graphics driver (Intel VGA Driver) from the Lenovo website. Link below.

    https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/lap...

    Clean install of Intel video driver:

    Disconnect from the internet to prevent Windows from installing another version of the driver automatically.

    Uninstall the current driver:

    1. Enter "Device Manager" (Windows + X and select Device Manager);
    2. Expand "Display adapters;
    3. Right-click on the Intel display adapter and select "Uninstall device";
    4. On the confirmation screen, check "Delete the driver software for this device" and click "Ok".
    5. Restart the PC.

    After the PC restarts, run the driver installer you downloaded.

    Nvidia driver clean installation:

    1. Run the installer you downloaded;
    2. Agree to the license agreement;
    3. In the "Installation options" section, select "Custom (Advanced)" and click Next;
    4. In the "Custom installation options" section, leave all components checked, check the "Perform a clean installation" option, and click Next;
    5. Wait for the installation to finish, restart the computer, and test the game.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.
