Why does my ASUS graphics card (GeForce or Radeon) show low FPS, and how can I improve performance?

Low FPS can be related not only to the graphics card but also to the CPU, memory, or in-game settings.

Start by checking temperatures — if the GPU is overheating, the system will throttle clock speeds, which sharply reduces performance.

Clean the fans and heatsink, make sure the fans are working properly, update the drivers, and ensure that all required power cables are connected (6/8-pin or 12VHPWR for newer models).

Check whether the game is running on integrated graphics. On ASUS laptops, switching can happen automatically — set the preferred GPU in the NVIDIA or AMD control panel. In ASUS Armoury Crate, select the Performance or Turbo profile for gaming.

In the game settings, lower resource-intensive options such as ray tracing, shadows, and texture quality. If FPS drops occur suddenly, check CPU usage — the processor may be creating a bottleneck and cannot feed data to the GPU fast enough.

Also check Windows updates — some OS versions can cause issues with GPU drivers. If FPS dropped after an update, try rolling back to a previous stable driver version.

Proper diagnostics help restore performance and achieve smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes.
