I am a victim of a video card in this series. I have the 7690m XT for my laptop. It'll run Smash Bros fine (and I'll notice that the GPU usage drops tremendously which causes a hiccup, but luckily this only happens when a battle is loading)
But Sonic Colors on the other hand... the GPU core clock will drop from 725 to 300, which kills the frame rate down to a disgusting 5FPS. Before the drops occur, it seems steady around 25 FPS, which is certainly playable. I have the power settings set to push for max performance plugged in or not, and my temps are fine. I also tried downloading a custom set of drivers developed by Leshcat, and those may have helped slightly, but I'm still noticing the GPU dropping up and down. Is this normal, and if not, is there something I can do about that?
