What're the temps showing?

this is with only chrome running

 

[Pedeadstrian]

Why would you show it with only Chrome running...? Play some games and show the temps during that.

Heres running Black ops 2 the most i saw the gpu temp go to was 41

It's not the temps then... does this happen regardless of in-game settings? Try switching them up. 2GB is rather low so a lot of games will lag if you have settings like texture quality too high.

Yes, games set on the lowest settings will still have bad fps. Ive tried that.

i could play with a stable 60fps but in around 5-10 mins it goes to 25fps out of nowhere
in pc games and emulators

Is this one of the ones on ebay? :o

What's your specs boss?

Power settings related? It's obvious that it's getting throttled.

I mean. Can you see if you could change Windows settings for power management, and chose the "best performances" profile?

oh. Ill check.

EDIT: Checked and it was set to balanced. Changed to high performance.

 

[KevinLSX]

That still did not fix it.

Try downloading MSI Afterburner and checking the logs to see if anything else appears off, like CPU/GPU usage maxed or sudden temp spikes. And if that shows up empty, make sure your drivers are updated.
