I own a Lenovo Legion 5 w/ AMD processor and a NVIDIA 3060. As the title mentions, I've noticed an FPS drop in games, specifically Overwatch, by 20-40 frames (so going from stable 120 on mid settings to barely 100 on low) in intense fights and in CS2 in general.

At first I thought the problem was the Windows update (and it still might as well be), but even after rolling it back nothing changed.

Then i tweaked both my graphic settings in-game and in Nvidia Control Panel - no effect. Next resort was placing the back of the laptop on a makeshift jackstand, created out of 2 huge bottlecaps to improve airflow and also increasing fan speed and using a basic OC option in BIOS through Lenovo's native options. This lead to like a 5 frames increase and way better temps, but that doesn't change the fact that the laptop is performing worse than it was a week ago.
