Every few minutes, when I’m playing 3d games (like minecraft or blue price) my fps drops to around 5-10, stays that way for about 10 seconds, and then returns to a normal framerate. This does not happen with 2D games. I don’t play competitive games so it doesn’t impact me a ton but I thought I’d report it here in case someone can solve the issue.

I doubt the diemension of a game has anything to do with it, rather it is probably due to 3D games being more resource intensive. Do you use a nvidia gpu?
Need specs. Have you checked your free memory while games are running?
Try installing and using gamemode (if you haven’t already).
Did you check the temperature of the cpu and gpu? It might be a overheating problem that causes the fps drops.
I’ll try to do this, thanks for the tip.
