Random low fps periods

Playing Pokemon Black on my lenovo Thinkbook with an invidia mx640 and an 11th gen i7-1165G7, and I'm getting these periods where the game just slows down to maximum 15fps and lags like crazy. I'm currently trying every different settings option to try and fix it but nothing seems to be working. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I'm using 0.9.14 as well.

Re: Random low fps periods

blow the dust out of your system and set it on high performance mode. laptops are constantly trying to thermal/power manage and make poor choices. you may also try changing config > display method and the 3d renderer settings to cause the laptop's poor thermal/power management to malfunction in preferable ways. Finally, look for rogue processes of vendor's pre-installed crapware or microsoft's systemupdated crapware which may be activating from time to time. You may have also installed your own crapware (automatic system backup software or security software) which could be soaking up the system resources sporadically.

You may also need to pin the desmume process to the discrete GPU (rather than integrated or the default auto-managed) because all of the above could cause it to change which GPU desmume is on sporadically, and it may be dropping when put on the integrated gpu
