So i have a lenovo idea pad laptop from about 2013. It worked fine with soft games like xd go and minecraft type things and this game called ace of spades. But for some reason over the course of about 2 years i have had significant fps drop. Mainly in a game called ace of spades that hadn't been updated in any way to effect performance. It would work fine for 10 mins then fps would drop to 15 - 20 frames for some reason. So about 3 months ago i bought an exp gdc beast egpu doc (works great) with a 1060 3gb so i could play gta v, about 2 months ago i got about 45 - 55 fps (the doc makes the card slower). But now it runs at 35 - 45 fps even after putting setting down. Can anyone help with this? I'm going to get a new desktop pc so i'm sure the problem will disappear then but i still want to know why this is happening.
My laptop is getting slower?

You need to find out what your cpu is doing when this happens. Task Manager may help with that.
Usual culprits -- malware, antimalware, and background programs of all varieties

Do a scan on it make sure no viruses or anything. Laptops slow down faster than pcs anyway. I had a brilliant laptop from asus and it would slow down with stuff like minecraft and sims after a couple years. Especially when I was using alot of memory, running server for minecraft. Id sometimes completely wipe the laptop when desperate backing up important stuff to a external hard drive. It would help it run better for awhile, but eventually just got a gaming pc. X
