Ok no problem. Can you just let me know tell when you team will fix intel iris xe graphics issue

JosueO_Intel · ‎03-18-2022

Hello Abhijeet_980,

Hope you are doing great and staying safe, in this case, it is important for you to know that since the games are playable on battery life means that drivers and GPU are working well while running the games, and the drop of the FPS while charging the laptop could be related to the high temps.

Important to mention that Genshin's impact as per release notes ReleaseNotes_101.1404 ''anomalies'' known issues have been reported on 12th gen but this should not affect temps and this is on another family and for Valorant we have an article: "Frame Rate Issues with Valorant on Driver Version 27.20.100.8587 or Higher". We were unable to replicate issues related to FPS as per the article and as well this should not be affecting temps.

Our recommendation, in this case, is to check the issue directly with your system manufacturer to get specialized support on how to handle temperatures and issues while charging your system.

You might need to check the following with the manufacturer:

Check on the processor pad.
The fan is clean.
Update the BIOS.
Check with for BIOS settings.
Update all drivers.
Without opening any apps, check Task Manager to see if there is any abnormal services or program running.
Make sure the charger is not damaged.
