So on my project, I have this one scene (which is my first level) where if I sit my laptop on my desk, there’s framerate drops, if I sit it on my lap, there’s no frame rate drops. This does not happen in every project or scene though, so I’m wondering if there’s some specific sort of thing in the project/scene that makes it sensitive to that. Any help is appreciated, thanks 
I would monitor your GPU and CPU temperature.
High temperature can cause a throttling of the hardware.
Do you have on one place a power cable plugged in and at the other not?
Windows can be set so that its saving extra battery power if no power supply i plugged in. Search for powersettings to find out more.

Yeah, you’re right, I had it unplugged when it was on my lap, and I tried unplugging it on the desk and no frame rate drops. I think I may be overworking the GPU in my game, which may be causing it to be sensitive to that. So how could I keep from overworking the GPU?
Ok, so if I switch my power option in control panel from “high performance” to “balanced”, the frame rate drops disappear, so now I need to know how to optimize my gpu and cpu to use the same amount of power (or less) as in balanced mode.
