Frame Drops during Gameplay

[legendkiller236]

Specs: 

Processor
Intel Core i7-8750H
Graphics adapter
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
Memory
16 GB ram

It seems no matter how I configure pcsx2 I get this sudden frame drop from 60 fps to 45 fps, causing noticeable pausing and stuttering when the frames drop. With every game I try it seems every 4 minutes the framerates drops suddenly and then jumps back up to 60fps.

Hmm...
   
Same problem since 2018, even on your new PC, and all of your 4 threads talking about it.
Since nobody ever gave you the definitive solution I can kinda understand asking again and again, but making a new thread every time is not so good of an idea I think.
Also you said half solved in your post on 18.03.2019.

Edit: While the menus do stutter still, during the gameplay it works great. thanks so much

Yes, I did a similar with this months ago, I just didn't know if reviving a thread would be ok, I do apologize.

Just for a test(because I see similar thing while using rpcs3...I have not used pcsx2 much on my laptop so I don't know if this also happens there)
Close pcsx2 if it's running and then:
1.Open the nvidia control panel=>Manage 3D Settings=>Program Settings=>uncheck Show only programs found on this computer(it will take 5-10 seconds)
2.In the list below find PCSX2 (pcsx2.exe)...I don't remember if it is there by default or I add it(look carefully,the list is long)
3.Once you find it select from "2." High Performance NVIDIA processor
4.From "3." look for "Power Management Mode" and choose "Prefer Maximum Performance"
5.Hit Apply and run pcsx2

My laptop also have GTX 1060 but the cpu is 6700HQ

Keep in mind that by putting the laptop in High Performance mode, that it is recommended to play it with the power plugged in, cause your battery will go down FAST.

As in ten minutes, your battery will go from full 100% to a quarter 25%.

or your laptop has no cooling pipeline on it.....unless it's a asus ROG laptop they had a cooling pipeline design on it...
