I have quite a modern Laptop, HP OMEN With GTX1070 8GB Graphics and Corei77700HQ. Latest drivers from graphics-drivers ppa. All games start fine, after playing for a few minutes the frame drops to 15 fps. Then again after some time it returns back to full fps which is more than 75. Then this cycle continues and I can't play. This is a consistent behavior with 18.04 series and any distribution based on 18.04. I have a GSYNC Enabled Laptop screen which is only 1080p. I do not see this issue on any other distribution except Ubuntu base. I hear people saying that it could be Nvidia, If it was nvidia then it should happen to 16.04 too which it does not.
Can anyone help me please?

4.15.0-33-generic
causes me all kinds of grief. Can't suspend laptop. Extra ordinary keyboard lags typing in Firefox. Like 5 to 10 second input delay every 10 to 15 minutes (haven't timed it with watch). So I switched to4.13.0-36-generic
kernel for infinite improvement. Also for my GTX 970M I'm using nVidia proprietary driver384.130
. Quite happy overall now.
