Cheers to the mod team and Relic. As I have said before, reading thru 1000's of posts is a lot of work. On top of all of the real work that had to be done. That is a huge sacrifice for the community!

Does anyone have a count on the number of posts about balance since this started?

Depending on how good your laptop is, your monitor can only refresh at 60Hz or 60fps. You are saying that you see 110 fps which would mean you are NOT SYNCING the refresh. Check the GRAPHICS OPTIONS and set V-SYNC to OFF.

Another option is that some anit-aliasing got turned on or some other setting.

Windows 10 has a reputation of updating drivers and killing your PC. Check to see if your drivers got updated recently.

What is V-SYNC
Your videocard draw a scene to a frame buffer in memory. When your monitor has drawn all of the previous frame it sets a refresh flag and tells the videocard "Now is a good time to give me the next frame". So for the smoothest looking visuals you want to lock buffer swaps with the monitor VERTICAL SYNC flag. If you do not use V-SYNC you can get partially drawn frames as you are seeing some of the previous frame as it is being overwritten. This is called TEARING. it looks like the screen is tearing apart.

HOW DOES IT KILL FPS
Your PC draws the scene to the frame buffer. Then it sits there doing nothing until the V-SYNC happens. This is time it could be drawing the next scene to keep your FPS smooth. That is why professional gaming monitors are usually TFT panels that look like crap but they can refresh at faster rates like 144 Hz.
