Regarding the first point: Regarding second point: Sorry, no idea how to do that XD. Thanks for the reply.

-high -nod3d9ex -nojoy -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -novid +mat_queue_mode 2 I kinda find it funny how there is variance from machine to machine, even though computers are designed with no variance in mind. Another episode of Haunted hardware eh?

Sorry sir, I don't understand what you mean.

The laptop in the video has an i7 6700HQ, which is slightly worse than my i7 7700HQ. The GPU in the video is GTX 980M, the GPU I have is GTX 1070(M). The 1070 is considerably better than the 980M. But he(she) is getting over twice my frame rate. That's what I meant. I do agree that source is a really old engine, but it is still possible to simply brute force it with advanced hardware isn't it? Thanks for the reply, regardless.

Update, disabling Dragon Center doesn't help that much. 5 Frames at most.

Thank you for your reply. I game while plugged in. And this laptop does not support G-Sync since it is an optimus laptop. I'll try with MSI Dragon center disabled. Although the only remaining MSI software aside that might interfere with GPU performance would be the Afterburner. Thanks.

Hi guys, Recently got myself a gaming laptop for games and school, it is a MSI GX63VR-NE1070 spec: i7 7700HQ @2.8GHz Quad Core w/ HT Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB 16GB RAM So I booted up counter strike and play a couple of games, but found out that the fps is just hovering around the 120 mark and frequently dipping below that. Having a 120Hz display can really notice when the fps goes down to 70 sometimes. Knowing that the cpu might be the bottleneck, I ran MSI afterburner and monitored the usage in game. I found out that GPU usage was hovering between 20% to 40%. CPU usage is about 60% for the first 2 cores and 40% for the last 2 cores, along with their respective HT. CPU temperature is about 70 while GPU is hovering between 50 and 70. I have the cooling fans in jet engine mode when gaming. Looking at some youtube videos about the game on laptops I observe that some of them having 80%+ usage and hitting 200+ fps easily. How should I achieve that with the same hardware? Things I've already done: Windows power plan: High Performance. Nvidia Control Panel: Prefer Maximum Performance. Running the game low on everything, with FXAA and VSync disabled. fps_max 600 Set to high priority in task manager. Nvidia Driver is up-to-date. Doing a little bit of reading on the internet, someone suggested that Nvidia is purposefully lowering the card's performance by pushing out frames just enough for the monitor refresh rate (120). Being an internet comment, sources and citation was not given so I am skeptical about that claim. Is that true? If it is, is there any method to disable that? I await your comments with great anticipation. Thanks to all who can spare a few minutes to help me out. Anymore information needed about the system please let me know. Sincerely to LMG community, Jia
