HD graphics vs dedicated gpu

[BelgianNoise]

Setup:
laptop with 7700HQ + 1050 TI + 1 extra 1080p monitor

I have got this laptop for a year now and it is starting to bother me how low frame rates im getting.
So i decided to look into taskmanager to see what was going on.
This is while playing rocket league


Why am i not getting playable framerates? not at 1080 nor 720. i can really see the frames so i am guessing like 15-20fps in 1080p
I already went into the Nvidia controlpanel and made sure my games use the dedicated GPU.
While in game the integrated graphics rise up to 80-90% and the GPU stays at 30% with 0.4GB VRAM used.

Is there anything i can do to fix this ?
under normal load (like at this moment) my HD graphics are active at like 50% which is normal i guess.
I dont know if that is helpfull information.

extra info: the 100% on the 1050 in the pic is a peek which occurs every time i open or exit the game

Try opening Nvidia control panel and going to 3D settings. At the top of the list should be a drop-down that allows you to select the preferred GPU. Try selecting the Nvidia option and running the game.

I already tried that

hmmm. Have you checked the in-game settings to see if it has a way to manually select GPU?
If you have, I would try to use DDU and clean install your drivers.

Well i think it has something to do with the extra monitor. Playing on the laptop screen itself is very smooth

Possibly.

I've never had issues with my i5-7300HQ + 1050 laptop, though I've never used an external display.

My friend has never had issues with 2 different laptops (i5-7300HQ + 1050 and a i5-8th gen + 1050 Ti) and an external display.

If you have this problem on an MSI gaming laptop: look no further!
Its just some stupid internal thing.
The HDMI just can't be used with the 1050TI (in my case).

Its just something you can't fix.
Never buying MSI again. i knew there had to be a catch for that price.
