Weird video issues

Hi community,

 

Recently, I noticed that my laptop is no using its discrete graphics card, and only using the CPU (you heard me right, literally the cpu, not even the integrated graphics) to render anything. The frame rate in any given game goes from 120+ fps straight down to 1 fps. Any ideas on how to solve this?

 

 

Reminder 

The IIA rule applies here:

I'm mostly speaking from experience so what I say may not work

I may be a complete asshole in some threads but I swear that I won't lie

Anyways, I am always glad to help

Typically laptops with switchable GFX cards use either a physical switch (less common) to software to make the switch (more common) but without knowing which laptop you have, it's difficult to give you a solid 100% correct answer

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
