lowfpsgoodpc MY LAPTOP IS BEING A POTATO HELP

[dragondonut123]

Hey, my ROG Zephyrus M GU502 with a Nvidia 1660ti, i7 9750H is getting unplayable frame rates on FORTNITE(~30 fps) (low settings) and other non-intensive titles. 

 

I've updated the game ready drivers and theres no change. I can't play any game on even low settings even though im supposed to be able to!

 

I checked benchmark numbers for the laptop version 1660ti and i should be getting 3 times the frame rates im getting!

 

I've tried everything from making sure my laptop is on high performance mode and making sure it's cooled properly but nothing seems to get more than ~5-10 fps increase.

 

Please help me! This is my only 'gaming' machine and in this crazy quarantine here in India i dont have anything else to do

Do you know if your laptop has a setting that allows it to run off the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated? If so check that and make sure it’s not set to running off of integrated.

Yeah, I run it off my dedicated graphics and it shows that the dedicated graphics are being used but no change

IDK if fortnite has it, but try checking the settings to make sure that the game itself is running on dedicated. Is the laptop or game on a power saving mode? If it is try turning that off.

The games are running on dedicated graphics (atleast thats what they say) and my laptop is plugged in and not in power saving mode
