CPU isnt performing as it should.

[jqysen]

I have an ASUS TUF FX505DV laptop with a AMD Ryzen 7 3750H, 16 gigs of ram, and a RTX 2060. When I launch any games I'm getting terrible frames. My old laptop got more frames than what I'm getting. I've tried updating drivers, I've tried putting the power that goes to the proccessor to max. Idk what else I can do. I wanna try and fix it before I try and return it. I put some pics of task manager while minecrafts in the background. I don't think the cpu is working as hard as it could be. There's also pics of my GPU and iGPU. Idk why my iGPU is being used that much and why my GPU isnt being used as much as it could be. Anything I can do to get the maximum performance out my parts? Really don't wanna have to go through returning this thing.

Minecraft is not GPU intensive. So the system is probably switching over to the iGPU instead of running the game on the 2060.

 

This is only a guess. Can you force operation to the dedicated card only in bios?

Windows 10 allows you to force an application to use a certain GPU. Though with Minecraft you might need to select the Java runtime exe if you use the Java version.

 

The option is here: 

 

 

Locate the game exe, or the Java installation runtime, and pick the GPU instead of the iGPU. That way it will only run on the faster card.

edit: I can't verify for Minecraft as I am running a tonne of updates - including my GPU drivers. If nobody posts the Minecraft solution, I will post it when the updates finish.

@TehDwonz that's exactly what I was going to suggest.

Still doing updates, but I would assume for Java Minecraft, it'd be the main Java runtime exes that need to be set up? Obv not the launcher. Never tested it.

All done, so the file you need to force to use your GPU is at:

Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\bin\javaw.exe

So use the setting mentioned before, browse to that folder and select javaw.exe. Then you get the option to select a GPU to use.

Once that's set, it will force Minecraft to use your preferred GPU.

 

This assumes you run the Java version - if you run the Windows Store version, you'll need to track down the exe file for it.

Actually, it's easier for the Store version:
