Posted August 10, 2021 Just purchased a new "cheap" gaming laptop... It was $899 usd... Sold by walmart, is the same rebranded laptop Cyberpower sells. Mine is called the EVOO EP7.. Specs are: Ryzen 7 4800h 8c 16t GTX 1060s 6gb 512gb NVME 16gb DDR4 in Dual Channel 1tb NVME Steam Drive Wifi 6 120hz 1080p ips display Playing Age Of Empires: Definitive Edition. Yes the 1st one!! I'm only getting 28-30FPS.... I don't understand why!!! Benchmarking puts the CPU faster than my I7-7700K and around the same as my desktop RX580, which plays this game perfectly on a JUNK display... I have nothing running in the background, and I'm not thermal throttling.. Does someone know of a piece of software I can download and run that will tell me why my game is running so crappy? Thanks James P.S. Something else I wanted to try, but doesn't seem to work. I wanted to try out the IGPU that is part of this ryzen 7 4000 series APU... I tied setting the NVIDIA Control panel to Integrated, and the Windows Display manger to use the low power graphics, but when i run the game, task man still shows the RTX card active. (I've reverted this back to normal, so its not causing the FPS issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 10, 2021 Im willing to bet AOE1 is locked to 30 fps Community Standards || Tech News Posting Guidelines ---======================================================================--- CPU: R5 3600 || GPU: RTX 3070|| Memory: 32GB @ 3200 || Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken || PSU: 650W EVGA GM || Case: NR200P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 10, 2021 Author I thought that too, but its not. There is a check box in the settings to limit FPS to 30, but i have it disabled. My desktop with the 7700k runs it at 60fps no problem..

Posted August 10, 2021 Author So I may have found the solution.. I'm about to try it now.. But I started to dig in the Nvidia Control Panel because I'm missing the "display" tree. That sent me on an adventure to check the Nvidia Geforce Experience Program, where I found a "Battery Boost" option enabled, which limited FPS to 30... I turned that off... I'll try it again now. This DID NOT fix my issue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
