Posted December 8, 2017 Hey all, I DESPERATELY NEED HELP. Recently got a gaming laptop from Dell, has a: GTX 1050 TI 16 GB RAM 7th Gen Core i7 7600HQ I made sure Global 3d Settings has NVidia processor enabled, BUT I AM STILL GETTING 30-50 fps on Counter-Strike, low fps on DotA and horrible fps on overwatch. My drivers are up to date, but I have a weird feeling that maybe integrated graphics is still being used for games? WHAT DO I DO!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2017 Check if power saver is turned on. Download MSI Afterburner and check you GPU clocks. They tend to get lowered a lot for reasons unknown. And usual, reinstall drivers, etc. The ability to google properly is a skill of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2017 In the past, I've had some issues with my GPU running at idle clock speed, might that be it? Make sure to tag and/or quote people so they get notified...

Also, in the past, I've had some issues with my GPU running at idle clock speed, might that be it? I'm worried its still using integrated graphics. 1050 ti is a handy card, and Ive used a 1050 ti in a desktop before paired with less superior cpu's and CS has run perfectly, I'm starting to get annoyed. Cant understand why this is happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant understand why this is happening! Did you try running the MSI afterburner overlay to check which GPU is being used? Make sure to tag and/or quote people so they get notified...

Posted December 8, 2017 Make sure it is using dedicated graphics instead of integrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2017 Geforce experience has a dumb little option in the power menu that automatically limits fps to like 30-40 fps. drove me crazy with my laptop until I found it. Might be worth checking to see if you have GFE installed already and its enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
