hardware Graphic issue(?)

[Ser Vulcan]

I very recently bought Dell's Inspiron 15 5577. And it is marvelous for a budget laptop, it ran GTA 5 at top settings and 60 FPS with no lag or rendering mistakes and used all the available 4 gigs of video memory. But when I tried to play Fortnite, it lagged, hung and sometimes objects didn't render at all (everything was on medium settings) and I even crippled the FPS to 30. I know it's not a internet related issue because the ping is always 10 to 15 ms. I would contact the Dell's system support but all my benchmarks are game related and their tech guy probably won't know what I'm talking about too!

 

As a side note, my pal consistently gets 60 fps on medium settings and he uses i3 5th gen with Radeon m330.

Specs : 8 GB RAM, i5 7300HQ, GTX 1050, 1TB HDD (no SSD).

I've tried overclocking but not too much because overclocking may void my warranty. Overclocking seemed to improve the situation by a very tiny margin, the visuals were cleaner but the lag was still noticeably present.

If GTA 5 ran at top settings easily at 60fps then the fortnite should atleast get mid 40s to 50s. So it's not a laptop problem. Fortnite along with PUBG had and maybe still have some issues, bugs etc. Have you tried any other games that use many resources? Other games than Fortnite.

Yes, Tomb Raider (2013) at ultimate settings, Batman Arkham series at all ultra settings and Skyrim in ultra high. Watch Dogs 2 runs at high settings at about 48 to 50 FPS. All these benchmarks are with no overclocking.

And if this is indeed a bug, why is it showing up only on my system? Lack of resources or just sheer bad luck?

I would say bad luck.

Is there anything I can do or do I just have to wait and pray? PS. Thanks for the RE.

Might be the NVIDIA control panel for some reasons used the intergrated GPU for PUBG, can you check?

checked, no game specific driver used.
