Game performance drops unexpectedly during gameplay.
Game performance drops unexpectedly during gameplay.
Open NVIDIA Control Panel to check which GPU your games are utilizing. It's possible your games might be relying on your IGPU rather than your DGPU. This could be a possibility, though it's not likely.
From the Nvidia Control Panel, navigate to the settings or preferences section to access additional options.
Click the start button and launch Device Manager. There you'll see a big list; locate "Display adapters" and expand it. You should see two choices—one for Intel and another for NVIDIA. Ensure both are turned on.
You've completely reorganized your drives and reinstalled Windows, yet the problem persists.
Your OpenGL score is 73-75 FPS, which is nearly double my performance. Your GPU usage in games usually stays between 20-30%, which seems reasonable. It’s puzzling since none of the drivers I’ve updated have improved things, or maybe something else is affecting it. The biggest frustration is not being able to figure out what’s wrong. Thanks for your patience and support so far.
