alright so I've been playing arma 3 lately and it used to run super smooth at 50-60 fps but now it's lagging at only 2 fps after i reinstalled the game. no idea why this is happening though, since the only fix i found was a full factory reset on my pc and that's really the only thing working for me if anyone else has tips or tricks to help it out, that would be awesome!

Here are the computer parts you need to know. Does this thing look like a laptop?

it is a laptop, but I can play the game on very high settings with no problems. Here are my specs: a Core i5 running at 4.5 GHz, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti GPU (this card looks new to me, though if you want more details about it, just let me know). I have an Acer Nitro 5 with the 10th generation processor.

You probably have a graphics card built into your main chip, not a separate one plugged in. Just pick the 1650 from the settings menu so your computer uses its built-in screen instead of an extra adapter.

Can you help me figure out how to get there? I'm a bit confused and stuck on the Control Panel, not sure what to do next.
