The graphics card, a 1050ti with 4GB of memory, is now underperforming.
Using a ASUS ROG laptop equipped with a 1050ti and 4GB of graphics memory, I was previously experiencing excellent performance. Last week, I consistently achieved around 200 frames per second in CS:GO and approximately 80 fps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Now, I’m seeing frame rates closer to 30-40 in CS:GO and roughly 10 fps in MW. My laptop’s only current problems are related to gaming, and I don't believe a new solid-state drive is responsible for these significant drops in performance. Could someone offer assistance?
Certain laptops utilize their integrated graphics processing units instead of relying on Nvidia’s proprietary drivers – this is often done to manage compatibility with the varying GPU configurations they employ. That’s the reason I recommended consulting the Asus online resources.
It seems more likely that the graphics drivers haven't been installed following the solid-state drive installation, or that it’s utilizing the built-in graphics processor—assuming an Intel processor is present. Additionally, overheating and subsequent performance limitations due to thermal throttling remain a potential concern.
I’ve installed the latest NVIDIA and Intel drivers, ensuring all software is current. Despite this, when I execute any application, my task manager indicates a 100% GPU utilization rate, yet the frame rates remain disappointingly low. What's the best way to monitor my laptop’s GPU temperatures?
System monitoring software displaying real-time hardware statistics.
Will the game utilize a separate graphics card instead of an internal one?
I am certain that games with adjustable settings on my computer are running correctly, utilizing my 1050 graphics card. However, other games only work when I configure the display settings in my NVIDIA control panel to prioritize my 1050 over the built-in graphics processor.
Are the laptop’s drivers custom-made? To my knowledge, certain laptops alternate between graphics processing units depending on the situation, and this necessitates particular drivers. It’s advisable to investigate this with Asus's online resources.
