Why is my laptop doing worse on my dedicated graphics card instead of using the built-in one?
Why is my laptop doing worse on my dedicated graphics card instead of using the built-in one?
I own an Acer Nitro 5 laptop with an Intel UHD Graphics and a dedicated graphics card called MX-150. Even though I installed the latest driver from Nvidia's GeForce Experience, setting the MX-150 in Control Panel makes games act strangely and lowers performance. This causes me to wait much longer for loading screens because my graphics are really struggling compared to my Intel integrated graphics. I don't know what I did wrong or how to fix this problem since the dedicated card seems weaker than the Intel one should be.
Welcome to the forums! You should check if your laptop needs a BIOS update and see if your operating system is up for updates too. If both are current, use DDU to remove all old drivers, then manually install new ones using an elevated command like right-clicking the installer and choosing "Run as Administrator" from Nvidia's support site.
