Cannot play at 1080p
I apologize in advance for my concerns may be annoying to seasoned PC gamers, however, I recently switched from console to Windows gaming and I have been bugged by not being able to get the quality that I expected from my Predator 17x GX-791 that runs on Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.60GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 980M, 16GB RAM and a display of 1920 x 1080 x 75Hz.
I am currently stuck playing Nier: Automata at 1366 x 760 resolution on high graphics settings at 30fps. The fps rate bumps up to 60fps upon GeForce Experience optimization, though, but is still on 760p. Could this be the ceiling as to what this machine can offer? Can I really not run games on 1080p despite my monitor's native resolution at 1080p? Or does it depend on the game that I am playing?
Thanks in advance for shedding some light on these.
