I recently got a predator helios 300 and it games well when the dedicated graphics card is being used but randomly during games ill drop to about 15 fps because it switched to integrated graphics.  I looked up a ton of stuff and couldn't find a solution and i called acer support and they were not much help either.  Is there anything I can do about this or will i just have to deal with it?

    Hey. If during a game you are connected via Wi-Fi, then when it is used for a long time, it overheats, and the laptop automatically switches to the integrated graphics. You can try to connect directly through the cable. The quality of the picture and the speed of the game will increase (If of course there is such an opportunity). Good luck!
