Acer Nitro 5 with GTX 1060 underperforming in low spec games
I recently bought a Nitro 5 with the GTX 1060 and i noticed a few problems.
While playing low-spec games i dont get the best fps possible with my setup. Checking the task manager shows GTX 1060 usage not above 20% and Intel HD Graphics around 30%.
This is not a big problem, HOWEVER in certain games that the 1060 doesn't want to kick in I get only 60fps when i should get around 100 (Rise of the tomb Raider)
Tried GPU stress tests and the GPU works just fine in heavier games with 95% usage on the GTX 1060 and Intel HD graphics around 10% usage.
This leads to me playing Rise of The Tomb Raider on Ultra settings at 60 FPS and playing Shadow of The Tomb Raider on high settings at 65 FPS.
Note* while playing lighter games the laptop still gets quite high temperatures(as if the GPU is at 100% but it is not)!!
Already tried all the obvious solutions like choosing high performance Nvidia processor in Nvidia control panel, updating all drivers related to GPUs and chipsets I could think of and choosing high performance before battery life everywhere I could.
