The Optimus issue is still there - thanks NVIDIA and M$! Acer G3-572

HK1994

My laptop is specced as follows: i7-7700HQ + GTX 1060 + 8GB DDR4 2666MHz.
I have had this issue ever since I have bought it, and my god was it living HELL.
Performance-wise it kicks literal asses, but when you clicked on the battery icon, and the whole thing stutters for 0.5 seconds that when you know something is F'd up.
Now it's nowhere near as bad as before but even moving a few windows will cause stuttering.
I don't know what is causing this.
MSI Afterburner shows that something is constantly accessing the dGPU in less than a second.
This is with some programs opened.



Can I get an explaination for this? Or a fix?
My BIOS version is v1.14 if that helps. And yes, I don't update to the newer versions, simply because it may F'd up my computer.

Hello! Have you checked that the problem occurs when you let the battery charge up to 100%? Current notebooks also often use battery power, even when the notebook is plugged into the power adapter, to provide more performance!

Regarding the battery icon, if the notebook is freezing for half a second, it might be because the intel video driver is outdated! Similar problems have already been reported on another topic! Also, what version of windows are you using? 1803 or 1809?
