For the past few months, my Acer Nitro 5 has been very laggy. I have it connected to a monitor, lid closed, cable plugged. When I enter, the fps is under 200, and extremely glitchy. I have to restart and shut it down a few times to go back to my normal fps. I have all the recent drivers.

    Have you set up the Nvidia Control Center correctly? Please follow all my instructions below

    Please click YES if I answer your question, thankyou

    Make sure you do this below and always game on 100% battery BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged in while gaming, in your Windows Power plan select High Performance when on AC and in Nitrosense make sure High performance is selected under "AC" tab

    1. Download and install the latest Nvidia drivers from here 
    https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx. 

    2. Go to the Nvidia control center and click Manage 3d settings tab, then click the Global Settings tab and change Preferred Graphics processor from Auto select to your Nvidia GPU, do this by clicking the downward arrow to the right of Auto Select and select the Nvidia GPU. Then under the Program Settings tab select the programs and games that you want to run on the Nvidia GPU. Do the same under the Set PhysX Configuration tab


    Please click YES if I answered your question
