Predator Helios 300 PH317-51-779L is slow and does not run games as it should

Have you tried to dedicate the game directly to the GPU? 

hey ı ve same  predator and  ı ve same problems what u say all of them

If anyone finds out what exactly (some driver or software etc.) from the 1803 update is causing the issue please let us know.

I was buying just few days ago predator helios 300 Nvidia GTX 1060 6G when i try to play pubg mobile emulator fps was to low not working smoothly  

late here but same problem except its gotten worse today, i have a helios 300 PH217-51 i7 7700HQ gtx 1060 16 g of ram 60 hz model
fortnite, was running above 60 fps usually at 1080p but couple drops so i moved down to 1600x900 which ran good, although for €1,399 pretty ***** {building a PC soon but tempting to sell laptop as its dogshit sadly] and now it cant even run 1600x900 at 60 fps, everything at lowest settings, even put res at 470x200 not even 60 fps, and yes, i had the laptop for a whole year and a half now, [dont mean to be rude here] dont BS me with *v-sync* and is your charger plugged in, i have litarally commented on reddit, and on here so many times and have waited so many times and looked at performance videos on youtube which arnt that good and yes, i am using my GPU not my integrated graphics
its reall frustrating, as i do not have my own income and it was my parents gift for christmas and they dont know much about PC*s so they got whatever they thaught was good
ive seen many youtube videos of near this exact model exept with a 7700k instead, and it had a 100fps increase in fortnite [example] for a simple cpu change which i find really weird [ i understand diffrent CPU's are better at certain things like 7700K is better than a 7700HQ for gaming]
but a 100fps increase is really weird, aswell minecraft a game i got back into, onyl runs at max 200 fps, but can go lowest to 20 when doing random stuff, and now stays at 40-80 but usually dips at 60 constantly and again dont know why
Fallout 4, somebody with same model at medium to high settings 1080p 60+ fps constantly, me i go lowest settinsg 1080p and usually dips under 60 fps
nobody has helped me find a problem after a year and a half of trying, this laptop even went into repair for a broken fan, [issues started when i got the laptop] and they said nothing else was wrong with it, sorry for the long post, but can somebody help with this bs, sure many other people have the same problem ;/

Hi all,

I have (had) the same machine.
As you may know, this model has 2 graphics cards inside. An intel for basics and some games, and a GTX1060 for high performance gaming.
When the GTX1060 is used, you may have a message to plug in the AC outlet, because internal batteries are not sufficient to fullfill  power requirements of the GTX.
So, before playing super games,
1/ plug in the AC.
2/ If this don't work, may be your graphics card is locked on Intel. Let the AC on, and right click on the desk, to access Nvidia configuration panel.
Choose config 3D parameters index (I don't know the exact term, I have a french version). Inside, you will see a list of different programs inside your computer. You will be ble to choose for each one, which graphic card you want to use.
I think that could help.
